MITIE, the strategic outsourcing and asset management company, has recently won a BALI Landscape Award for its grounds maintenance for a major high street bank. 

The British Association of Landscape Industries awards are an annual event in the landscaping industry to recognise exceptionally high standards of professionalism and skill in the execution of a wide variety of landscaped schemes. The awards cover a wide range of categories to ensure that every part of the landscaping industry is recognised, from the individual designer and domestic contractor to the largest multi-location company working in the commercial arena. 

This year MITIE has won an award in the multi-site category and will attend an awards ceremony on 4 December 2009 at the prestigious Grosvenor House Hotel in London to find out if it has also won the overall award in its category. 

BALI is the UK representative trade association body for firms undertaking exterior and interior landscaping. BALI is all about quality standards, developing skills, raising awareness and rewarding excellence. To join BALI applicants undergo an intensive quality audit involving interviews, site visits and use of references. 

Larry Jones, Director of MITIE’s landscaping business said: “We’re delighted to be an award winner in the multi-site category. We have worked hard to look after the grounds for all our clients’ sites and look forward to the ceremony in December to see if we are the overall winner for the category.”

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 50,000+ people, revenues in excess of £1.5bn, and a reputation for being the best.
