Atlas Wins Hard Services Contract With British Red Cross

Atlas has won a five-year contract to provide planned and reactive engineering maintenance services for the British Red Cross across the UK.

The contract encompasses 450 locations in mainland UK and 13 islands such as Shetland, Jersey and Guernsey. Sites include retail units, operations hubs and fundraising centres.

Atlas already provides cleaning, housekeeping, and security services for several British Red Cross locations, including its national headquarters in Moorgate, London, and will now expand its role. Under a separate agreement, Atlas will begin delivering hard facilities management (FM) services, enabling the charity to focus more effectively on its core humanitarian efforts.

Andrew Lunt, Managing Director of Atlas Workplace Services,  said: “I am delighted that we have won this contract with the British Red Cross, an important and renowned organisation. We understand the mission-critical humanitarian work the charity delivers and we will support them by maintaining a safe and compliant estate. We have already been working closely with them as we mobilise the new contract and we look forward to continuing a positive partnership for years to come.”

Andy Martin, British Red Cross Head of Property, added:“Our staff and volunteers work incredibly hard to support those in crisis across the UK and around the world. It’s important that our offices and charity shops are properly looked after, so that our people, those we support and our shop customers, can come into a safe, clean environment. One of the key considerations for us was to select a company which we think will be a great fit with our ethos, with a strong track record of facilities management. We’re delighted to continue to work with Atlas.”
