Intelligent Office wins £3.5m deal

INTELLIGENT Office UK, a Scottish provider of managed office services to the legal sector, has secured a £3.5 million contract that further consolidates its expansion into the south of England.

The Clackmannanshire company's five-year outsourcing deal with Moore Blatch will involve managing administrative services at all five of its offices, including front of house, hospitality, print and mail room, facilities, health & safety, records management and core goods procurement.

Intelligent Office, which launched its outsourcing arm in 2002 and has seen its turnover increase ten-fold during that time, has experienced sustained growth in recent years.

Margaret Lang, chairman of the company, said: "This contract win further underlines a growing market acceptance of outsourcing to allow law firms to drive efficiency, make cost savings, improve service levels and compete more effectively in a crowded market."

The firm now provides managed office services at 26 sites throughout Britain and employs more than 350 staff, including 24 transferring from Moore Blatch.
