According to a notice posted yesterday (22 February) on the myroyalmail.com website, Royal Mail Property & Facilities Solutions is responsible for one of the largest corporate real estates in Europe, with more than 2,600 sites.

Its service includes:

• the provision of quality cleaning and engineering solutions
• the management of external contracts such as gritting, waste disposal and window cleaning
• the maintenance and upgrading of the estate
• lease management
• and purchase/sales activity.

Martin Gafsen, Group Director of Property & Facilities Solutions, commented: ‘I’m delighted to say that after years of being fragmented, all our estates and FM services for Royal Mail Group today come together under a new name and smart new logo. Over the next few months we will talk to customers and our teams about how to build on this momentous step in order to provide the best possible service for Royal Mail.’
