Welcome When I’m asked what makes MITIE so successful and so special, my reply is always ‘our people’. It’s incredible how a great team can achieve so much! This is the second edition of our little guide to being MITIE, and I’m delighted to say that,12 months on, there’s lots of new features and case studies. It just goes to show how quickly MITIE is growing and how fast we’ve adapted to our clients’ needs. So what’s different in this edition? Well, you’ll notice a whole new section about CarbonCare – MITIE’s carbon and energy efficiency proposition, more information on all the great initiatives we get involved in when it comes to sustainability, and lots of examples of work we do for our clients. As we grow, it’s more important than ever that every single person at MITIE knows what we’re all about and all the different ways we support and add value to our clients. After all, people plus passion is what make MITIE the success it is today.

01 The basics A little bit about MITIE Hard as it is to link passion with outsourcing, that’s what makes MITIE different. We specialise in outsourcing and energy services and we like to think we’re the best. Why? Well we work in close partnership with each and every client to provide everything they could need – from strategic consultancy to service delivery. In simple terms, we think, manage and deliver on their behalf. This client dedication, alongside the passion of our people for what they do, has helped us become a leading FTSE 250 business with over 60,000 people and revenues of over £1.8bn. That’s over 20 years of growth and success. And we’ve only just started…

07 The basics Our values: People When it comes to people, our objective is very clear – we want to recruit, retain and develop the very best. That’s why we’ve come up with so many initiatives to make MITIE a place where people can achieve great things through their own efforts and see themselves well rewarded. Our people are our biggest asset so we are fully committed to welcoming and integrating all our new employees into the business. Our induction programme is regularly reviewed to ensure that it continues to provide the tools and knowledge needed in the first days, weeks and months of employment to empower our people to make the impact they want right from the start. Our performance management process also starts from day one and aims to ensure that everyone receives feedback and support to maximise their individual potential. With clearly defined performance standards aligned to our values, our intention is to deliver fair regular performance evaluation against clear individual objectives to everyone at MITIE. What’s more, we continue to improve our talent management processes by identifying the training and development needs at all levels across the business so that we can determine the steps we need to take to meet these.

08 The basics Motivating, engaging and rewarding our people We think having the right balance between work and play is really important too. That’s why we’ve set up MITIE’s Got Talent, our annual event that showcases all of your special talents. Whether it’s singing, magic or ball room dancing we’d love to see what our people get up to away from work. And encourage as many people as possible to take part. We also have an employee rewards scheme, MITIE Rewards, which offers a wide range of discounts on anything from holidays to high street vouchers. We take care of all the logistics for the scheme and provide you with a login and password, so all you have to do is see what takes your fancy and start saving. Talking of saving money, the Save As You Earn (SAYE) scheme is a great way to help MITIE people save, by putting a set amount of money aside each month, straight from your pay. You don’t even have to save huge amounts – it all adds up. Also, if you stay in the scheme until the end of the savings period you get a tax free bonus! peopLe miTie’s goT TAleNT
MITIE’s Got Talent X Factor watch out! strictly stars stand back...a new generation of talent has landed. miTie’s very own talent competition, miTie’s got Talent, is getting bigger and better every year. since its launch in 2008 the competition has produced top quality talent to give the likes of matt cardle and Kara Tointon a run for their money.
2 Teneeka Fothergill Teneeka treated the audience to a self-penned number that went down a storm in the final. “When I went to the MITIE’s Got Talent audition I was quite nervous as I knew I’d be performing in front of my colleagues who I see on a daily basis; whilst having no idea of what kind of act MITIE would see as suitable entertainment for the event. I was very pleased when I got through to the finals. The evening of the final was great! When I went on stage the fear had vanished and I loved every minute of it as the audience were really warm and welcoming.”
With such sensational acts the competition was tougher than ever but it was Birmingham-based rock band, Blemish, fronted by lead guitarist and MITIE-man John Martin (pictured far right), who took the crown at the MITIE Senior Management Conference in September. The band have been working and performing together since late 2004 and counted the MITIE’s Got Talent final as one of their most memorable performances, with John Martin commenting “What a mind blowing experience. The atmosphere was electric – we were made to feel very special. It will be a day we won’t forget for a long time!” The band have previously been tipped as one of the ‘ones to watch’ in the rock music industry, having won a Kerrang award for their song ‘One in a Million’, which was voted No.1 in the unsigned chart. However John described the MITIE’s Got Talent final as a particular highlight, commenting: “It was a magical event, pure class.” Their prize was to spend a day in recording studio to work on some of their new material. They plan to go into Sky Lab studio in Birmingham early this year when the finishing touches on their new songs have been made.

Let’s meet the finalists… 1 Anthony Cox The trumpet player extraordinaire performed with the rest of his band, Just Jazz. “I was very nervous at the auditions. I played with a backing track which is something I’d never done before. It was fantastic to get through to the final; I’ve played in front of audiences for 20 years, but it certainly was different to play in front of colleagues. I would definitely recommend entering to others who would be brave enough to perform!” 26 buzz

4 Debra Bridgewater Debra’s powerful rendition of ‘You’ve Got the Love’ would have left Florence looking for her machine. “I really enjoyed the MITIE’s Got Talent experience. Meeting the other finalists was great, everybody was really nice and of course extremely talented. The auditions were a little nerve-racking, it felt like an X Factor audition with the panel watching and commenting… Thankfully they weren’t as harsh as Simon Cowell! Reaching the final was fantastic, the setting and the sound facilities were particularly impressive!”
Hayley Collier
Our dance starlet set a high standard on the dance floor…”I was so pleased to make it through to the final! I always knew I had a competitive streak from my dancing days, but because I hadn’t performed in quite a while, it was great to be told that I’d done well. I had so much fun at the final… I was the last to leave the dance floor! The whole experience was fabulous. I also really liked the online voting system as it meant my friends and family could support me.”
Majda’s performance of the Leona Lewis’ version of Snow Patrol’s anthem ‘Run’ wowed the crowds… “It felt great to be picked for the final, knowing that a lot of people from MITIE auditioned. The audition process was very nerveracking as there were four judges, a camera man, a photographer and an audience! The only thing that was missing was Simon Cowell!”

