In the UK & Ireland, all of ENGIE's activity in technical services & facilities management, energy efficiency and regeneration - as well as their specialist energy related capabilities (including smart buildings, green mobility, district and embedded energy, and decentralised renewables) will become part of EQUANS. This equates to a £2 billion revenue company, employing 13,500 people - a significant part of the overall new global operation.

EQUANS will continue to be owned by ENGIE, but will have a dedicated management team and operating structure, providing the conditions to further accelerate growth and service performance.

The new EQUANS brand will begin to roll-out across operations in the coming months.

Nicola Lovett, CEO of EQUANS UK & Ireland, said: "The creation of EQUANS is an exciting development for our business, placing greater focus on our core services capabilities and providing new agility to deliver a market leading service for our customers. Operating under the EQUANS banner, we will be focused on unlocking further opportunities across the built environment as our partners continue to embrace a greener, more efficient and increasingly digital world."
