MITIE receives Dacorum Community Award

MITIE has been awarded a Certificate of Appreciation by Connect Dacorum and Dacorum Community Trust in recognition for their outstanding contribution to the local community. 

The certificate, signed by the Mayor of Dacorum, Councillor Stephen Holmes, was presented to MITIE’s Partnering Manager, Richard Bartram by Dacorum Project Manager Jeoff Colls. 

Jeoff Colls commented, ‘The work that MITIE has done with DEN`s, a local homeless charity has been exceptional. This recognition has been achieved through MITIE`s involvement with DENS over the last year. We want to encourage more local businesses to improve their community activities and hopefully we have demonstrated how successful partnerships can achieve this.” 

Richard Bartram says, ‘At MITIE we pride ourselves in putting back in to communities that we work in. We believe effective improvement has to go on long after the workforce has left and the paint is dry. It’s not just about the interiors of the homes we work in, it’s all to do with the local communities and we believe in making people proud of their neighbourhoods.’

Notes for editors

What is MITIE?
We’re the strategic outsourcing and asset management company.

What does that mean in practice? Providing everything from strategic consultancy, to world-class delivery on the ground. From long-term infrastructure planning, to facilities management, property and engineering services. Our strategic input can add value at the highest level, while our practical management expertise can save customers money and maximise their returns.

At the same time, it’s not just what we do, but how we do it that makes us different. Our people are passionate about what they do, committed to working in partnership with their clients, and will always look for a fresh answer to a new challenge.

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

Strategy and consultancy

+ Facilities and project management

+ Service delivery

In other words, we think, we manage, and we deliver.

The thinking phase is all about finding strategic answers to long-term challenges about assets and resources. Facilities and project management puts those plans in place, and our unrivalled range of services is one of the best in the business.

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 54,000 people, revenues in excess of £1.7bn, and a reputation for being the best.