09 The basics Our values: Passion People plus passion is what MITIE’s all about – and it’s what makes us stand out from the crowd. And because our people are so passionate about what they do, we want them to enjoy respect and recognition for a job well done. MITIE Stars Awards – our annual employee recognition scheme is one of the most talked about ways we recognise and reward the individuals and teams that have done something special. The scheme is open to everyone at MITIE and runs from September to August. The winner takes home over £20,000 worth of prizes and prize money – so it’s pretty impressive stuff. We’re also passionate about being the best and we get recognised for that pretty often: • BITC Volunteering award 2010 – Innovation category for the Real Apprentice programme • PFM Partnership awards 2010 – Partners in Expert Services with our client PwC • BSIA Chairman’s award 2010 – Contribution to training in the security industry • Land Securities’ People into Action awards 2011 – Exceptional Response category • RBS Property Services award 2010 – Efficiency and Effectiveness category • BIFM awards 2010 – Innovation in Customer Service category for our Vision FM Software

10 The basics MITIE Stars winner 2010/2011 – Marc Mann Marc Mann, an engineer from our PFI team, shone as our top star for 2010/2011. Marc’s quick thinking and selflessness saved a life in a very dangerous situation. Marc’s outstanding act earned him this year’s title of MITIE Stars winner and a dream prize worth £15,000 which he’s decided to spend on a family holiday and a brand new kitchen. “ It still doesn’t feel like I did anything out of the ordinary and I can’t believe I won. MITIE Stars has changed my life; taking my family on holiday and being able to have a new kitchen is not something I would have ever thought I’d have achieved in a six month period.” Remember, anyone can be nominated for a MITIE Stars Award so why not make someone’s day today. If you’d like to be able to nominate someone you work with at MITIE or have some posters and nomination leaflets where you work, just email us at helpdesk@mitiestars.com. Alternatively, you can find lots of information online at www.mitie.com/mitiestars Marc Mann receiving his award from CEO Ruby McGregor-Smith at the 2010 MITIE Stars Awards final

11 The basics Fresh thinking
WE
LING
RECYC
We really pride ourselves on doing that little bit extra – whether it’s for a customer or a colleague. That’s exactly why we encourage all our people to think a bit differently about things. From implementing energy saving programmes, to speaking at industry events, sharing best practice with clients and using new social media like Facebook and Twitter to keep in touch with all our people – we’re really into our fresh thinking. MiWorld® is a great example of innovation at MITIE. The webbased portal is the brainchild of our finest technological minds and gives our clients more control of their systems and data in one fully integrated platform. But fresh thinking isn’t just about technology. MITIE’s waste and environmental team have developed a truly innovative hearts and minds campaigns to help support clients’ recycling efforts. ‘We love recycling’ is all about promoting the benefits of recycling: saving energy, using fewer natural resources, protecting the environment and diverting waste from landfill.

12 The basics MiNet and social networking In 2010, we had a major overhaul of our company intranet to make it more interactive and exciting for MITIE people to find out everything they might need to know in their everyday jobs. MiNet is available to anyone who has access to a MITIE network and email address. And, because it’s updated by MITIE people, it changes every day with the latest news, documents and support tools to mirror our fast paced business. And for all those MITIE people who don’t have access to MiNet, we have a Facebook page to post comments. Ruby McGregor-Smith, our Chief Exec blogs regularly and responds to many of the posts, so whatever your comment, we’d love to hear it. Getting feedback from our people is the best way for us to know what’s going on throughout the business and to make improvements. You can also check out our twitter page for short, regular updates on all things MITIE.

13 The basics Exciting futures We want to make sure that all our people want to do their jobs better than anybody else in the world. This means they need lots of opportunities ahead of them: we want them to find inspiration from skill development and career progression. When people join MITIE, it’s just the first step towards an exciting future. Looking after our people is important to us – it’s part of our ethos and culture: creating jobs, providing opportunities and helping people fulfil their potential, every day. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of career and personal development opportunities. These include a mix of programmes and apprenticeships that make sure we nurture our talent at each and every level. We keep all our courses fresh to make sure we’re always up to speed with our fast changing environment, and we’re always meeting our people’s needs. Giving school children an introduction to construction and building skills, our Skills Centres currently have over 500 students studying on nationally recognised construction vocational courses. And they’re not the only ones who benefit: from the young individuals whose skill sets and employment prospects are improved and the schools whose attendance and pass rates have increased, to the communities that have access to new facilities out of school hours – everyone involved takes something away with them.

14 The basics Graduate leadership programme In 2010, we launched the first ever MITIE Graduate programme and welcomed six graduates to the MITIE team. The programme is designed to identify the future leaders of the business and fast-track them into management across the company. During the twelve-month programme Sam, Ricky, Alister, Jamie, Sophie and David will work closely with a senior manager or director to develop their customer care, financial and leadership skills. Each graduate spends time working within business development, operations, project management, HR and marketing and communications, to make sure they get the broadest exposure to all aspects of a fast-growing FTSE 250 business. The first round of graduates complete their 12 months in August 2011 so watch out for the ceremony pictures on MiNet! From left to right, top row: Sophie Saunders, Alister Yearley, Jamie Hall, David Harrison, Jean Ricky Nicoyitungiye and Samantha Greenwood.

