Marsden Services is proud to announce that this year marks the 55th anniversary of our relationship with the Building Service Contractors Association International (BSCAI). Marsden was a founding member of the BSCAI when the organization was established in 1965. The BSCAI was formed out of a need for a professional association for the building service contractors (BSCs) industry. Along with Marsden, several other key contractors became the initial members of the BSCAI, which has now grown to over 1,000 member companies.

The BSCAI provides opportunities for individuals in the BSC industry to connect, share ideas, and gain knowledge. Over the years, the BSCAI has become a key player in providing and coordinating educational opportunities for BSC employees. The BSCAI’s certification programs have been recognized as an industry standard for excellence, including the Registered Building Service Manager (RBSM) and Certified Building Service Executive (CBSE) certification programs. Most of Marsden’s operational leadership is either RBSM or CBSE-certified, and Marsden employees have participated in numerous other BSCAI training, including the new Disinfection and Safety course.

Marsden’s investment in BSCAI education has also come in the form of financial contributions to the BSCAI to sponsor educational programs. In 2015, the BSCAI created the Skip Marsden Education Excellence Award in honor of Marsden’s founder and former CEO, Skip Marsden. The award is given to companies that invest in the education, growth, and development of their employees and promote leaders from within their organizations.

El compromiso de Marsden con el BSCAI ha incluido la participación de nuestro personal al más alto nivel. Dos de los anteriores presidentes de la BSCAI han sido empleados de Marsden; Skip Marsden, y Tom Kruse, Chief Engagement Officer de Marsden. Peter Cain, Director de Operaciones de la División Oeste de Marsden, se unió a la junta de BSCAI en 2021. A lo largo de los últimos 55 años, numerosos empleados de Marsden han sido miembros de la BSCAI y han contribuido al aprendizaje y apoyo entre pares que define a la asociación.

"Este es un logro maravilloso y un testimonio del liderazgo visionario de Skip Marsden", dijo Guy Mingo, director general de Marsden Services. "Un momento de orgullo para nuestra organización".
