David Scholey, Deputy Director of Facilities management at the Environment Agency, said: “We’ve established strong relationships with Interserve over the past three years. The smooth running of our estate is critical to day-to-day operations – to have continuity of service for a further two years is great news for the Agency.”

Together with our existing clients and supply chain, we have sought to balance the complex needs of the sector with the provision of consistent and capable supply side teams that can help the NHS drive efficiency in its capital resource allocation.
