GRAHAM partners with Grant Thornton on Hard Facilities Management contract in Belfast

The contract, for an initial three-year term, began this month and involved the provision of planned and reactive maintenance services, with the support of locally based, specialist supply chain partners.

With offices in Hillsborough and Belfast, Grant Thornton is regarded as one of Ireland’s leading accountancy and advisory organisations.

Following exponential growth, it rationalised its Belfast operations in 2017, moving to modern, new offices on the third floor of the iconic Danske Bank building in Donegall Square West.

Notably, Graham facilitated this move following the completion of a major interior fit-out scheme.

Highlighting the importance of the contract, Gordon Richardson, Graham Senior Contracts Manager FM, said it was a ‘strategic addition to the Graham facilities management portfolio’.

He added: “We are delighted to have secured this contract with such a prestigious client in Grant Thornton.

“Over the next three years and beyond, we look forward to forging a strong, mutually beneficial partnership that will support and enhance the delivery of Grant Thornton’s Belfast operations.

“This is a strategic addition to the Graham facilities management portfolio, and it adds to our growing list of blue-chip clients in Northern Ireland, and across the UK as a whole.”

Currently, Graham is delivering a range of facilities management services throughout Belfast city centre, including at 9 Lanyon Place, the Bar Library, and for Allen & Overy at its flagship headquarters in Donegal Quay.

Graham specialises in the delivery of award-winning building, civil engineering, interior fit-out and facilities management.

A truly national business, Graham operates from a network of 23 regional offices throughout the UK and Ireland and employs over 2,000 colleagues. Over 1,100 of these employees are from Northern Ireland.

The company has seen sales surge to more than £850m, with turnover rising by 16% to £835m for the year ending March 2020.
