Support services

Carillion is one of the UK’s largest support services businesses, but what does that really mean?

Quite simply, it means nearly 20,000 Carillion people working hard behind the scenes to help people go about their lives safely and efficiently.

Throughout the UK, thousands of public and private sector buildings and substantial sections of our transport infrastructure and utilities networks are managed and maintained by Carillion – ensuring they remain legally compliant and fully operational.

Carillion has the in-house skills and resources to manage and deliver all the services needed to operate large property estates to ensure they comply with all of our customers’ demands. We can design and plan the space; we provide all the practical aspects of building maintenance, mechanical and electrical engineering, catering and security; we even devise sophisticated estate management programmes covering risk, safety, waste, and change management – and help customers with energy management and carbon reduction.

One of our greatest strengths is the way we use leading-edge technology to integrate services and deliver nationwide solutions. Our systems can transform the way in which tasks and workforces are managed, and enable both Carillion and our customers to monitor exactly how well we are doing – in terms of service quality, efficiency and cost reduction.

As a trusted partner of Government and blue-chip corporate customers we are responsible for ensuring that their most important buildings remain fully operational.

For example, we provide non-clinical services for many of the UK’s major hospitals. For the Ministry of Defence, we provide integrated services for thousands of locations throughout the UK, including four out of five super garrisons and 43,000 homes for families of service personnel.

In the education sector we a leading supplier of support services for the hundreds of new schools we are delivering under the Building Schools for the Future programme. Even some of our law courts and prisons are looked after by Carillion.

We provide a similar fully integrated service for many thousands of buildings used by some of the country’s best-known business names

Every time you travel – by road rail or air – Carillion is there to speed your journey. We maintain thousands of kilometres of roads and railways and some of the UK’s leading airports including London Heathrow and Gatwick; our consultancy business has been involved in designing and improving airports around the world, as well as advising on airport security.

Carillion’s Utilities business works with many of the UK’s top names in the energy industry to make sure that – whether you’re at home or at work, your telecommunications, gas and electricity services reach you without interruption. We even help power companies cut their own energy bills – our strategy for Centrica saved them 11 per cent.

And it’s not just in the UK – we also have operations in Ireland and mainland Europe, the Middle East and in Canada – all carrying out vital operations to ensure that wherever we are, whatever we do, Carillion people are supporting all of us, every day.

Carillion. Making tomorrow a better place.
