Around 650 Mitie colleagues now work on the contract. As well as its significant experience supporting the Consortium and delivering services that comply with strict nuclear regulation, Mitie’s social value commitments were also key to its successful retender. In line with Mitie’s commitment to support the development of future talent through apprenticeships, the business has also committed to upskill at least 30 colleagues a year via an apprenticeship, as well as support 20 apprentices within Mitie’s supply chain and wider business. The Mitie team will also provide a number of work experience opportunities for young people in the local community Mitie will also make significant investment in initiatives to support the local community, such as offering local entrepreneurs an opportunity to pitch for investment through a ‘Dragon’s Den’ style competition, as well managing a ‘Leader to Leader’ mentoring programme for up to 20 leaders of local SMEs and voluntary, community, social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. Carlo Alloni, Managing Director, Technical Services and Integrated Facilities Management, Mitie, said: “We are very proud to continue our relationship with the Cumbria Consortium and Sellafield Ltd.

High quality, value-for-money facilities management services are crucial to the safe and secure delivery of operations across our sites. This was particularly important during the COVID-19 pandemic when Mitie colleagues responded magnificently. I’d like to thank them all for their hard work, professionalism, and dedication during an incredibly testing time for all of us. We look forward to working with Mitie to deliver our purpose of creating a clean and safe environment for future generations.” Read next Press Release 12 November 2020 Mitie launches five step guide to net zero with Plan Zero Playbook Mitie has launched the Plan Zero Playbook, a step-by-step guide to reaching net zero carbon emissions Read More Report 2 February 2020 Digital Transformation: is Facilities Management ready?
