AMEC has secured a building services maintenance contract for Direct Line, one of the UK's top insurance companies.

The three-year contract, worth over £500,000, is to provide site services to Direct Line’s portfolio of buildings across the UK, covering Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham and London. AMEC is providing a resident team of engineers to carry out the maintenance of mechanical and electrical services on 13 buildings totalling about 50,000-sq. m.

The Direct Line contract, which began last month, is one of a series of facilities management awards secured by AMEC this year. In February, Warner Village Cinemas awarded AMEC a three-year building services maintenance contract, which i-FM reported on (see news 10th March).
