As we recognise International Women’s Day, we’re proud to celebrate the women whose dedication, expertise, and leadership play a central role in HW Facilities’ success.

Facilities Management is often regarded as a traditionally male‑dominated sector, yet HW Facilities stands as a strong example of how women are not only contributing to the industry — but leading within it. We’re proud that 70% of our management team are women, bringing a combined 80 years of service to the business. Their experience, drive, and creativity continue to shape our standards and facilitate our growth.

From accounts, administration, and HSEQ, to cleaning operatives, site management, and customer support, women play an essential role at every level of HW Facilities. Their contribution not only ensures the day-to-day running of our operations but also drives the innovation, ambition, and quality standards our clients value.

Leadership Voices

Jan Hone – Area Manager (Joined 2021)

“I am grateful to be a Leader at HW because I never feel like I am doing it alone. There’s trust, honest conversations, and a shared commitment to delivering high standards that makes the day-to-day both manageable and meaningful. Support isn’t just a word here — it’s something you feel in the way we communicate, collaborate, and stand behind each other.”

Irina Serseniuc – Key Account Operations Manager (Joined 2023)

“Leading at HW is not about titles — it’s about responsibility, empathy, and consistency. Here, you are not just a number. The human element is our soul. Working within HW, I truly feel supported in my role. And when we invest in people, we build stronger teams, stronger services, and stronger futures. We grow when we support each other, when we create opportunities, and when we lead with integrity and care.

I’m proud to work in an environment where I feel encouraged, respected, and empowered to grow.”

Jan Marriott – Head of HSEQ (Joined 2022)

“What empowers me as a leader at HW is the trust to lead in a way that reflects my values. I’m encouraged to think strategically about how we strengthen compliance, training, and the systems that support our people — and my ideas are always taken seriously. The support I’m given means meaningful change isn’t just welcomed; it’s enabled. Leadership at HW is both purposeful and genuinely rewarding.”

Marta Zelkowska – Area Manager (Joined 2024 ) 

“The company has provided me with great opportunities to develop and grow, for which I’m very grateful. I feel well supported in my role, and whenever challenges arise, I never feel like I’m facing them alone. Some of the people I work closely with have even become friends I can rely on, and there is always someone available to offer guidance and support, which makes a real difference.”

Women Making an Impact – Through the Eyes of Our Clients

The value our teams bring is recognised not only internally, but regularly by our clients:

“I’d just like to provide some feedback on your team members Nicki and Aga. They came to my branch today to do a deep clean, which I was really impressed with. Their professionalism and working procedures are second to none, and both are a real credit to your company.” Client Feedback – February 2026

“Working with you has been a truly positive experience. I especially value your supportive management style, clear communication, and the trust you place in your team. You create an environment where it feels safe to share ideas, ask questions, and take initiative. That has helped me grow both professionally and personally.

Your ability to stay organised and focused while also being understanding and approachable makes a real difference in our daily work. I always felt that my contributions were valued and that I could rely on your guidance when needed.

Thank you for your leadership, encouragement, and the example you set.” Client Feedback – March 2026

And of Bella and Arlena, further standout members of the HW team:

“Bella has always been a doer and has given exceptional support to make sure our offices are well looked after. Her standards are high — and that is the amazing woman she is.” Client Feedback – March 2026

“Arlena’s work has never been short of wonderful. Although she comes in after hours and isn’t officially an employee of our organisation, she truly feels like an essential part of our team. Her work is consistently thorough, reliable, and carried out with great care and pride. We come in each morning to a space that feels refreshed, organised, and ready for the day ahead, and we value her services massively and thank her for all her ongoing hard work!” Client Feedback – March 2026
