Churchill Group has won the ‘Partners in Sustainability – Large Estates’ award alongside Network Rail High Speed at the esteemed Premises and Facilities Management (PFM) Partnership Awards 2021. The win recognises the positive impact Churchill has had on the environment, including the reduction of waste at St Pancras International.
Churchill has been working with Network Rail High Speed to provide cleaning services to St Pancras International station since 2017, providing a comprehensive service that’s been both innovative and sustainable. St Pancras is a busy commuter hub that saw a footfall of over one million passengers each day prior to the pandemic.
Providing a sustainable service is a key consideration for Churchill with all of its customers. The company launched its Sustainability Charter last year and is investing in solutions to reduce single-use plastic, reduce cleaning chemicals, increase its electric fleet and reduce its carbon footprint.
St Pancras is a more sustainable and eco-friendlier environment with Churchill’s chemical-free cleaning products and PVC-free packaging. Technology has also played a core part in the sustainability journey, assisting St Pancras in managing its waste by improving recycling, and using sensor tech to make informed decisions.
Greg Dingle, London Regional Director at Churchill, commented: “Winning this amazing award alongside our friends at Network Rail High Speed is a true honour. As we gain more and more momentum on our own sustainability journey, it is great to be helping our customers on theirs too. The St Pancras project has been an outstanding achievement for all involved. We have tailored our service to complement their own, providing outstanding innovations in sustainability to meet St Pancras’ needs. We’re delighted to be recognised with this win and credit goes to each and every individual that has contributed in this partnership.”
The PFM Partnership Awards recognises the essential requirements in forging effective partnerships in the FM industry and have been running since 2007.
