JLL has appointed Andron Facilities Management as the cleaning and soft FM partner at Aberdeen’s largest shopping centre.
In the heart of the city, Union Square offers stylish shopping with over 50 fashion and lifestyle stores. The centre opened in 2009 with a hotel, a 10-screen multiplex cinema, and almost 30 restaurants.
As part of the three-year contract mobilised in June 2024, Andron, which was founded and headquartered in Aberdeen, delivers daily commercial cleaning, periodic and window cleaning, washroom services, and pest control.
Embracing Union Square’s sustainability commitments, Andron has incorporated green cleaning practices into its soft service delivery. Its commitment to net zero is also embedded in the contract. For example, the local management team will use only electric vehicles.
Union Square marks Andron’s largest Aberdeen cleaning contract to date.
Commenting on the contract award, Ron Stewart, co-founder and Chairman, Andron said: “We’re incredibly proud of this new partnership with Union Square. This win almost seems like a full-circle moment for Andron, as our big break in some respects was when we landed the contract for Aberdeen’s Bon Accord Shopping Centre back in 1990. Cleaning shopping centres opened a whole new world for us. It took us out of Aberdeen and allowed us to expand nationally.
“Despite our growth, we have a deep connection to our Aberdeen roots, so it’s always a privilege when we win local contracts. We look forward to working with Union Square over these next three years as we take on the responsibility of supporting their exceptional retail and leisure offering.”
