FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
Dalkia UK has secured a three-year deal at the Royal Academy of Arts (RA) for the delivery of electrical, mechanical and fabric services.
Under the contract terms, Dalkia UK will manage four properties in Kensington, Mitcham and two in Piccadilly on behalf of the RA ensuring 24/7 support across the portfolio.
Dalkia UK says it was chosen for its sector knowledge, expertise and experience, that will help the team focus on maintaining and improving the environmental conditions in the galleries and – by providing expert solutions around metering and energy consumption – can support the RA in achieving its Net Zero strategy.
Dalkia UK will work with the RA to ensure activities are carried out sustainably and responsibly. The team has already begun to create a roadmap to leverage its technical expertise, aligning with the RA’s business strategy and goals to guarantee visitors a consistently great experience.
Stu Brown, Business Unit Director, Dalkia, said of the contract award: “We are delighted the Royal Academy of Arts chose us to take care of their buildings in the heart of London, which house some of the finest art exhibitions in the country. The RA is also a home to the UK’s longest established art school – it’s our genuine privilege to become part of the RA team.”
Natasha Mitchell, Director of Corporate Services at the Royal Academy of Arts commented: “We are pleased to be working with Dalkia and look forward to collaborating with their teams over the coming years in the care and maintenance of our heritage estate.”
