MITIE with PwC win PFM Award

MITIE, the strategic outsourcing company, is celebrating with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) after winning the category ‘Partners in Expert Services’ at this year’s PFM Awards. The Awards dinner took place on 3 November at The Brewery in central London. 

The PFM Awards is one of the most prestigious events in the facilities management sector. They recognise best practice in partnering in facilities management and support services between service suppliers and their clients, as well as the skills and enterprise of people engaged in this sector.

MITIE has been working with PwC to supply document management services since 2006. From the outset there has been a strong focus on providing expert services and working in partnership. The contract has grown since the initial contract award to meet business requirements, providing cost savings and service enhancements. 

Both companies have worked together to design and develop a strategic print strategy that included bringing in Multi Functional Devices - print, scanning, photocopying and faxing- and a digital print solution which saw MITIE investing in an iGen4 digital press. 

Lorraine Barnet, Managing Director of MITIE Business Services, said: “Over the last four years we’ve worked closely with PwC to really understand their business needs. I am so pleased of this accolade and look forward to building on our strong partnership.”

Notes for editors

What is MITIE?
We’re the strategic outsourcing company. What does that mean in practice? We manage facilities, properties and assets for our clients across the UK and beyond.

We work with our clients in three ways; some take full advantage of our whole range of expertise, others may only need one aspect of what we do:

Strategy and consultancy
+ Facilities and project management
+ Service delivery

Our strategic input can add value at the highest level by helping clients to manage their assets, while our practical management expertise can save customers money and reduce their carbon emissions. We work with a vast number of clients in every industry across both the public and private sectors and deliver the broadest range of services that can be found in one place: from integrated facilities management to engineering maintenance to lifecycle energy management and much more.

There’s a lot more to MITIE than you probably think. We’re a big company with big ambitions – a leading FTSE 250 support services business, with more than 56,000 people, revenues in excess of £1.7bn, and a reputation for being the best.