16 Sustainability Everyone’s talking sustainability When some companies talk about sustainability, it can feel like a bit of an afterthought. We’ve always believed that a more sustainable business is a better business, and we have plenty to show for that in terms of what we’ve achieved. To be sure that we’re working on the things that can make a real difference, we’ve developed an approach that directly links our sustainable business agenda with the strategic issues that make our business successful. And in doing so, we’re defining what it means to be a sustainable business. Which means sustainability won’t be just one aspect of the way we work at MITIE, but part of every decision we make. MITIE now has six new focus areas for sustainability:
Looking after our clients properly Underpinning our Group strategy:
Clients
Operating contracts smarter Underpinning our Group strategy:
Operational efficiency

17 Sustainability Looking after our clients properly… …because that builds better partnerships, makes us more profitable, and delivers what our customers want. Effective Customer Relationship Management (CRM) has been core to the success of MITIE’s phenomenal growth to-date. Our clients trust us to deliver everything from single service – single site contracts, to transformational pan-European property portfolio management. Why? Well, it is not only because we deliver the widest range of services among our peers, it is also because our teams are great at making and developing relationships with our clients, and building long-term strategic partnerships. As an aspirational business we’ve invested in developing the right systems and integrating the correct processes to help support sales and relationship management across the group. We’ve got one common CRM platform that enables our teams to share client, contact and pipeline information, which in turn increases awareness of where we work, and also promotes cross-selling and up-selling. We also make sure we listen to our clients, whether via face-toface meetings or regular surveys. At the heart of all of this, at MITIE we believe that people buy from people, and we’re pleased to say that our sales and operational teams are the best in the business. We pride ourselves on their knowledge and expertise and they underpin our success and future growth.

18 Sustainability Case study: The Real Apprentice We’ve built our success on the quality of our service, and that will never change. What is changing is what our clients need from us, and the ever-increasing number of ways we can put our know-how to work to help them. There’s no more obvious example of this than our pioneering and award-winning Real Apprentice scheme, we’ve not only reached into the communities in which we work together to create opportunities for local unemployed talent, but we’ve also entered into an enriching longer-term relationship. The stats speak for themselves – with over 40 of our clients and 200 apprentices having taken part, and 97 of them securing jobs straight off the back of the scheme, it’s no wonder we’ve scooped up over ten awards in the last six years!

over 40 client companies have taken part
The Real Apprentice is MITIE’s highest award-winning programme having scooped up the following:
sARAh jones, ReAl AppRenTice, febRuARy 2010
• BiTC European Employee Volunteering Award – Innovation – 2011 • Opportunity Now – Directing Diverse Talent – 2010 • Race for Opportunity – Widening the Talent Pool – 2009 • BiTC – Big Tick for Employability 2007-2009 + National Commendation for Excellence Certificate signed by HRH Prince Charles
so, what do we all get out of it?
From MITIE’s point of view, the Real Apprentice isn’t just further proof of our commitment to being a responsible, sustainable business; the commercial case behind the programme is rather compelling too. Because there’s no recruitment fee, we’ve saved over £300k since the start of the programme. What’s more, the scheme forms a big part of our ethos to create opportunities – which is also a great differentiator for us, helping to win more tenders and create long lasting relationships with our clients.
9 Real Apprentice programmes so far...
97 Real Apprentices secured jobs
• PFM Partnership Award –2006 • National Training Awards – London Regional Winner, Employability –2006
edge Awards – london Regional winner for employability
Working with JobCentre Plus has enabled MITIE to utilise existing funding, meaning there are no additional expenses and no costs attached to securing an interview, preparing a CV or pre-work training with third sector partners. If the participants secure a job at the end of the programme, into-work benefits are arranged and if they don’t, there is no need for a new claim to be completed – really reducing the barriers to participation.
134 Real Apprentices completed course
And when it comes to our existing employees, the Real Apprentice has boosted team morale no end – the mentors feel a great personal satisfaction in being part of the programme and it’s been great for productivity all round! As a multiple award-winning scheme, the Real Apprentice is setting the bar for others to follow when it comes to employment strategy for the hardest to reach groups. And at MITIE we love nothing more than paving the way for innovation...

For the participants, the scheme provides a current employer reference and audit trail regardless of time previously unemployed. It raises awareness of different 1 14:41 25/01/201 industries and potential career paths and helps them recognise their own abilities and increase their selfconfidence. The main benefit of the Real Apprentice over any other employment programme is the fact the participants retain their full unemployment benefits and also receive travel expenses which means there’s no financial impact in taking part.

19 Sustainability Operating our contracts smarter… …because that makes us more productive, which in turn makes us more sustainable, and puts the influence we have on our supply chain to work in a positive way. We’re promoting more efficient and sustainable business practices across our whole business, and encouraging the firms in our supply chain to follow our example. We want all our suppliers to have the same high sustainability standards we do, and we’re prepared to put our own expertise and experience to work to help them do that.
“ Our supply base is a natural extension of us and we need to share learning and experience with each other. One common area for all supply partners is sustainability. We are committed to developing and assisting our supply chain to come on the MITIE journey.” Simon Priestley – Director, Shared Services.

20 Sustainability Case study: Waitrose We’re working with Waitrose to deliver the food retailer’s first biomass-powered, carbon-negative store, at East Cowes on the Isle of Wight. We designed, built and operate an innovative decentralised energy centre, fuelled by woodchip from local producers in the supermarket’s own supply chain. Waitrose purchase energy for the store from MITIE, and export surplus to nearly 170 local homes and a medical centre. In a typical 2,000m² store, an energy centre like this should reduce consumption of grid electricity by 91% and gas by 80%, and cut carbon emissions by 1,257 tonnes per year. A win-win situation for everyone involved!

