Programmed kicked off the month of March with a sizzling start—celebrating the renewal of our long-standing partnership with Melbourne Airport over a lively morning BBQ.
This milestone event was more than just a meal; it was a reflection on nearly seven years of successful collaboration, innovation, and shared achievements.
With this renewed partnership, we remain dedicated to providing comprehensive Facilities and Civil Maintenance Services across designated areas, ensuring 24/7 availability for both reactive and preventative maintenance. Our commitment to upholding the highest service standards continues to be a cornerstone of this partnership.
At the heart of our success is a deep understanding of the unique demands of airport environments. Leveraging our expertise from partnerships with major aviation hubs across Australia and beyond, and our proven track record in managing critical infrastructure, we are proud to play a pivotal role in ensuring Melbourne Airport operates seamlessly. Together, we’re unlocking greater value, driving efficiencies, and shaping the future of airport operations.
Nat Hickcox, Head of Facility Management for VIC/TAS & Utilities, said, “This renewal is hugely exciting for our business. Melbourne Airport has been a valued partner for a long time, and we’re honoured that they’ve chosen Programmed to continue this journey with them.”
He added, “This is the biggest undercover facility in Australia, and for a facility management provider like Programmed, it’s an incredible opportunity to introduce new ideas and drive innovation.”
Matthew Stirling, Melbourne Airport’s Executive General Manager of Engineering & Asset Management, echoed this enthusiasm: “Everyone from the frontline to management is part of the broader Melbourne Airport family. They work closely with us, our stakeholders, and other service providers across the precinct. They prioritise our travellers and step forward to make a difference—not just in the trades they look after, but also in driving customer experience across the precinct.”
Jarrod Wadden perfectly captured the spirit of working at the airport: “The special thing about Melbourne Airport is that every day is game day. With 100,000 people passing through daily, there’s no downtime. We’re always on our toes, pushing for the best outcomes for passengers—it’s an exciting and dynamic place to be.”
This partnership marks another milestone in a thriving collaboration. As we look ahead, we’re excited to continue driving innovation, enhancing efficiency, and delivering world-class service at Melbourne Airport. Here’s to many more years of success together!
