SAFM PROJECT OF THE YEAR 2023: Squarebizz Business Center Nitra and Squarebizz Bory Bratislava

Together with Karimpol International Slovakia we won the main prize for project management – Squarebizz Business Center Nitra and Squarebizz Bory Bratislava. The award was received during the gala evening by the representative of Karimpol – Mário Klas and Tomáš Korpáš, Director of Facility Management Division at ENGIE Services.

Mario Klasa’s statement when receiving the award:

“I am very pleased to receive the SAFM PROJECT OF THE YEAR 2023 award. I would like to thank ENGIE Services for the nomination and successful cooperation.

We are proud of our projects and it’s not just an empty phrase. We know what we are building, we know who we are building for, we know how and we know why. Being different, being innovative and being green makes sense not just because there is a lot of talk about it now, or because legislation is slowly starting to require it, but especially for the future. It’s not easy or cheap, but at the end of the day it’s something that not only you, but your tenants will appreciate.

I have to say that ENGIE was the first choice for us right from the start, after opening and studying the bids within the tender for the provider of Facility Management services for the Squarebizz Nitra project. We chose ENGIE from almost 10 bids received. It was already clear from the tender itself that the people who prepared the tender had thought about it. I liked the fact that it was technically sophisticated, economically advantageous and, most importantly, tailored exactly for us. Based on this, we decided to go with ENGIE and we are still very happy with the service they delivered.

In addition, after less than a year of cooperation, we changed the original operator of facility services on our pilot project Squarebizz Bory Bratislava and we entrusted the technical management of this area to ENGIE. Today it has been one month since they took over the operation at Bory and I express great satisfaction on our behalf. I believe that our good cooperation will continue.”

Another of the SAFM awards – Personality of the Year 2023 was awarded to our long-time colleague Július Jégh.

  • He supported the younger generation by educating and imparting experience, through various lectures and presentations on campus.

  • At ENGIE, we respect him for his humanity, kindness and collegiality. We appreciate his always positive attitude and outlook on life and functioning. Even problematic things he always looks at with a detached attitude and for him everything is solvable.

We also attach his immediate comments on the award:

“Winning the award was a huge surprise to me. While accepting it, my whole career at ENGIE flashed through my mind and I saw all my colleagues who have accompanied me professionally.
