At DMT Facilities, we believe our people are what make the difference.
Behind every completed job, every invoice, every client update, and every successful project is a team of dedicated individuals working together to deliver the high standards we’re known for.
That’s why we’re launching our new Meet the Team series. Every week, we’ll introduce a different member of the DMT Facilities family, giving you an insight into the people who keep our business moving.
We’re kicking things off with Kelly Copperwaite, our Finance Manager.
Meet Kelly
Kelly has been part of the DMT Facilities team for 2.5 years and is based in France.
As Finance Manager, Kelly plays a key role in keeping the business organised and running smoothly. While many people think finance is all about numbers, Kelly’s role involves much more than that.
When asked what a typical day looks like, her answer perfectly sums up the variety of her role:
“Invoicing / Adding invoices to system / Keeping up to date with the inbox / searching for suitable tenders / many ad-hoc items – No day is the same, which I love. 😊”
That variety is one of the things Kelly enjoys most about working at DMT Facilities. No two days are ever the same, and there is always a new challenge to tackle.
The Most Rewarding Part of the Role
For Kelly, feeling valued is one of the most rewarding aspects of working at DMT Facilities.
When asked what she enjoys most about her role, she said:
“I really appreciate it when my opinion is considered.”
At DMT, we believe good ideas can come from anywhere within the business. Every member of the team has a voice, and Kelly’s answer reflects the culture we’re proud to have built.
Learning and Development
Continuous learning is important in facilities management, regardless of your role.
Since joining DMT Facilities, Kelly has enjoyed developing her knowledge and learning new systems.
“I have enjoyed learning some new systems like Connecteam.”
As the business continues to grow, embracing new technology helps us improve communication, efficiency, and service delivery across the company.
What Makes DMT Facilities Different?
When we asked Kelly what makes DMT Facilities different from other companies she has worked for, her answer focused on something we hear time and time again — the people.
“Mostly the people, I loved my previous employed job, too so it’s hard to compare, but I feel appreciated, which is nice.”
Being appreciated, supported, and recognised for your contribution is something we believe should be part of every workplace. We’re pleased that Kelly feels exactly that.
The Best Part About the Team
One of the strengths of DMT Facilities is our close-knit culture.
When asked what she enjoys most about working with the team, Kelly said:
“I love all of the team, I love that its fairly relaxed too..”
While we take our work seriously, we also believe that people perform at their best when they enjoy what they do and feel comfortable being themselves.
If Kelly Ran DMT for a Day…
Every Meet the Team feature needs a fun question.
If Kelly could swap jobs with anyone in the business for a day, she would choose Managing Director David Marguet-Turner.
“David probably, I like overcoming problems, and I would definitely put the prices up 😉 however I would love the challenge that Dave has also… If I didn’t live in France, I would love to be more involved with clients and suppliers maybe..”
We’re not sure everyone would agree with the price rises, but we appreciate the honesty!
Three Words That Describe DMT Facilities
When asked to describe DMT Facilities in just three words, Kelly chose:
Excellent. Family. Values.
We couldn’t have put it better ourselves.
As a family-run facilities management company, those values sit at the heart of everything we do — from how we support our clients to how we support each other.
The Most Unusual Thing Kelly Has Seen at Work
Facilities management often comes with unexpected situations, but Kelly’s most unusual experience actually happened before joining DMT Facilities.
“Nothing to strange I don’t think at DMT, however, my previous job took me to a property where they played darts with heroin needles..”
That’s certainly not something you hear every day!
Thank You, Kelly
We’re incredibly grateful for everything Kelly contributes to DMT Facilities.
Her dedication, attention to detail, and willingness to support colleagues across the business make her an important part of the team.
We hope you’ve enjoyed getting to know Kelly a little better.
Keep an eye on our website and social media channels as our Meet the Team series continues, with another member of the DMT Facilities family being introduced next week.
