Property consultant Hartnell Taylor Cook has given contracts to deliver security and cleaning services at Walsingham House, pictured, in the City of London to Axis Security and sister business Axis Cleaning and Support Services.
Walsingham House offers more than 64,000 square feet of new Grade A office space, after a redevelopment behind the retained Portland stone façade. The ten-storey building, near Fenchurch Street station, has terraces on the top three floors offering views of landmarks.
Axis is providing a core team of front-of-house personnel, adding further staff as the building increases occupancy. The management teams for cleaning and security will work to provide joint contract management upholding Axis’ ‘one team’ approach, the contractor says.
Andrew Goodall, Senior Facilities Manager for Hartnell Taylor Cook said: “We selected Axis as we were looking for a company that had in depth experience in delivering security and cleaning services to high quality greenfield office developments. Since practical completion they have shown a level of flexibility, knowledge and service delivery that you seldom see in their market place.”
And Jonathan Levine, Axis Group CEO says: “We know that there are many benefits to be gained when cleaning and security services are managed with the same seamless approach and many of our clients, like Hartnell Taylor Cook are increasingly recognising this. We look forward to supporting at Walsingham House and providing the tenants with a first-class service.”
