As part of the contract, Liberty has committed to creating up to 14 apprenticeships to benefit local people.
Liberty has also secured a contract worth up to £22m with mhs homes to carry out heating system servicing and repairs and installation works on tenant’s homes and commercial properties in Kent. The contract is for five years with options to extend the term up to a maximum an additional five years.