21 Sustainability Nurturing our people’s talents… …because we can only give clients the best service if we have the best people on the case. This is all about finding the right people, motivating them in the right way, and coming up with the right development plans. And of course communicating with them every step of the way wherever they work. We won’t achieve our ambitions without the best people, whether they’re on-site providing cleaning or security services, helping our clients implement complex new systems and innovative resource strategies to help run their businesses better, or leading from the top at MITIE itself. At MITIE, we believe that sustainable success comes from the varied cultures, experiences and talents of our people. That is why in March 2011 we launched our first ever diversity week to raise awareness of the importance of workplace and supply chain diversity.

22 Sustainability Case study: Revolution Academy Featuring the fantastic Five Star Hotel Safari, this four-day cultural development programme delivered by MITIE’s client services training team is designed to be fully experiential, rather than instructional or academic. One of the fundamental principles of the Revolution Academy is that training people in specific actions doesn’t produce great results so the course mainly focuses on behaviours, using interactive games and activities. Delegates leave the course with nothing other than a handful of commitments on how they can deliver Five Star service to visitors, clients and callers. Over the four days, it looks at: • Personal energy management and resilience; • Culture and team building; • Specialist service skills, including disability awareness, international protocol and welcoming blind and deaf visitors; • P osture and wellbeing; • P ersonal and vocal impact; • E xceptional Five Star service. It’s open to anyone at MITIE and is offered on a monthly basis throughout London and every couple of months in other regions. Get in touch with tom.robinson@mitie.com to find out more.
“ Just to say a big thank you and that I really enjoyed the training very much. New mind/fresh ideas, attitude and all round vision of what is expected from us. I had a fantastic time.”

23 Sustainability Enabling our people to work safe, and go home safe… …because our people are the greatest asset we have, and nothing is more important than their well-being. Our philosophy with health and safety is all about ‘Work Safe Home Safe’. We do everything we can to make sure that all of our people and everyone that is affected by what we do get home safely at the end of the working day. Health and safety is at the heart of our business and we strive to improve our performance each and every year. Our health and safety management system is accredited to the OHSAS 18001 standard and is managed by over 90 dedicated health and safety professionals within MITIE. At MITIE, we know that effective health and safety management can only come with the support, drive and commitment of senior managers, which is why we run senior operational and board level health and safety training workshops. We set high standards and expect every single person at MITIE to play their part in maintaining them.

24 Sustainability Case study: Work Safe Home Safe! In 2010, we launched an internal health and safety communications campaign called Work Safe Home Safe! to help us raise risk awareness, encourage best practice behaviour and stimulate a proactive safety culture. The aim of the campaign was to develop the right tools for managers across MITIE to deliver the message themselves. Support material includes a 10 minute video, PowerPoint slides, posters, a manager’s briefing guide and regular updates throughout the year to help keep the message fresh and up-to-date. The Work Safe Home Safe! key behaviours are based on MITIE’s core values:
PEOPLE Look out for one another. We take responsibility not only for our own safety, but the safety of everyone else in the workplace – colleagues and clients.
PASSION Get Involved. We build safety into everything we do and take the time to do the job right.
FRESH THINKING Think Safety. We never get complacent and make a habit of asking ourselves ‘can I do this in a safer way’?
EXCITING FUTURES Home Safe. What we all want, to go home unharmed, fit and healthy to live our lives to the full outside of work. Anyone at MITIE can order the materials to deliver team talks by simply calling our QHSE department on 0117 970 8853.

25 Sustainability Using fewer natural resources… …because that helps tackle climate change, and gives us valuable environmental expertise we can pass on to our clients. If there’s one area where we can make a real difference to sustainability, then this is surely it. We know what we need to do to improve our environmental performance: firstly by continuing to challenge our own culture we’ll cut our use of energy and transport fuel, reduce our carbon emissions, and create less waste. We also want to limit carbon by using more low and no emission vehicles in our fleet, and by helping our supply chain to drive out waste in manufacturing, transportation and packaging. With the introduction of our CarbonCare energy services proposition in 2010, we now have the skills and expertise in house to benchmark our office facilities, prepare carbon management strategies and prioritise buildings for attention in our own portfolio, as well as in our clients’.

They tell us what’s going on in their building that may have an impact on the environment. They help us with utility meter readings and keep an eye on all things wasteful. The best thing is, there’s a dedicated page on our intranet full of useful hints and tips, updates and suggestions on how to best communicate their passion to their colleagues. As a Green Star, they can log on to relevant e-learning programmes as often as they wish to brush up on their skills, and they get the chance to make a difference to the green performance league tables. Last but not least, they get to shout about their passion with a Green Stars email sign off to let everyone know their commitment to the environment! If you’re a passionate green thinker too, and want to help MITIE be the best, then email greenteam@mitie.com to volunteer as a Green Star!

27 Sustainability Doing more for our clients with less, wherever they are in the world… …because our range of sustainability products and services will be one of our biggest competitive advantages going forwards, in the UK and abroad. No-one else has better or more innovative low carbon and environmental technologies than we do, can match our expertise, or can offer as many energy services together in one place. Which means we’re best placed to help our clients cuts costs, use fewer resources, and become more sustainable, and grow our own business at the same time. We don’t like jargon, but that really is win-win. Our CarbonCare offering is leading the way to carbon efficiency with integrated services that help manage down an organisations’ energy and carbon use.

28 Sustainability Case study: London Fire Brigade MITIE is helping the London Fire Brigade (LFB) significantly cut its carbon footprint and saving tens of thousands of pounds a year for the public purse. We have a ten-year contract to reduce carbon emissions at ten LFB buildings as part of London’s bigger CO2 reduction commitments. The contract is part of the London RE-FIT scheme, formerly known as the Building Energy Efficiency Programme and was awarded through the Greater London Authority in 2009. Prompted by an original idea from the Clinton Climate Change Initiative, the Mayor of London, together with his peers from other cities in the world-wide C40 Cities Group, pledged to act positively to reduce wasteful emissions from public buildings. The results? The contract was the first of its type and is performance based, requiring MITIE to achieve specific emissions reduction targets over the period of the contract. The overall objective is to enable public bodies in London to significantly reduce carbon emissions from their buildings, with a target of 60% reductions by 2025. The success of the savings made at The London Fire Brigade has drawn direct praise from The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson himself, “Well done to the London Fire Brigade for being the first to the finish line in giving their buildings a green makeover. These stations will save a whopping £50,000 per year as a result of these works and significantly reduce carbon emissions. I am encouraging all public sector organisations to take part in this innovative programme that makes huge reductions to their energy bills.”

