Facilities management and building services provider, Inviron, has been appointed by Airbus, one of the world's leading aircraft manufacturers, to provide technical  facilities management at its two UK sites - Filton in Bristol, and Broughton, North Wales.

Inviron's engineers will be responsible for the planned preventative and reactive maintenance programme for the mechanical and electrical systems at both locations, including airfield maintenance, high and low voltage services, compressed air and building and fabric infrastructure.

Filton is already familiar to Inviron, as they have been providing services there for a number of years.  This location covers around one square mile and has a mix of manufacturing facilities, office buildings and an airfield, accommodating approximately 4,000 employees.  Airbus' Broughton facility includes two industrial areas. The largest, at over 83,500 square metres, houses the manufacturing and wing assembly for the A380 airliner.  Airbus (in)directly employs 6,000 people across the entire site.

Tom McGuinness, general manager, Inviron, said: "We're delighted to have won this contract which adds to our already successful partnership with Airbus and they can be assured that our teams will continue to provide the first-class service expected."
