On awarding the contract to Mitie, the CEO of London Stansted airport, Andrew Cowan said, “We have been working with Mitie for over seven years and it is a great credit to their team that we are developing our long-standing relationship with this new contract.
“Mitie was awarded the work after a rigorous and technical tender process. Mitie has extensive experience in the sector, and an ability to provide national 24/7 coverage underpinned by advanced technology.”
