Mitie has expanded its service offering for BMW Group with a new five-year engineering and energy contract following a competitive tender. The UK’s leading facilities management provider has also secured a five-year extension of its cleaning and landscaping contract with the premium car manufacturer. This double contract win strengthens Mitie’s FM market-leading position in the automotive sector.
