Arcus and Aktrion partner to deliver cleaning in Scotland

5 August 2016 | Herpreet Kaur Grewal

Hard FM service provider Arcus is to work with the Aktrion Group to offer cleaning services throughout Scotland through a new joint venture, ‘Arcus Cleaning Services’.

 

The venture represents the first venture into the soft services market for Arcus, which recently secured a ten-year contract with Sainsbury’s to provide M&E, refrigeration, lighting, drainage, building fabric and other self-delivered services to the retail giant’s supermarkets, convenience stores, petrol filling stations, depots and store support centres. 

Sainsbury’s has since awarded a cleaning contract to Arcus for its Scottish stores which will see around 250 cleaners transfer to the Aktrion-Arcus partnership. The companies aim to work together to “transform the traditional perception of cleaning services, linking it with activities that technicians and engineers carry out”.
