| Lovell expands with Powerminster Gleeson Services acquisition Morgan Sindall Group's affordable housing division Lovell is set for a major expansion of its housing maintenance business with the acquisition of Powerminster Gleeson Services ("Powerminster") from MJ Gleeson Group plc. All Powerminster's contracts, and the company's 178-strong workforce, will transfer to Lovell Respond, the Lovell response maintenance business. The move brings together the two businesses' complementary expertise and geographical presence to significantly enhance the range of services offered by Lovell to its social housing partners. Powerminster delivers comprehensive planned and reactive maintenance solutions, including a 24/7 responsive service, to the social housing sector. It specialises in providing long-term estate management services on Private Finance Initiative (PFI) schemes. Lovell Respond's current business is mainly focussed on the Midlands, whilst Powerminster has a strong presence in the North West, North East and South East of England. Bringing the two together creates a leading reactive maintenance and estates management services business. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
