This year marks a remarkable milestone for Globe Williams International 25 years of passion, growth, and unwavering commitment to excellence in Total Facility Management. As we celebrate this special anniversary across our offices, it’s worth reflecting on where we started, where we are today, and the inspiring path that lies ahead.
Our Beginning
Globe Williams was founded in Melbourne, Australia in 2000, born out of a simple but powerful idea by our Founder and Group CEO, Peter Souvatzis. Frustrated by the fragmented approach to facility services that he witnessed, Peter envisioned a company that could deliver seamless, reliable, and complete management solutions under one roof. From those early days, his belief in unity, professionalism, and attention to detail shaped the foundation of what Globe Williams is today.
The Journey of Growth
What began as a local Australian business quickly evolved into a global organisation with a presence in more than 40 countries across Europe, Asia Pacific, North America, Africa and beyond. Over the past 25 years, we have grown into a multi-national team of over 28,000 passionate professionals, serving thousands of clients across varied industries around the world.
Our services now span the full spectrum of facility management from technical maintenance, cleaning and hygiene, security and environmental services, to catering, real estate support, vendor management and business consultancy all under a single trusted partner.
A Culture Built on People
Our people are our greatest asset. It is their talent, care and daily dedication that bring our mission to life. Across all offices and teams, we have embraced a culture that values trust, teamwork, continuous learning, and deep respect for the communities we serve. This shared commitment has driven us forward and strengthened the bonds we share with our clients, partners, and colleagues alike.
Excellence and Innovation
From day one, Globe Williams has upheld the highest standards of professionalism and innovation. We have built cutting-edge systems, customised operational platforms and consistent processes that allow us to deliver tailored solutions that meet every client’s unique needs. This combination of human insight and technological enhancement has been key to our resilience, especially during challenging times such as the global pandemic.
Our Vision for the Future
As we celebrate this 25-year milestone, we look forward with humility and ambition. Our vision remains clear to continue evolving, push boundaries, and drive positive change across the global facility management landscape. We will keep fostering a culture of sustainability, community involvement, and client-centric innovation, while nurturing the careers and well-being of our people.
Above all, we remain committed to making life safer, simpler and more efficient for every organisation we serve. The journey ahead is bright, and we are excited to build it together with every member of the Globe Williams family.
Here’s to 25 years of achievement and to many more years of shared success.
