Medway Norse Limited Information

For 24 years Norse Group has been pioneering a radical and cost-saving approach to delivering public services – from asset management to front-line services – by joining forces with the public sector to form Joint Venture Companies (JVCs). Working in harmony with local councils and other public sector organisations through dynamic partnerships, Norse has increased cost efficiency, raised standards of delivery and added social value: from more efficient design, management and maintenance of public buildings to healthier school meals, cleaner premises, improved school transport, tidier streets and integrated waste and recycling. The first of its kind in the South East, Medway Norse brings together Norse Commercial Services and Medway Council in a dynamic local authority Joint Venture Company (JVC). Medway Norse provides facilities management services which include cleaning, catering and maintenance for the council’s 140 buildings and for other local organisations, thereby protecting front line services for the people of Medway while providing value for money. Working with progressive councils like Medway, Norse uses its experience and commercial expertise to deliver cost savings, preserve local jobs and maintain high quality service delivery. Adding social value, Medway Norse is committed to spending 40% of its budget with local SMEs, reflecting the firm’s commitment to supporting the local economy. The company also provides apprenticeships and work experience for local jobseekers.
