Mike Gibson, managing director of local government, education and healthcare at Mitie, said: “We’re proud to be working with CLCH to deliver facilities management and catering services that make a real difference to staff, patients, and visitors across London and Hertfordshire.
“Our teams will be supporting NHS services by keeping clinics and community centres clean and safe, to providing nutritious meals and ensuring buildings run smoothly, so frontline NHS staff can focus on patient care.
“We’re also committed to making a positive impact beyond day-to-day operations, from introducing electric vehicles and sustainable cleaning products to supporting local communities by creating jobs in the community and providing work experience placements.”
