Why clients choose CBES
One service or the full lifecycle
Every client is different, so we develop our services around you: your buildings, your priorities and your budget, rather than a one-size-fits-all package. We work as an extension of your team, focused on long-term value rather than lowest cost, and keep improving the service throughout our relationship.
Service excellence
From a single project to a long-term maintenance programme, we bring the same standards to every job. Our own engineers and specialist teams deliver our maintenance and specialist services, and on construction projects we manage the whole job as principal contractor, with clear communication and minimal disruption to your operations.
Health, safety, environment & social value
Our Home Safe Every Day commitment means safety comes first on every job, for our people, your people and the public. We create lasting social value through local jobs, apprenticeships and community projects, and we’re cutting our own carbon and helping clients do the same as we work towards Net Zero by 2040.
Our Partners
Clear planning on every project
Over the past 18 months Lea Green Depot has had significant projects ongoing. The on-site team have supported each project with pre-start meetings, clear plans, drawings and targeted goals. All works completed by the CBES team has been a positive experience for myself and the depot team. The team are professional, responsive, and from what I have seen very capable!
Jamieson Eassom - Depot Operations Manager , Co-op
Works in a live trading store
I'm really impressed with how the project was run, I had clear communication from the start on the details of the project and throughout on the progress the team were making. The team were all friendly and courteous and worked around the store operation, not once did they get in the way of our operation to serve the customer. Overall, the project was well managed and delivered, I couldn't ask for any more!
Matt Rees - Store Manager, Marks and Spencer
Confidence that colleagues are safe
City provide a fantastic level of support, giving us confidence that our colleagues are safe and receive gold standard service. We can sleep easier at night knowing we have a strong first line of property defence.
It’s humbling to hear about some of the truly remarkable individuals within our supply chain that put 100% into the Co-op contracts week in, week out. We look forward to our continued partnership together.
Claire Costello - Chief Procurement Officer, Co-op
