Comserve Limited, the mechanical and electrical (M&E) maintenance and installation services arm of Incentive FM Group, has won a three-year contract to provide services to Allied Irish Bank (AIB) at 22 of its sites across the UK.

This involves both office buildings and high street branches to ensure a comfortable environment for employees and customers.

Under the terms of the deal, awarded by property agent, McBains Cooper, Comserve will be responsible for all heating, air conditioning and lighting equipment across the sites, in addition to undertaking minor fabrication repair and refurbishment.

Comserve’s 70-strong mobile engineering team will provide a full planned maintenance programme including all statutory testing and inspections. Additionally, Comserve will provide a 24/7, 365 emergency call-out service with pre-agreed response times to support the demands of AIB’s stakeholders and customers.

All work will be undertaken by Comserve’s mobile multi-skilled engineers together with a small selection of specialist suppliers to deliver “high levels of efficiency and where work needs to be undertaken during working hours”.

Incentive acquired Comserve in August 2015, in a move Incentive said would enable the group to bring M&E services into its established portfolio.

In June this year, Incentive also acquired ACE Environmental Engineering Limited, an HVAC design, installation and maintenance company.
