Our primary work stream involves the delivery of grounds maintenance services on behalf of our facility management colleagues in Secure Infrastructure. This work involves all the planned grounds maintenance activities across 70 school sites nationally. These sites are spread over 6 local authority locations, including Borders, Clackmannanshire, Dumfries & Galloway, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Renfrewshire. In addition to planned maintenance, we also deliver winter and responsive works services. The account's other main activity is to deliver internal vegetation management on behalf of NMCSW and NMCNE highways contracts.
