New MITIE business makes for more efficient and sustainable buildings

MITIE, the strategic outsourcing and energy services company has launched a new business called Built Environment. 

Following research within the industry, MITIE have recognised the strategic opportunity to provide a combined mechanical & electrical and interior fit out service. Coupled with its complimentary Group offerings of technical and soft Facilities Management, MITIE provides advice and accountability around the customer’s need to comply with energy legislation. 

Making buildings work more efficiently and reducing their carbon footprint is core to this new offer. This integrated service will provide clients with a fully integrated consult and build solution giving them assurance of costs, programme and operational certainty. 

Danny Leonard, managing director of the new Built Environment said: “Working as we do in the refurbishment and fit out sector, it has become very clear that more transparency and communication in the process can lead to financial and programme benefits for our clients. 

Early involvement of MITIE’s combined expertise can lead to buildings that work more efficiently and are more sustainable. Retrofitting older buildings to make them low carbon and more energy efficient is one of our core skills.” 

MITIE will continue to offer a standalone Interior fit out and Mechanical and Electrical engineering services.

We’re the strategic outsourcing and asset management company.

What does that mean in practice? We manage facilities, energy and properties 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

+ 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 61,000 people, revenues of £1.9bn, and a reputation for being the best.
