MITIE will have responsibility for delivering a range of services including fabric maintenance, engineering maintenance, energy management, catering, security, cleaning, mail room & couriers, helpdesk, switchboard, shuttle buses, grounds maintenance and internal landscaping.

MITIE also recently completed a project to build an on-site wind turbine at Sky’s new broadcast facility, Sky Studios, in Osterley, West London. The most sustainable broadcast facility of its type in Europe, the turbine will provide over 133 MWh per annum of clean energy to the studios.

MITIE was awarded the contract based on its innovative ideas, self-delivery capabilities and cultural approach.

Ruby McGregor-Smith CBE, Chief Executive of MITIE Group PLC, said: "We are delighted to be working with Sky and look forward to creating what will be a truly collaborative partnership.

"Sky is a dynamic company and MITIE will ensure the FM strategy brings the highest quality services, value and innovation to its business."
