Rob Legge, Servest Group CEO UK and Europe, said: “The world is becoming a smaller place and we have seen that businesses are now looking for unified solutions that bring their communities together”
“We wanted to offer our customers a pan European solution with a partner that operates with the same cultural and business philosophies as adopted by Servest in the UK.”
Matthieu de Baynast, CEO of International at Atalian, said: "Both organisations have very like-minded business approaches based on an entrepreneurial strategy where organic and acquisitive growth are of equal importance."
Servest and Atalian will continue to operate in their respective regions and the joint venture will be utilised for opportunities where both companies have an operational presence.
Together the facilities management businesses have a combined reach of 140,000 colleagues, across 27 countries in Europe, North America, South-East Asia and Africa.
