Kier has reorganised its facilities management arm by merging Kier Managed Services with Kier Building Services Engineers.

The new division, Kier Facilities Services, will be headed by Colin Hale, who was appointed managing director of KMS in April this year.

The combined division will turn over more than £120m and employ 1,200 staff at four offices in London, Cardiff, Sheffield and Basingstoke.

Hale said: “KFS is equipped to offer a one-stop solution for the whole lifecycle of clients’ property requirements, from design and installation of building services to the long-term care and maintenance of their built environment.

The restructure is part of Kier’s drive to adapt its business to the credit crunch. John Dodds, Kier’s chief executive, said in May: “Kier has been roughly this shape for a very long time.”
