Fast-growing facilities management company Atlas has announced the acquisition of bespoke Cleaning Services, a successful business based in Thornbury near Bristol.
Supporting 55 clients at over 100 sites from South Wales to the English Midlands, bespoke employs around 1,000 operatives. A large number of its contracts are with educational establishments such as Coleg Gwent, Dudley College of Technology, Walsall College, and South Gloucestershire and Stroud College.
Atlas sees bespoke as a perfect addition to its expanding group, as it offers an opportunity to improve on its education footprint which stretches from children’s nurseries up to universities. There is a well-aligned culture that is reflected in the similar values and ethos of both businesses.
Chris Wisely, CEO of Atlas, said: “I am delighted that Atlas has acquired bespoke, a strong business with an outstanding management team. The deal strengthens our cleaning operations across the Midlands, South West and Wales. Furthermore, welcoming bespoke opens possibilities to introduce wider FM opportunities to their valued clients, as Atlas can also offer engineering maintenance, security services and pest control.”
Jackie Woodall, Managing Director of bespoke Cleaning Services, added: “It is great to become part of the Atlas family. We at bespoke have a commitment to being ‘Infinitely better’ and this fits well with the Atlas purpose of ‘Creating happiness’. We have already started working closely with our new group colleagues and we look forward to all the opportunities that being part of Atlas will bring to us and our wonderful employees.”
