FHM strenghen public sector business portfolio

An understanding of the needs of its public sector clients has helped Frank Haslam Milan (FHM), a Keepmoat company, develop and innovate new products and services, securing its continued success in the North East region.

The company has stenghtened its public sector business portfolio by securing ten new business wins and is continuing to grow in the North East after securing these back-to-back wins - estimated to be worth more than £50 million.

These new partnerships will see FHM North East:

FHM won the contracts after demonstrating its ability to deliver high quality, good value products and services, and its sensitive approach to working with local communities.

The new wins help to strengthen FHM's already impressive track record within the region and demonstrates their commitment of securing long term employment for local people.
