The Bromborough-based firm, which provides a range of mechanical and electrical engineering, heating and ventilation, facilities management and commercial fit-out services, successfully tendered to manage the gas and plumbing infrastructure across the University’s teaching and accommodation sites.

It has also secured the contract to manage and maintain air conditioning systems throughout the college’s estate in Liverpool city centre and been appointed to its minor works framework, again following a competitive tender process.

Kimpton already works on behalf of several education providers in and around the Liverpool City Region, including St Helens College, Warrington Vale Royal College, Liverpool Hope University and LIPA, where it has provided full HVAC services for more than 30 years.

It also supports dozens of local schools, including Archbishop Blanch, Cardinal Newman, Winsford Academy, The Grange School and Greenbank College.

Matt Breakwell, business development director at Kimpton, said:

“We have a proud track record of working with education institutions, operating in ways that meet their bespoke needs and sensitivities and developing effective, lasting relationships.

“An important aspect of those relationships is our shared commitment to improving the outlook for local young people. By working with schools, colleges and universities to offer insight into future green skills, support curriculum development and provide apprenticeships, we hope to better connect institutions with industry and create a strong future workforce.”
