Gleeds extends JD Sports contract

摘要

Consultancy Gleeds has secured a two-year extension to its facilities management contract with fashion retail brand JD Sports, thought to be worth £5m. Gleeds has been providing a service desk as well as commercial cost and supply chain management to over 500 JD Sports stores since 2006. Gleeds declined to reveal the value of the deal, however Building understands the contract extension is likely to be worth in the region of £5m. Under the new contract, JD sports will use Gleeds' FM2 - a paperless financial management system that will enable the retailer to share facilities data with business partners via a web-based helpdesk. Stuart Ball, director of Gleeds Energy, was responsible for the contract. He said he was "delighted" to renew its relationship with JD Sports.
