Facilities Services Group Secures Swinton Deal

National property maintenance provider Facilities Services Group (FSG) has secured a major new service contract with Swinton Insurance, the UK’s largest high street insurance broker.

FSG is carrying out reactive maintenance and minor works at two of the insurer’s corporate offices, as well as 300 retail sites across England and Wales.

From its head office in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, FSG provides a national service including reactive maintenance, compliance and managed services solutions.

Delivery is achieved through FSG’s 250 directly employed tradespeople and backed up by 20 field service managers – with a strong focus on technology to deliver a prompt and efficient service.

Mark Coates, Purchasing Manager at Swinton Insurance, said: “We awarded the contract to FSG based on factors including costings, the quality of references and the fact they have both the people and the commitment to drive the account forward.

“Their financial stability, industry experience and the quality of portal and Management Information reporting were also important to us.”

George Lilley, FSG’s Managing Director, said: This is a significant contract for us, and it reflects our ability to deliver a consistent, quality-led service nationwide, which is responsive to client needs.”

FSG specialises in integrated facilities management services across the retail, leisure and property sectors and was formed as a brand in 2008 through the merger of leading retail and leisure companies including Circle Britannia, Serviceline and Atlanta Facilities.
