EMCOR Flies High with NATS Scooping Two Top Honours
December 19, 2008 - EMCOR Group (UK) has won two awards for its partnership with NATS, the UK’s leading air traffic management provider, at this year’s Premises and Facilities Management (PFM) awards, in the Partners in Facilities Management and Partnering Excellence categories. EMCOR and NATS accepted the awards at a special ceremony, which was held at The Brewery in London and attended by over 600 people from the facilities management sector.

Aspects that impressed the judging panel included John’s level of commitment, enthusiasm and proactive approach.
