Interserve has been nominated twice in RoSPA’s prestigious FM Sector category award and has won 13 RoSPA Gold Awards so far this year.

Interserve has been recognised within the FM Sector Award nominations for both the overall service provision and for the facilities services provided specifically for the health sector.  All of the RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards will be presented on Thursday 15th May 2008 at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel.

Interserve’s health and safety expertise is a top priority for the business, proven by its significant collection of awards - 53 RoSPA awards were received in the past three years, 14 of these last year alone, and in both 2006 and 2007 Interserve received the FM Sector Award.  These latest nominations and awards further endorse the company’s impressive health and safety performance.

With a President’s award (received after twelve consecutive gold medals) for Interserve’s defence work, and 13 Gold Awards and 2 Silver Awards being won across the rest of the business, Interserve has shown both its diversity in the provision of Facilities Management services and its commitment to safe working practices in the Local Authority, Defence, Health and Retail sectors.
