SGP wins £10m contract
SGP Property & Facilities Management, the Leicester-based facilities management division of Johnson Services Group, has won a £10m deal with Johnston Press.
The contract, initially signed for three years, is to provide a range of facilities management services to 185 properties in the UK and Ireland.
A total of 130 Johnston Press employees in roles such as security, catering, cleaning, buildings maintenance, fire safety management and grounds maintenance will transfer to SGP under the terms of the contract.
Kevin Elliott, managing director of SGP, said: "We continue to strengthen our presence across the corporate, retail, hospitality, healthcare and education sectors.
"SGP combines management expertise with an extensive service partner network to offer clients an alternative approach to the self delivery model that is prevalent across the FM industry.
"We assist clients through the outsourcing process to help them make the right choices for their organisation, not the choice that suits us."
