City Wide Opens New Territory Serving the Greater Chicagoland Area

Local Entrepreneur Launches Building Maintenance Management Company

 

CHICAGO  – Building maintenance in the Greater Chicagoland area is about to be redefined.

City Wide, America’s premier building maintenance Management Company, today announced the opening of a new office serving commercial properties throughout Illinois. Local building owners and property management companies now have access to a single-source solution for all of their building maintenance needs.

“The bottom line is that commercial property owners and property management companies need our help,” said Jim Hughes, president of City Wide of Illinois. “Our clients appreciate that we remove their daily building maintenance obstacles by providing solutions that allow them to focus on their core business. Our services are tailored to fit the needs of our clients’ buildings, tenants and budgets. This includes everything from routine maintenance to seasonal upkeep. That is why we are the best in the business.”

City Wide has made a name for itself in major U.S. cities by streamlining commercial facilities and maintenance management of more than 20 services through a collection of service providers and alliance partners, including floor care, window washing, janitorial supplies, parking lot maintenance and several others. Taking the onus off building owners and property management companies that typically have to choose separate companies for each task, City Wide eases the selection and management processes for its clients.

“Building owners and management teams have an incredible amount of responsibility on their plate. City Wide sits on the same side of the table as our clients. We’re the experts in property services who take away the stress of the daily minutiae of maintaining their property, and we do it in a professional manner,” explains Hughes. “We become an extension of our client’s management team to ensure every job goes above and beyond expectations and allows them to stay within their budget.”

Prior to launching City Wide of Illinois, Hughes built a successful career in the financial services industry that spanned more than two decades. Holding top executive level positions with American National Bank, TCF Bank, National City, PNC Bank and the Bank Administration Institute, Hughes made a name for himself in the retail banking and small business banking industries. He hopes to leverage his extensive experience in sales and customer service to achieve success in his new role with City Wide.

Beyond the loyalty it builds with clients, City Wide plays an important role within the local economies it serves by putting business back into the community. Smaller, independent and locally owned maintenance companies pair up with City Wide, benefitting from the professional demeanor City Wide brings to the table with its clients.
