INTERSERVE WINS £0.5bn CONTRACTS

Interserve, the international support services and construction group, has won a series of new contracts in the UK and across the Middle East. Together with the £63 million St Helens schools contract announced in December these are worth an aggregate of more than £0.5 billion. They are:

UK

schools within the Sandwell Building Schools for the Future ("BSF")

programme, and the facilities management at the schools thereafter worth

£50 million over 25 years.

ProCure21 framework programme, including associated mechanical and

each over a two-year period, worth an aggregate £8 million.

Adrian Ringrose, Interserve Chief Executive, commented, "The spread of these new contracts across our markets shows that our ability to win new work remains strong on a broad front. Our strategy of focusing on support services and construction, whether together or as separate services, is clearly an attractive proposition for many clients."
