To further strengthen its position in the UK market for integrated Facility Services, ISS has acquired Coflex, a leading Facilities Management Company.

Coflex has grown steadily since its inception in 1998. The Sunday Times recently recognised Coflex as one of the most successful companies in the UK. According to The Sunday Times Fast Track 100, Coflex was one of the fastest growing companies in the UK (6^th in 2002 and 33^rd in 2003) and the top facilities and change management organisation.

Coflex has quickly established itself in the commercial blue-chip sector as a leading provider of Facilities Management with clients such as Swiss Re, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Lloyd’s, United Business Media, Equitas, Mapeley and Reality.

The acquisition adds some important new skills to ISS’ integrated Facility Services offering, including Change Management, Procurement & Finance Management, Corporate Property Services, Tenant Management and CAD/Space/Project Management.

 “The acquisition of Coflex adds a range of professional skills to our integrated Facility Services offering. Additionally Coflex’s commitment to their customers and people compliments the ISS philosophy and culture. We very much look forward to working with everyone at Coflex”, David Openshaw, CEO at ISS UK says.

Coflex employs more than 200 people. It is recognised as an “Investor in People”, as is ISS in the UK.

The acquisition of Coflex, along with the recent purchase of the Eaton Group (B&I Catering & Fine Dining) has added more than £60m turnover to ISS in the UK.
