UK facilities management company Mitie is supporting Britain’s efforts to fight the Coronavirus pandemic by providing services for five Covid-19 test centres.

The centres, located in Penrith, Inverness, Bournemouth, Perth and Llandudno are part of the UK’s response to the pandemic.

Mitie, headquartered in London, is supporting each site by providing critical clinical waste management and security services, such as traffic management and lane support.

Using its expertise in these areas, Mitie will help ensure that the centres meet their testing targets which are essential for identifying people with Covid-19 and therefore limiting the spread of the infection.

The Inverness site was the first to open on April 25, with the centre in Bournemouth on April 26. Penrith is due to open on April 28, with Perth and Llandudno set to open later this week.

Mitie will have as many as 300 employees working across the five sites.
