By acquiring Morrison Facilities Services, Apleona is further strengthening its market position in UK and building credible and demonstrable capability.
Michael Engel, Apleona’s COO (pictured above), commented: “This step further strengthens Apleona’s regional presence in Scotland and England within our core competencies of technical and integrated facility management. It also highlights our ambition to become a market leader in the United Kingdom.”
Kevin Woodcock, Managing Director of Morrison Facilities Services said: “Morrison Facilities Services is delighted to join Apleona and now belong to a group that focuses exclusively on technical and integrated facility management. Together we will have the ability to further enhance our service delivery and expand our client portfolio, ensuring strong organic growth.”
Adrian Connor, Managing Director of Apleona UK (pictured left), added: “We are ensuring a smooth transition and warmly welcome our new colleagues from Morrison. We are confident that we can continue to develop and grow this side of business and look forward to getting started!“
This is Apleona’s fourth acquisition in the UK in three years.
