The SSH Group’s Journey from Cleaning to Comprehensive FM Solutions
From humble beginnings to a national footprint, The SSH Group has grown into a respected name in facilities management (FM), with a commitment to quality, reliability, and long-term partnerships.
A Legacy Rooted in Excellence
The SSH Group’s story began in 1997 with the establishment of SSH Cleaning, a specialist cleaning service provider. Initially focused on delivering commercial and industrial cleaning services, SSH quickly earned a reputation for excellence, catering to both government bodies and public-sector organisations across the UK.
As the company grew, so did the scope of client needs. It became clear that there was a growing demand for dependable building and maintenance services. In response to this demand, SSH Group expanded with the launch of SSH Building—an arm dedicated to high-quality building maintenance solutions.
Diversification & National Reach
The introduction of SSH Building marked a significant turning point. It enabled the company to diversify its service offering and form deeper, more enduring relationships with clients. With the rapid growth of its building maintenance team, SSH extended its service reach across the UK, becoming a trusted partner for businesses seeking consistent and high-standard facilities support.
Today, The SSH Group proudly employs over 170 skilled professionals directly, supplemented by a vetted network of specialist subcontractors. This workforce serves a diverse, loyal portfolio of clients who rely on SSH’s commitment to quality and dependability.
Strategic Growth & Acquisition Focus
In recent years, The SSH Group has entered an exciting growth phase, driven by both organic development and carefully targeted acquisitions. This expansion strategy is designed to strengthen the group’s capabilities and broaden its industry footprint.
The group’s acquisition team actively seeks established FM service-based businesses—typically with 15+ years of operational history—specialising in areas such as:
HVAC
Mechanical & Electrical Services
Plumbing
Flooring & Roofing
Plant Hire
Pest Control
Specialist Cleaning
This strategy ensures SSH continues to offer an expansive range of services, while preserving the values and standards that have underpinned its success for over two decades.
Looking Ahead
As The SSH Group continues to evolve, its mission remains clear: to deliver reliable, high-quality facilities management solutions that clients can trust. With a solid foundation, a growing team, and a forward-thinking acquisition strategy, SSH is poised to lead the way in integrated FM services across the UK.
