BONA LAUNCHES RESILIENT SOLUTION COLOUR COLLECTION
Bona, an innovative floor care and maintenance solutions provider, has announced the launch of the new Bona Resilient Solution Colour Collection.
Based on the science of colour psychology, the new collection is inspired by nature and designed to transform interior spaces into a welcoming environment that promotes well-being and productivity. The collection consists of five colour groups and 15 earthbound hues that work in tandem with the Bona Resilient System – Bona’s innovative system to restore, renew and upgrade resilient floors.
The Bona Resilient Solution Colour Collection was developed in collaboration with Dr. Axel Buether, a pioneer in modern evidence-based colour psychology. Drawing from real-life contexts, Dr. Buether’s research shows that by incorporating natural elements into interior spaces – such as the floor – colour can profoundly enhance well- being and improve physical health.
“Nature has long been associated with healing and well-being. The Bona Colour Collection goes beyond pure aesthetics and creates
MITIE AGREES NEW CONTRACT EXTENSION
WITH THALES UK Mitie has secured a seven-year contract extension with Thales UK worth £17m per annum.
Building on its existing 10-year partnership, the new contract, will see Mitie providing integrated facilities management services, including energy management, cleaning, security, landscaping, catering and waste management at 16 Thales sites across the UK and Ireland, including its headquarters in Reading.

environments that promote health in every way," said Dr. Buether.
Findings reveal that the careful choice of colour in offices and interior spaces may have important benefits to an organisation by improving the experience and behaviour of people. Dr. Buether’s research has showed that when using natural colours as a design tool, identification with the workplace grew with more than 50% among the entire staff, while also improving the rating of the working environment by up to 40%.
Michael Klinge, Product Manager at Bona, said: “Given that the floor is the largest surface in a building (aside from walls) it makes sense
Thales UK estate. By remotely monitoring occupancy data and usage of building equipment, such as heating and ventilation systems and lighting, Mitie’s analysts will be able to identify opportunities to reduce energy use in line with demand. Monitoring real-time data on the performance of building equipment will also enable Mitie’s engineers to detect maintenance requirements before issues arise, preventing downtime and ensuring the smooth running of building systems across the estate.
Russell Norton, UK Real Estate Director, Thales UK said: “Mitie remain a key strategic partner and this new contract is the result of a lot of hard work in not only identifying what we, Thales, want
to consciously choose colours that embody the expression of a facility. Our collaboration with Dr. Buether has given us another avenue for our customers to revitalie floors that are not only durable, beautiful and long- lasting but also scientifically proven to improve overall well-being.”
To simplify the colour selection process, Bona updated its Floor Visualiser tool which allows users to take a photo of a space to test colour and chip combinations quickly and easily. The Visualiser also facilitates narrowing down a colour selection, helping floor owners decide on the best floor colour and thereby making the process of floor renewal easier.

but also utilising the range of digital services Mitie can offer. It will support a move to a new ‘digital FM platform’ that is focused on the key operations of the business across the UK.”
Dan Guest, Managing Director, Technical Services, Mitie, said: “We’re proud to support Thales – a key supplier to some of the UK’s most critical industries. This contract extension is testament to the strong partnership we’ve built with Thales over the past 10 years. We look forward to bringing even more innovative technology to the contract to generate valuable insights on building performance, while at the same time driving efficiencies.”