30 Services Introduction People know us for facilities management, trust us to supply excellent services, and admire us for our entrepreneurial energy, but we’re just as good at long-term strategic planning as we are at the day-to-day detail. In fact, there are three separate strings to our bow: we think, we manage, and we deliver. • the thinking phase is all about finding strategic answers to long-term challenges about assets and resources; • facilities and project management puts those plans in place; and • our unrivalled range of services is one of the best in the business. However our clients want to work with us, whether they want a single, multiple service contract or integrated FM, our commitment is the same: we’ll always go that extra mile. Our success is built on thinking strategically, operating responsibly, and working in partnership with our customers to create and add value, wherever possible.

31 Services Think: Strategic Outsourcing Strategic engagement with our clients is becoming ever more important. Strategic Outsourcing is here to help clients save money and gain competitive edge by looking at the bigger picture. Carbon management, sustainability, energy, cost reduction, risk, change management and off shoring are some of the areas we can give our clients a clear business advantage. For MITIE this is creating opportunity; an opportunity to engage in different ways that will bring new solutions for clients. How can we link energy generation to traditional facilities management? How can we provide and integrate property management solutions with facilities management? How can we link our management information to understand total operating costs? How can we extend our service base into new areas to meet the profile of integrated services in the health sector? Can we link working practices more akin to business process outsourcing with traditional facilities management? There is no one answer to these questions and the profile of each client’s needs, be that public or private, will differ. Our role is to build creative solutions via partnerships, joint ventures, acquisitions or even suggested MITIE start-up businesses. Those deals will be high value and ultimately take MITIE into new markets with new horizons. And since strategic outsourcing is a joined up approach that unlocks the full value of the whole property portfolio, we’ve invested in more technology to help us achieve this. We’ve created an integrated system called MiWorld® that allows us to create a single reporting platform and provide the client with a common interface for both communication and reporting.

33 Services Think: CarbonCare MITIE’s energy proposition is leading the way to carbon efficiency CarbonCare is a full range of integrated services that can help organisations manage down their energy use and carbon footprint. From providing the right equipment, and using it efficiently, to complying with an increasingly complex legislative environment. No-one offers a larger range of energy and carbon services all in one place. Our expertise ranges from measuring an organisation’s carbon exposure, to developing a comprehensive energy strategy tailored to their particular business, helping them eliminate waste, reduce costs, and identify effective clean alternatives. The real advantage of CarbonCare is that it brings everything together in one place: from strategy, to delivery, to long-term performance improvement. We have experience and know-how in a whole range of different aspects of energy and carbon management, which means we’re confident we can assemble the right combination of services to address our clients’ needs.

37 Services Manage: Asset management Developing innovative energy infrastructure to meet the challenges of a changing energy landscape. We are, first and foremost, engineers who use low and zerocarbon technologies to create unique energy infrastructure, providing the electricity, heating or cooling an organisation requires. Developing secure, sustainable energy supplies with price certainty is our goal, guaranteeing efficiencies and reduced carbon emissions. These benefits are based on capturing the long-term value of decentralised energy generation. Put simply this means we can give schools, universities, supermarkets, offices and hospitals the ability to re-use waste to create energy for themselves and the local community, as well as providing wind and solar power so clients can become long-term generators of their own power. To find out more about our asset management offering, go to www.mitie.com/communityplatform or download our decentralised energy brochure from MiNet.

We can just as easily handle specific maintenance contracts like heating, ventilation and air conditioning, electrical and mechanical systems, lighting and power distribution systems, as well as lifts, escalators, and special building projects. We carry out effective compliance and maintenance regimes to ensure our clients’ buildings run efficiently and safely, and meet all the current environmental and statutory requirements. Our advanced systems manage all our clients’ maintenance and call-outs, with the support of a well-resourced customer services centre.

57 Sectors Introduction Each market sector has a unique set of requirements and at MITIE we work hard to understand the individuality of these sectors and the clients that operate within them. Understanding what’s important to our clients only comes from experience and we’ve got bags of it, in lots of sectors. From social housing and education to manufacturing, retail and transport, our goal is to help our clients achieve their goals. We can reduce costs, risk and CO2 emissions, save time and help to create a high quality environment for people to work in. In short, we do it all.

58 Sectors/Public Public sector Public sector includes Government, education, healthcare and social housing With the new government in place, reducing expenditure and improving service levels and sustainability have never been more important. There are more and more opportunities for MITIE to work in close partnership with public sector organisations to help them transform the Government estate and support the achievement of Sustainable Operation of Government Estate (SOGE) targets. Carbon legislation targets are also a big driver in the public sector’s search for collaboration with private companies, companies like MITIE. We can help our clients save energy, reduce carbon and manage down their costs with innovative, fit-for-purpose accountable services. Here are just some of the initiatives we’re putting in place to work with the public sector:

