ABM has secured a contract win with HS1 Ltd, the organisation responsible for owning and operating High Speed 1 (HS1), the UK's only high-speed railway. Under this new agreement, ABM's expert team will deliver an extensive range of services, including mechanical, electrical, HVAC, combustion, refrigeration, security, and cleaning at Ashford International Train Station.

HS1 Ltd's decision to award ABM this contract speaks to the company's expertise in the transport sector and diverse offering. With a track record of delivering high-quality services in this field with the likes of Transport for London (TfL) and a deep understanding of the industry's unique requirements, the HS1 contract further solidifies ABM's reputation in the sector.

Bobby Thomson-O’Connor, Divisional Director at ABM, said: "We’re delighted to have been awarded the contract to deliver comprehensive facility services at Ashford International Train Station. ABM has consistently demonstrated its commitment to creating cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable environments across various sectors. This opportunity aligns perfectly with our mission, and we look forward to partnering with HS1 Ltd to ensure the highest standards of service delivery for this iconic high-speed rail line."

Jay Newton, Head of Stations Engineering and Operations at HS1 Ltd: We are very pleased to award ABM the contract to maintain and deliver facility services at Ashford International Train Station. ABM is a leader in integrated facility services and alongside core maintenance obligations will ensure that Ashford is fully prepared and ready to welcome passengers whenever Eurostar take the decision to re-start International services.”

The contract with HS1 Ltd is set to span five years, during which ABM will deploy its industry-leading expertise and dedicated teams to ensure Ashford International Train Station remains a secure, efficient, and pristine facility for passengers and visitors.
