How We Deliver

Globe Williams’ success, evolution, and growth leave no room for the occasional or the accidental. The basis of our progress was set upon the most rigorous criteria from the very first project back in 2000. Professionalism, know-how, and ideal processes have been present since day one. Not just cumulatively but as organic parts of the overall success mindset of our 28,000 people, both the founding team and those who joined along the way.

A group of professionals was strengthened and grew as the company transcended national boundaries to become an award-winning, multi-national organisation with offices in 34 countries on four continents -from the Asia-Pacific region to Europe, North America, and Africa. After more than 23 years, our know-how gives us the confidence to consistently excel. And it is this level of excellence that lies at the foundation of every trustful relationship with each and every one of our 8,000 customers – an amalgam of thoroughness, dedication, and custom-made approach, to name a few.
After all, reaching 97% client retention is not as simple as it sounds. And if it seems easy, it’s because we know how to make it happen.

Innovations & Systems

How do you harness technology in a time when its advancements are not just larger than you think but greater than anyone can imagine? You remain focused on your true objective: the human factor. The practical aspect of technology is present across Globe Williams’ operations.

From our custom-made ERP to the use of the ‘internet of things’ to advanced HVAC Technology and beyond, innovation is ever-present – efficient, progressive, effective, and human-centered, creating a connection grid on a global scale. Thanks to our Computer Aided Facility Management (CAFM) Software, and other related software solutions processes become simpler, procedures flow easier, automations enhance productivity, and our people can uninterruptedly focus on what really matters: providing you with the best custom-made solutions to suit your needs according to the latest industry standards.

Awards & Affiliations

Peter Souvatzis

Globe Williams Founder & Group CEO

Peter graduated from the Athens University of Law in 1989. Soon after he completed his Masters in International Law at the Monash University in Melbourne, Australia and also earned a degree in Media Communications in Greece. A lawyer by trade, Peter found himself working with a real estate company in Australia. Every time he went onsite for a job, he noticed a lack in maintenance companies needed to do all of the tasks required. Peter found it frustrating to contact each individual facility tradesman. Filling this need, Peter founded Globe Williams International in Melbourne, Australia in 1999 and has since built the company into a multinational and multimillion dollar business. Peter is still an active international law advisor for major legal firms globally. Peter speaks fluent Greek and English and resides in Athens, Greece. Peter is married to Adel and has two daughters Felicity – Mari and Venus- Chrystal.