ser re for public
In any organisation, the route to a low carbon future lies in successfully pulling together numerous loose strands in one cohesive strategy – including property, finance, data management, procurement, and maintenance. The real secret of CarbonCare is that it does just that, delivering at both a strategic and an operational level a robust carbon reduction plan to achieve long term, sustainable improvements across the Government’s property portfolio. There are many different obstacles and challenges within the Government’s property portfolio when it comes to achieving lowcarbon goals, due to many factors – the age and design of buildings, inefficient plant and equipment, ineffective use of the space, as well as management and staff motivation. There is no one simple solution, but by outsourcing carbon management to MITIE and following a clearly defined carbon management plan, you are putting the problem in the hands of experts. MITIE not only has the experience to understand the issues, but also the expertise to design and practically apply solutions both directly and indirectly. No other energy service company delivers such a comprehensive range of technical know-how, and practical hands-on expertise. This has recently been corroborated in the independent study by BSRIA into the UK energy service market, which positioned MITIE as one of the two best energy services organisations.
The CarbonCare approach will make your buildings and facilities smarter, greener, safer and better run. here’s how we do it from the perspective of a government property portfolio:
rAISIng AwArEnESS We help respective departments and staff make the link between energy use, carbon emissions and cost. In simple terms if you use less energy it provides a cost saving against a volatile pricing commodity. Reducing the dependency on energy improves UK energy security and reduces carbon emissions, which means government targets are achieved and less money is tied up in the operation of carbon trading mechanisms.
InnovATIvE IdEAS We introduce new ideas. People often relate innovation with new energy technologies and at the moment the market is overflowing with gadgets and technical wizardry. Of course, it’s important to select the right ones. But the trick is in knowing how to apply these technologies in the context of current and planned legislation e.g. the application of feed in tariffs or renewable heat incentives. There also needs to be a new approach and fresh thinking to the outsourcing model, where there must be a true, two way agreement between department and service provider. We can operate a government building in an energy efficient manner but need staff to buy into our approach to make savings stick. For example, instead of keeping an entire office fully functional for a small number of overnight workers,
we encourage the use of a small dedicated area for night working – thus delivering much more in terms of savings and guarantees. It’s really that simple to get to 5% emissions reductions just by using your space better.
dATA MAnAgEMEnT If you can measure it, you can manage it. We’ll establish an accurate carbon footprint and take control of the data that will ensure effective utility procurement, bill validation and reporting. It will also identify where buildings are poorly operated, space poorly utilised and identify the scope for significant property portfolio reduction and rationalisation, providing savings to the bottom line from so many angles. This is the absolute bedrock of an effective carbon management strategy. At the same time linked to effective building control this action in itself not only sets the scene for bigger reductions but itself can deliver 5% emission reductions.

59 Sectors/Public Government In response to the cost cutting measures arising from the spending review, Local Authorities and other publicly funded bodies need to consider not only how they configure current services (in order to generate efficiency savings), but also who delivers them (to eliminate waste and duplication), and what services they continue to provide (to reduce the current cost base). Traditional approaches to both direct service delivery and outsourcing sometimes fall short of addressing this challenge and new ways of working are required that maximise benefits to local communities, employs local assets, enables local reinvestment, and encourages local employment. In addition to providing a full range of property, facilities and asset management services, we’ve come up with something new. LocalCARE is a new way of working developed by MITIE that does just this. It involves one or more local authorities, local public sector entities, social enterprises, employees, and the private sector, coming together as partners in a special purpose vehicle (SPV) that acts as a local ‘anchor’ company delivering back-office and support or front-line services to the community. Unlike traditional forms of joint venture or private finance initiative (PFI), the special purpose vehicle (SPV) is established once to provide services under a long-term agreement with a commissioning authority, but it is set up and governed in a way that allows the composition of the partners (particularly the private sector partner) to be tested and reviewed on a regular basis, without the need of complex and costly traditional procurement processes.

60 Sectors/Public Case study Scottish Government
The devolved Scottish Government is responsible for health, education, justice, rural affairs, and transport. It’s operated from 69 offices stretching from its Edinburgh base to the Highlands since 2004, and we’ve been working with them to minimise breakdown, extend the asset life and deliver value for money on such a wide property base. Because this was a first generation outsourcing contract we established many of the systems, processes and procedures from scratch and introduced a computer aided FM (CAFM) software solution to monitor, drive and measure the planned and reactive maintenance. And since it’s really important to us as well as our client, we’ve been working together to drive major health and safety and sustainability initiatives. The results? All activities are managed within the ISO 9001 quality management system and we get consistently high scores on customer satisfaction surveys. MITIE now consistently hits 98% successful completion of planned and preventative maintenance calls and 95% on reactive calls and we’re planning to further automate service delivery with the help of hand–held technology. Services Mechanical & electrical, projects, fixed–wire and portable appliance electrical testing, specialist sub–contractor management. 98% successful completion of planned and preventative maintenance (PPM) calls.
Best bit? 98% successful completion of PPM calls.

61 Sectors/Public Education The new coalition government has set out an agenda for eliminating the current financial deficit by the end of 2016. This means that for Local Authorities, the statement ‘more for less’ has never been more imperative. Following on from the government’s decision to reduce the ‘Building Schools for the Future’ programme, at MITIE, we’ve developed new strategies for maintenance in the education sector which responds to the current challenging financial environment, whilst offering the right level of risk transfer and value for money. So what do we do? Providing safe, compliant and cost effective buildings that are conducive to an environment suitable for learning today and tomorrow is all part of the MITIE education package. How do we do it? As each school or campus is different, we make sure our operational provision is always matched to the client’s needs. There are three core components at the heart of our delivery model: Cost management, Compliance and Carbon management.

