Today, 1 December, is a landmark for the Facilities Management industry as Mitie and Interserve Facilities Management combine forces. Together, the enhanced Mitie Group creates a business which combines public and private sector expertise with industry-leading technology and sustainability credentials. Mitie is determined to deliver best in class for both its colleagues and customers.
Mitie, one of the UK’s leading facilities, carbon management, and professional services companies, has been named as a supplier on two additional Crown Commercial Service (CCS) agreements. Mitie is now a supplier on both the Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Solutions (VCIS) and the Heat Networks and Electricity Generation Assets (HELGA) agreements.
Mitie has been awarded a new integrated facilities management (IFM) contract with Magnox Ltd, which manages one of the largest nuclear reactor decommissioning programmes in Europe. The contract is worth £56 million over five years and has the option to extend for a further five years.
While next week, commencing 16 November, should have marked the launch of COP26 in Glasgow, its postponement to 2021 hasn’t prevented businesses from focusing on reaching their sustainability targets. For those organisations looking to build back greener, Mitie has launched its new step-by-step guide to reaching net zero carbon emissions, the Plan Zero Playbook.
Mitie has won a new three-year contract to provide maintenance and security services for Bravissimo, the lingerie and swimwear retailer. The new partnership, which started on 23 October 2020, sees Mitie delivering security, repair and maintenance services for all 28 Bravissimo sites in the UK, including its 26 retail stores, as well as its head office and warehouse in Warwickshire.
Mitie, one of the UK’s leading facilities management and professional services companies, has been awarded the Procurement Excellence Programme certification by the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (CIPS) at standard level, demonstrating its commitment to maintaining a responsible, sustainable and professionally-managed supply chain. This is the most prestigious accreditation available from a global procurement professional body to procurement teams, with only around 350 companies in the world having achieved certification.
Mitie has won the “Big Data/IoT Project of the Year” category of the Digital Technology Leaders Award for its Mozaic analytics portal. This new award is Mitie’s fifth IT recognition in just four months, consolidating Mitie’s sector leading position in technology-enabled facilities management.
Mitie has been crowned ‘Green Fleet of the Year’ at the Business Car Awards 2020, during a virtual ceremony held on 22 October 2020. Mitie was named the winner in recognition of its ambitious and business-leading electric vehicle (EV) rollout and commitment to switch its entire fleet1 to zero emission by 2025. Business Car is the UK’s largest fleet magazine, with its annual awards highlighting the UK’s best business fleets, company vehicles and individuals leading the industry.
Mitie, the leading facilities management and professional services company, has launched its 2020 Social Value Report, setting new industry-leading targets for the business over the next five years. As well as detailed objectives, the report shares key achievements over the past 12 months for each of the five pillars of Mitie’s Social Value Strategy: Employment, Responsibility, Community and Environment, all of which are underpinned by Innovation.
Mitie has achieved a landmark moment in its electric vehicle (EV) strategy, having passed its target of switching 20% of its cars and small vans to electric. Mitie now has over 750 EVs, well above its 20% by 2020 target of 717 zero emission vehicles. The 717th EV, a Kia e-Niro, was delivered to the Mobile Engineering team three months ahead of the 2020 deadline and just 15 months after Mitie’s first-ever EV joined the fleet. On average, Mitie is now adding 75 new electric cars and vans to its fleet every month.
