Compass Group business 14forty has won a three-year contract to provide cleaning, security and managed services at a Solvay chemical plant in Warrington.
The new agreement complements Compass' existing catering service contract for the facility which was awarded to sister brand, Eurest, and took effect from July.
Solvay, a global business with almost 100 sites and 22,000 employees spread over 61 countries, produces an enormous range of materials, chemicals and solutions for industries such as aerospace and healthcare.
Its Warrington site in Cheshire, known as Solvay Interox, manufactures hydrogen peroxide for pulp and paper bleaching, disinfection, environmental treatment, chemical synthesis and aquaculture.
Solvay Interox is an upper-tier COMAH (Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations 2015) site because of the hazardous chemicals present and production processes it operates.
To ensure safety and prevent a chemical incident, the manufacturer constantly assesses the hazards associated with its operations and the controls it employs.
Cleaning teams are responsible for the factory floor, offices, bathrooms, laundry and site restaurant.
Because the plant is COMAH registered, they must have a full understanding of all Solvay’s manufacturing procedures, conduct risk assessments, wear PPE and only go into designated areas when it is safe to do so.
We are delighted to win this contract, extending our already successful relationships, and look forward to supporting these wider range of services for Solvay.
Security is also paramount and 14forty’s officers, who man the gates 24 hours a day, welcome visitors, patrol the perimeter and also undertake rigorous checks of permitted movements in and out of site.
Our teams have done a great job of setting up so far and embedding our people within the contract.

Richard Tarver, plant manager for Solvay Interox, adds: “14forty came to us with a clear plan to address our challenges and what’s more, mobilised and took over the contract in just 30 days at our request, as we wanted a quick turnaround.
“The service has been diligent, professional and of an impeccably high standard.”