Boldon School is a 1,200 place secondary school with a 222 seat theatre, 320 seat bistro area, and library, large sports centre with a swimming pool as well as a floodlit all-weather Astro pitch. Our Client Manager is in the unique position of being on the School’s Board of Governors which means we’re in true partnership with the School, the local council and SPV. All four parties work on the understanding that the best is always done for the students to learn in the best possible environment. Since the partnership began in 2009, we’ve been regularly praised by the headmaster for the standard of service and the ‘can-do’ attitude of the whole team. From the caretakers who make sure all the lights are off at the end of the day to the cleaners who are so quick to react that the students don’t see the point in graffiti anymore – the team is constantly going the extra mile for the client, and the students. In fact, in the last two years, the school energy bills have been significantly reduced and the recycling rates have gone up.
Services Planned preventative and reactive maintenance including M&E, building fabric and fire maintenance services, cleaning, security, pest control, catering, energy management, caretaking and porter services.
Best bit? Reduced energy bills and increased recycling rates.

With over 8,000 homes to service in the borough, we made the decision to co-locate some of the 44 dedicated MITIE people in Crawley Town Hall with the council’s own call centre. We’re very proud to say we achieved 100% compliance for gas safety checks in 2009 and 2010, meaning every Crawley resident’s system is safe and running efficiently. And, thanks to post service calls made by the council to their residents, we can safely say we’re doing a good job too – with a 97% satisfaction rating. Employing local people is a key part of the contract and 90% of the MITIE people working on the contract live within a 10 mile radius of Crawley – it’s our way of contributing to the local communities in which we work. We’re looking forward to bring some fresh thinking, with our ‘Systems Thinking’ approach soon to be implemented into the repairs contract. It’s an innovative method we already use in Portsmouth and Milton Keynes contracts and it’s proven to drive out wasteful practices, streamline work flow and deliver improved customer satisfaction. Watch this space!

Far from being a single activity, large scale construction is a feat of multi-tasking. The success of every project relies on the combined efforts of many skilled people: trades people; technicians, administrators, professionals and managers. From plumbing, climate control and painting through to mechanical and electrical engineering, we can provide multiple services in the construction of a residential or commercial building. We also help clients manage the environmental impact of each project, help with scheduling and budgeting as well as advise them on health and safety issues.

69 Sectors/Private Finance and professional Financial and professional businesses need partners that they can rely on when markets get tough. When times are challenging we work with our clients to provide services that meet their needs, but that can easily be altered when circumstances change. The economic downturn calls for cost certainty and cost reduction, so we offer initiatives such as longer term service contracts so that clients can manage their long-term budgets – we like to help in any way we can. We realise that everything we do has a direct effect on our clients’ reputation. From the quality of the greeting given by receptionists and the style and freshness of food served, to the professionalism of security officers – they all influence how a firm is perceived. Reputation comes from building excellent relationships, creating new and innovative ways of doing things, and exceptional performance. That’s why we always make sure that our services and the people who provide them are worldclass, and fit with our client’s culture and brand.

70 Sectors/Private Case study Deloitte LLP
Professional services provider Deloitte LLP contracted MITIE to refurbish and fit-out three separate campus buildings to create better work environments and space for their staff. We completely transformed all three campus buildings to reflect the clients’ corporate image and uphold their professional reputation. The campus now has full in-house printing facilities, canteens, restaurant areas and gyms for employees. Because the project also included a major upgrade of the main plant and infrastructure services for each building, we made sure everything was planned very carefully – carrying out all noisy works either early in the morning or late evening so that the buildings could remain fully occupied during the refurbishment. Despite a complicated brief, the major infrastructure and construction works were delivered on time and on budget, without impacting Deloitte’s normal, day-to-day operations. Better still, we created a contemporary, practical and professional working environment our clients can be proud of.
Services Interior fit-out & refurbishment

As the economy tightens, leisure facilities need to be in tiptop shape to make sure customers keep coming back. And in today’s culture of choice, where venues are constantly competing for that all important footfall, making sure the building, and facilities are world-class is all the more important. At MITIE, our teams understand the competitiveness of the market and will help clients stay at the top of their game, always. Our leisure clients are really aware of their carbon footprint, which we can help them manage. They also want to reduce the amount of energy they consume, as well as recycle more consumable waste. We’ll work with them to deliver sustainable initiatives across the business… helping them be smarter and greener, and save some money too.

We’ve been working with global manufacturing companies for years, driving down costs and improving the quality of services. We work in partnership with our client from day one, considering the needs of their people, clients and visitors. Performance and productivity improvement doesn’t always come from a breakthrough in technology. Sometimes it comes from people feeling better about the place where they work. That’s where we come in. We can improve the quality of food served, refurbish workplaces and ensure that everywhere is clean and hygienic. Our Rolls-Royce contract has a new look integrated facilities service brand “1team” which will replace MITIE branding on all services across the contract.

75 Sectors/Private Property management Managing property for owners is a role that requires skills in construction, development, maintenance, repair and the ongoing servicing of buildings. Not forgetting the ability to achieve a return on investment on the portfolio. We work with a number of managing agents who look after large property portfolios for various clients because we have the resources across the UK to assist with any property portfolio. Which is important, because the demands on buildings and their occupiers increase year-on-year. We’re well aware of the regulations in our industry too. From licensing and immigration to health and safety or environmental, we have the experts. What’s more, we have a flexible approach that produces the best solution for each client. Whether we are installing renewable energy systems, undertaking an interior fit-out project or providing cleaning, catering or mailroom services, we continually listen to our clients. We also know a thing or two about creating an atmosphere that encourages creative thinking and putting ideas into action – making sure we really add value in everything we do.

A 26 floor tower, 320,000 square feet of offices and three retail outlets in the heart of London, 125 Old Broad Street is definitely a lot to contend with. During an extensive refurbishment, the client asked MITIE to provide security and access control for the 400 workmen and numerous prospective tenants coming in daily. A flexible, hands-on, professional approach and a team of people able to build relationships with the building’s numerous tenants is what the client wanted. From the outset, we delivered just that. We demonstrated flexibility as tenants continued viewings and organised their move into the building, and played an active role in the whole process – from accepting deliveries and welcoming contractors to issuing permits and providing induction and fire training. We also provide site training and inductions to all contractors before they begin any work on site. It’s a weight off our client’s mind to know everyone working on the building at any given time has been briefed and trained.

