London-based Stadium Support Services, which specialises in reactive maintenance, cleaning, and rope access, has renewed its cleaning contract with Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre for a further two years.
Known for delivering world-class events such as the British Motor Show, Screwfix Live, and the Farnborough International Airshow, the venue also offers dynamic, purpose-built facilities and spaces for a wide range of film productions.
The new deal sees the renewed development of their partnership, where Stadium Support Services will continue to provide the ongoing core cleaning services within the unique 12,000 sq. m exhibition space.
The agreement builds upon the previous contract to provide ongoing deep cleaning services to the extensive site, adding extended event cleaning management services to the scope.
Commenting on the new contract award, Scott Hudson, Operations Director at Stadium Support Services, said: “I am thrilled that such an important customer has once again recognised Stadium Support Services as the best solution provider for its specialist cleaning requirements. The new agreement is a testament to the excellent work performed by our team and, is a huge vote of confidence for our growing business. We are excited to drive forward to the next phase, delivering exemplary cleaning services to a valued customer.”
Chris Dillon, Head of Venue Operations at Farnborough International Ltd, added:“Farnborough International prides itself on working with industry-leading, like-minded suppliers and partners across our operations. As a host of more than 60 events per year and counting, it’s imperative that we maintain the highest level of cleanliness in the most efficient manner. It has been fantastic to work with Stadium Support Services on our extensive cleaning operation, and I look forward to strengthening our partnership over the next two years.”
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.
