Hattrick of wins for Churchill Environmental Services
Churchill Environmental Services (CES) has strengthened its portfolio with new contracts with Nuneaton & Bedworth Borough Council, Avon Fire & Rescue Service, and Falmouth University.
Nuneaton & Bedworth Borough Council…
Nuneaton & Bedworth Borough Council has appointed CES via the Efficiency East Midlands (EEM) framework on a three-year contract, with the option for two more years. The scope of work includes planned preventative maintenance monitoring to provide transparency (monthly temperature checks, quarterly showers, annual inspections), legionella risk assessments, written control schemes, and remedial and reactive plumbing works.
As part of the mobilisation, CES carried out full asset verification and implemented an updated compliance scheme. CES was chosen after identifying areas of improvement in the council's property and asset management data, its in-depth legionella management plan to implement early in mobilisation, and its site-specific written control schemes.
Avon Fire & Rescue Service…
Avon Fire & Rescue Service has appointed CES to deliver legionella monitoring and water hygiene compliance across its 24 sites, including wholetime, day-crewed and on-call fire stations, and administrative centres.
The team will provide monthly PPM visits, emergency call-out support, risk assessments and scientific analysis of suspect samples, leveraging CES' experience working with other blue light organisations, such as Dorset and Wiltshire Fire & Rescue. The contract is for two years with the option of two more.
Falmouth University…
Falmouth University has appointed CES on a three-year contract to deliver water system planned preventive maintenance, repair services and call-out support across the campus.
CES was appointed in July following a competitive tender and pre-engagement process. Falmouth University was impressed by CES' experience delivering similar contracts, its strong local presence and its approach to social value, including ongoing apprenticeship training and community initiatives.
"We are delighted with the work of the CES operatives, David Lingard and Leigh Rudkin,” says Joana Rosario, the University’s maintenance officer. ”They have been a pleasure to work with, and our end users have been consistently happy with the quality of their work. CES' excellent communication, teamwork, and positive attitude make them a great asset to our campus."
Spencer Culley, managing director at Churchill Environmental Services, says of the contract wins:
"These reflect the trust our clients place in us to deliver critical compliance services. Whether working with councils, emergency services or universities, our focus remains on providing technical excellence, seamless collaboration and the highest standards of safety and compliance."
CES is part of the Churchill Group - the second largest Employee Ownership Trust in the UK. A controlling interest in the company has been transferred to an employee-owned trust which is then held for the benefit of employees.