77 Sectors/Private Retail Making sure that footfall stays high, that shoppers spend money, have fun and want to come back are not usually things that you would expect an outsourcing business to think about. Well, we do. The retail sector is fast paced and has exacting demands. We know that and make sure we always keep up with our customers and their ever changing needs. Security needs to be effective but not too intrusive, cleaning standards need to be high but invisible – helping shoppers to enjoy their experience and retailers to increase their footfall. From the supermarket to the specialist boutique, today’s customers want to do more than simply spend money – they want to be stimulated and entertained. What’s more, when consumers are tightening their belts as markets toughen, we make sure that we offer services that are provide value for money and contribute to a successful shopping experience. MITIE has specialist teams that only operate in the retail sector so clients are certain that they are dealing with people who really understand their business.

The partnership’s latest venture is ‘John Lewis at home’ – a shop that focuses exclusively on furniture, furnishing accessories, electrical and home technology. The first at home shop opened in Poole in October 2009 and MITIE’s retail engineering team has recently completed work at the third John Lewis at home store in Swindon. In a programme of 11 weeks, our team installed £2 million worth of mechanical and electrical services in a 60,000 sq. ft. space. MITIE was chosen for the job after working with Waitrose on other retail engineering projects. The project had a very short lead time, meaning the retail engineering team had to work quickly to plan, procure and install £2 million worth of services installation. Never ones to shy away from a challenge, our team rose to the occasion and completed the project in time for the shop’s opening on 28 October 2010.
Services Mechanical and electrical installation
Best bit? Working with a company whose employees all share in the success of the organisation, just like at MITIE.

79 Sectors/Private Technology and communications Speed is fundamental to gain competitive advantage in the fastmoving world of technology and communications. In fields such as communications technology, bringing innovations to market in the shortest possible time is what really counts. It’s just as important to operate within secure, sterile environments that provide optimum conditions for research, development, manufacturing and testing. It is this balance that we keep for the technology sector. With an established track record, flexibility and attention to detail, we understand what it takes to deliver service innovation swiftly. We respond to our clients’ need to bring innovation about as quickly as possible, before any competitors – because being first to market is critical. Which is exactly why we work with our clients to keep costs as efficient as possible.

80 Sectors/Private Case study
Vodafone
Building on our existing relationship with Vodafone, in 2010 we won a contract to provide total facilities management to the mobile telecoms giant’s entire UK property portfolio. This is a first class example of how all the MITIE services across the business pull together in a true team effort to meet our clients’ needs. We now provide integrated FM for all of Vodafone’s UK properties, including their commercial offices, retail portfolio, data centres, mobile telephone exchanges’s, warehouses and call centres. As part of the agreement, we also manage the supply chain of a range of other services including catering, reprographics and transport, making us a true partner to Vodafone. Our breadth of service delivery, the quality we consistently provide, and our ability to meet Vodafone’s needs at the multitude of sites across the UK was crucial in winning the work; and our service innovation in energy management and CarbonCare were also large contributing factors in the selection process.
Services Supply chain management, cleaning, maintenance, security, business services, landscaping and pest control
Best bit? Impressing our client with our innovative energy management capabilities.

81 Sectors/Private Transport and logistics With costs on the increase and extra space for new transport facilities at a premium, the UK’s transport infrastructure, including road, rail and aviation, creates unique challenges for those tasked with servicing, maintaining and improving it. People expect to travel in greater comfort, to enjoy a range of additional services before and during journeys, to arrive on time, and, most importantly, to travel in complete safety. MITIE works in the UK’s major airports, its key rail terminals, road networks and ports helping transport businesses keep the wheels in motion and satisfy their customers’ every need. We also have a dedicated aviation team to support the specific requirements of the largest transport sector and manage key contracts.

82 Sectors/Private Case study Brittany Ferries
Back in 2007, French ferry company Brittany Ferries was looking for a fast-paced and proactive partner to provide cleaning and chambermaiding in a very limited period of time within a pressurised environment. Six weeks before the official start date of our contract, we were in place in the port to ensure a smooth transition from the previous company. We now clean six of the eight ships on the fleet with over 40 arrivals per week in high season – a total of 1,015 cabins and 1600 berths in a three hour window! We’re really proud to say that, thanks to a great working partnership and innovative control systems we’ve reduced Brittany Ferries’ cleaning costs by over 14% in the first three years of the contract. And we’ve been reappointed for the next three years.
Services Cleaning and chambermaiding
Best bit? A 14% saving in the first three years.

83 Sectors/Private Utilities Energy and waste disposal costs are going through the roof. Everyone is conscious of how much energy they use and how much waste they produce. With the nation heavily dependent on gas, electricity and water supplies, power stations, refineries and treatment plants need to be equipped and maintained to run safely and efficiently under pressure. In common with many other sectors, the drive for improved operational efficiency is leading to larger, longer-term contracts where sustainability and renewable energy are key. We place great emphasis on safety, sustainability and ease of maintenance, so that our clients get the best return from their assets and equipment – and keep the country in natural resources.

84 Sectors/Private Case study RWE npower
We’ve been working with leading UK energy company RWE npower since 1998, providing integrated facilities services across its 60+ sites in the UK. With over 200 people dedicated to the contract, we’ve continued to demonstrate the scale and flexibility RWE npower requires to deliver savings and efficiencies across its estate. And, with the reduction to one FM provider with one multi-skilled team, we’ve strengthened our existing relationship with the client, adding significant value, as well as making them considerable savings too!
Services Services include: security, cleaning, waste, energy management and engineering and maintenance.
Best bit? One multi-skilled team that provides flexibility, efficiency and continually delivers savings for our client.
