Two New Big Name Contracts For Mitie
Mitie has had cause for celebration in recent weeks, with the acquisition of two high profile contracts from the banking world.
The first of which is the extension of its contract with Edinburgh-based Standard Life, the savings and investment company.
The renewed contract, which follows a competitive tender process, will see Mitie’s Environmental+ team of more than 80 people deliver services across the Standard Life headquarters and properties in Edinburgh.
Services to be delivered under the contract will include cleaning, gritting, landscaping, pest control and window cleaning, while Mitie’s catering business, Gather & Gather, will also be providing catering.
Mitie’s Environmental+ team is the largest cleaning provider in Scotland and delivers specialist cleaning services to a range of private and public sector organisations.
Ruby McGregor-Smith CBE, Chief Executive of Mitie said: “We have built a successful partnership with Standard Life over the past eight years and are delighted to have the opportunity to develop this further and bring new initiatives to the contract.”
Laraine McBean, Director for Mitie’s Environmental+ business in Scotland added: “This contract is a testament to the skills and capabilities of our local team who are committed to providing a world-class service for Standard Life.”
The second big name contract comes in the form of a three-year deal with Santander.
SpaceVac Go Back To School
SpaceVac has gone back to school after a Hertfordshire secondary school utilised their services to clean their hard to reach gutters.
Hitchin Girls’ School (HGS) continuously monitors its maintenance costs and their value for money, and gutter and high level indoor cleaning had become particularly expensive, as each task required scaffolding totalling more than £5,000 every two years. Gutter cleaning is an essential annual task but budgets only enabled it every 2-3 years.
The result was blocked gutters and downpipes which regularly overflowed, causing dampness to the brickwork and expensive rectification.
Tony Hankin, HGS’s Director of Finance and Resources, bought a SpaceVac high level vacuum powered cleaning system to enable annual cleaning of the gutters (four storeys high) and high ledges in the gym.

He said: “The SpaceVac system is an obvious solution – we bought the kit and many accessories including some tools specially made for our needs. This package was less than the cost of a one week’s scaffolding hire. We can clean high level beams and gutters when required and not only when budgets allow. There are now no damp walls to repair and we have this kit for life, saving £2,500 per year on scaffolding.”
SpaceVac provided a free demonstration and after sales staff training, so the school can now put high level cleaning on the monthly maintenance schedule.
The school is in a Conservation Area with more than half of the property inaccessible by cherry pickers, and scaffolding is impossible in some areas – now everywhere, inside and out, is constantly maintained in top condition and cleaned as often as is required with no worries about working at heights.

The dedicated Financial Services team of Mitie's Environmental+ business will provide cleaning services to around 1,000 Santander branches and banking centres across the UK. The contract will begin in March 2015 and will see more than 1,000 people transfer across to the company.
Mitie already has a considerable presence on the high street, working with national retail banking brands. And Rob Cattell, Managing Director of Mitie’s Environmental+ business said: “Our team works on virtually every high street in the UK for a variety of brands and really understands the world of retail banking. We are looking forward to working with Santander and welcoming so many new people to the Mitie family.”
