Jaguar Building Services has won the mechanical and electrical maintenance services contract at Spitalfields Estate.
Located within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets in the East End of the city, the district, is well known for its markets, which include Spitalfields Market, the historic Old Spitalfields Market, Brick Lane Market and Petticoat Lane Market, and also offers an array of restaurants, street food, shops and boutiques. Events are also common in the community areas, such as regular choir meetings, dance lessons and food tastings which are all helping to bring local people in the area together.
Sid Newbon, Business Unit Head at Jaguar said: “Mobilisation at Spitalfields is now complete and went smoothly. It’s fantastic to be a part of this development, and watch the area thrive. We look forward to the year ahead, and to delivering a first-class engineer led service for our customers at Spitalfields.”
With the current economic crisis resulting in higher prices and more of a squeeze on resources, FMs need to ensure that they have robust building and maintenance services in place to control costs and reduce the need for emergency repairs. When it comes to drainage and plumbing there are also the challenges of dealing with extreme weather, from droughts to flooding, the need to meet stringent regulations and to avoid causing environmental damage.
UK drainage specialist, Metro Rod, has launched a survey which explores the main areas of interest for FMs in maintaining drainage and plumbing, including how they currently assess their supply chains to ensure they’re working with partners that meet the highest possible standards and provide value for money.
The results will be published online so that you can see how you compare to others within the sector.
The survey should take just 5-10 minutes of your time, and as a thank you, you will be entered into a prize draw, where one lucky winner will be picked at random to receive a £100 Amazon voucher.
