ABM has expanded its contract with London Fire Brigade (LFB), underlining the Brigade’s confidence in ABM as a trusted partner in supporting critical public sector services across the capital.
The existing LFB North operation – which runs across 51 stations for the north region of LFB’s estate delivering a comprehensive suite of mechanical and engineering, plumbing, fabric and specialist trade services, including HVAC, critical systems, building management and fuel delivery systems – has been expanded from this month to cover more sites in the south region. This includes LFB’s headquarters, its operational support centre and 999 call centre.
ABM has held the LFB North contract since January 2023. Since then, the team has strengthened service delivery by ensuring operational efficiencies, raising on-site performance standards and embedding a culture of continuous improvement which has been instrumental in driving the expansion of the partnership.
Claire Page, Head of Property at London Fire Brigade, said: “Ensuring our buildings and critical systems are reliable and resilient is essential to supporting our firefighters and teams as they serve Londoners. The work delivered to date clearly demonstrates the technical capability, rapid responsiveness and deep understanding of our operational environment required to support the wider estate.”
Richard Sykes, SVP and President of ABM UK and Ireland, said: “We are delighted to be growing our partnership with LFB. Expanding this contract reflects the trust built through consistent delivery, strong collaboration and a deep understanding of the critical nature of London Fire Brigade operations. This is an important milestone for ABM and creates a strong foundation for a long-term partnership.”
