The contracts will see Norse providing a variety of facilities management and catering services at the company’s Barnstaple site in North Devon.

The contract award represents Norse Devon’s first major venture into commercial FM services.
Devon Norse Managing Director, Matt Wilby, said: “We’re delighted to be working in partnership with Accord Healthcare on this exciting new contract, ensuring its premises continue to be maintained to the highest standards.
“With a shared commitment to the local community and creating economic opportunities in Devon, we look forward to supporting Accord’s day-to-day operations by delivering outstanding FM and catering services.

“We already have a proven track record of success in this area, working with our joint venture partners at Devon County Council, and we hope to expand on this in future – as we continue to demonstrate how we can deliver a very efficient and effective service that clients can rely on.”
