MORE than 100 jobs will be coming to town after a facilities management and engineering maintenance firm moves to town.

Arcus FM, a joint venture between Arcus Solutions and Sainsbury’s, has outgrown its base at Hartlebury and is to move to Oakenshaw House, on Clews Road.

Call centre operations and a technical performance engineering hub will transfer across and bring with it up to 120 new jobs.

The firm as a whole employ around 1,000 people, it has its head office at Upminster in east London, a major base in Glasgow, with field engineers up and down the country.

While Sainsbury’s is by far its biggest client, it is branching out and seeking to tender for new business.

CEO of Arcus FM Chris Green said: “We have outgrown our offices on Hartlebury Trading Estate and needed something larger. And, given the planned growth of the non-Sainsbury’s arm, we were conscious of the need for somewhere which would promote a smart image.

"Oakenshaw House fits the bill.”

The company hopes to begin the move around the end of August.

Ben Truslove, from property agents John Truslove which helped sort the move, said: “This is great news for Redditch and the surrounding area, being one of the largest office lettings in the county in the last 10 years.

“It is a huge coup and further emphasises the town’s attractiveness for service companies who need good communications and quality road access.”
