A Message From Our Founders
At Distinct, we don’t just provide services; we craft
experiences. Our commitment to excellence is more than a
promise; it’s a daily practice. From our meticulous cleaning
protocols to our avant-garde sustainability initiatives,
every aspect of what we do is infused with our passion for
perfection.
We, Darren Dickinson and Craig Godwin, founded Distinct
with a shared dream: to revolutionise the realm of facilities
management. Our journey began with a simple yet powerful
idea - to create spaces that aren’t just maintained but are
thoughtfully cared for, spaces that reflect the prestige and
values of those who inhabit them.
Welcome to Distinct, where our vision of facilities
management goes beyond mere service - it’s an experience
tailored to the highest standards of luxury and sustainability.
We invite you on this journey with us, to redefine facilities
management, to make it an integral and seamless part of
your brand experience. Together, we’ll set new benchmarks,
not just in cleanliness and sustainability, but in creating
environments that inspire, motivate, and resonate with every
individual who walks through your doors.
We are proud to say that Distinct has rapidly evolved into
more than just a facilities management company - we are a
symbol of innovation and excellence in an industry that is the
backbone of any successful enterprise.
Thank you for considering Distinct as your partner in this
journey. We look forward to creating exceptional experiences
together.

In 2018, we dared to diversify, stepping
confidently into the commercial and
office sectors. This leap was more than
growth—it was a pledge to innovate and
adapt, ushering in a new era of facilities
management.
In 2013, Distinct burst onto the scene,
fueled by a bold ambition to marry luxury
with
sustainability
in
facilities
management. A venture born
from
passion, setting the stage for a revolution.
As the world faced unprecedented
challenges in 2021, we focused on laying
the groundwork for global ambitions. Dubai
was on the horizon, and we were ready,
bolstering our team and processes for the
leap international.
By 2014, we clinched a game-changing
contract with Giorgio Armani. This wasn’t
just a win; it was our grand entrance into the
world of high-end retail, proving that luxury
and eco-consciousness can go hand-in-
hand.
Our story is one of passion, innovation, and unwavering commitment to redefining facilities management. Founded with a vision
to elevate service standards in the industry, we have carved a niche as pioneers in luxury facilities management.
In 2022, Distinct unveiled cutting-edge
contract management software with
geo-location tracking, simplifying finance
processes for clients and suppliers, and
improving staff communication, ensuring
seamless operations and team connectivity.
2015 was a year of transformation, as we
turned our core values into action. Shifting
to a fully electric fleet and championing fair
wages, we showed that caring for our
planet and people is not just a statement—
it’s our way of life.
Our journey took us across the UK’s luxury
landscape by 2017. Every step forward was
a testament to our relentless pursuit of
excellence, as we redefined spaces with
our bespoke, sustainable services.
The dream became a reality in 2024, as we
made our mark in Dubai, bringing a decade
of British excellence to the UAE. This was
not just an expansion; it was a statement of
our global vision, celebrating a future
where luxury, sustainability, and innovation
converge.
