Knight FM acquires a strategic stake in Campeyn Group

21st March 2024

In a groundbreaking move designed to redefine the landscape of facilities management, Knight Facilities Management Australia (Knight FM) proudly announces its acquisition of a strategic stake in Campeyn Group (Campeyn). This partnership transcends the conventional boundaries of collaboration, emphasising a comprehensive strategy to enhance operational efficiency, foster innovation, and elevate the client experience.

Under the new ownership structure, both companies will continue to operate independently, but will share common systems and processes to operate their back-office services, including IT, HR, Finance, OH&S and compliance. Knight FM will provide sales, marketing, tendering, procurement, and subcontractor management functions for both organisations. The integration of back-office functions is a strategic manoeuvre aimed at harnessing synergies and eliminating redundancies, offering a unique value proposition in the competitive market.

Naveen Radhappan, CEO of Knight FM Australia, articulated the strategic vision behind the collaboration, stating, “This arrangement provides tremendous opportunities for both organisations. By seamlessly integrating our back-office functions, we aim to fortify our competitive position and streamline operational delivery. With a highly complementary client base, this collaboration is a win-win situation for our clients and for both organisations.”

Expressing enthusiasm for the partnership, Ben Peynenborg, Director of Campeyn Group, remarked, “We wholeheartedly welcome Knight FM’s strategic investment in Campeyn. Having established a solid reputation in local government and disability services, we now look forward to accelerating our growth with the invaluable support of Knight FM.”

The transition, scheduled over the next two months, is meticulously planned to ensure a seamless process with minimal disruption. Importantly, clients of both Campeyn and Knight FM can rest assured that all client-facing staff and functions will remain unchanged during this phase. The transition will be executed with precision, maintaining the high standards of service both organisations are renowned for.

This strategic collaboration not only signifies a union of two industry leaders but also represents a commitment to innovation, efficiency, and client-centric operations. As Knight FM and Campeyn Group embark on this exciting journey, they look forward to shaping the future of facilities management and service delivery.
