Salisbury Group, the facilities management (FM) company, has won a major contract with the University of London.

The University of London was established by Royal Charter in 1836 for the public benefit and is recognised globally. As a world leader in higher education, it has pioneered change in the sector and improved the lives of millions of people around the world through its unique approach to education.

Through the contract, Salisbury Group will deliver planned preventative maintenance, reactive maintenance and project and lifecycle engineering infrastructure projects.

Furthermore, to support the University of London's low carbon emission and sustainability objectives, including its ambitious goals of becoming a net zero carbon institution by 2036, the company will also produce a sustainable programme that aims to invest in the most environmentally efficient ways to deliver FM services. This will include a fleet of eco-friendly vehicles to transport its specialist engineers around the various sites.

Andrew Lunt, Group Managing Director of Salisbury Group said:

"We are delighted to be working with a very prestigious institution. Winning this contract shows our FM and engineering expertise as well as our ability to offer a solution which reflects the ambitious objectives of the University of London. We will be working hard to build a partnership ethos based on first-class customer service and great workplace experiences for employees, students and visitors alike."
