DMA Group – Making Buildings Work Better, Since 1803 We’re DMA Group, a proudly independent SME with over 220 years of experience in property services. As a privately owned business, we combine our long-standing expertise with the agility, responsiveness, and availability that larger providers simply can’t match. We’re big enough to deliver, but small enough to care. Our mission is simple: to Make Buildings Work Better. We help our customers manage and maintain buildings through a comprehensive range of services that are as specialist as they are essential; from Facilities Management and Integrated Managed Services to M&E Maintenance, Energy & Sustainability, and Project Management. We bring strength across sectors — working with schools, colleges, universities, and other education providers, as well as high-end residential properties, commercial offices, charities, hospitality venues, retail, leisure, and health & social care settings. At the heart of our operations is BiO®, our multi award-winning, proprietary service management platform. BiO® delivers real-time performance data and automated workflows that streamline operations, reduce costs, and drive accountability — both for our team and our customers.
