Coretex – a brief history
Coretex International was founded in 2007 by Gordon Parker. The company was formed through a management buy-out of the Real Estate and Facility Management consulting and training division of Strategic Direction, which was established in 1991.
We help clients understand their challenges, think ahead, plan and achieve a better future. That means helping them manage risks, build capability and improve performance across their real estate and facilities functions.
- We engage to understand and explore. Listening is more important than telling in this phase.
- We capture the requirement, our analysis and proposals in a format that works for the client; reports and presentations suited to the audience.
- We have a reputation for telling clients what they NEED to know, rather than what they WANT to hear.
- We build momentum for change management within the client organisation utilising excellent, proven processes and highly competent consultants.
- An important part of our business success is that our clients refer us to other clients in similar challenging situations.
Coretex delivers services direct to end user clients. We use the best resources available in the marketplace to support our consulting team (see also the Coretex Consortium, below).
The Coretex Consortium
In 2019, Coretex International formed the Coretex Consortium in response to a major client opportunity. The Consortium is a formal alliance of six consultancy companies. Together they provide a broad base of experience, capability and quality, giving clients strength in depth and good management of risk.
Coretex International Limited is the Consortium Lead. We develop solutions, integrate services and contract with clients for each project. The most suitable person from across the Consortium is selected as technical lead for each project. Coretex retains oversight on behalf of the client and the Consortium.
Each partner brings a specialism and complementary skills, which allows the partners to work together as allies on assignments.
Example project services delivered by the consortium include:
- Campus Vision
- Estate strategy/ financial modelling
- Business case development
- Estate analysis tool
- Global performance assurance benchmarking
- Benchmarking Strategy, process and best practice model
- Service Quality review and KPI model development
