LiveWest Homes Ltd Appoints Shield Asbestos Services to Framework

Shield’s Bristol, Exeter and Truro Branches Will Provide Services to South West Housing Provider

LiveWest owns and manages over 40,000 homes across the South West, from Cornwall to Gloucestershire, offering homes for affordable rent and shared ownership sale.

LiveWest also builds homes for private sale, the profits from which are then used to provide and build more affordable homes, with the aim of alleviating the region’s housing shortage, including ambitious plans to invest £1bn in the South West economy and build 5,000 new affordable homes in the region over the next five years.

The three-year asbestos removal framework, estimated at £3m, is made up of four lots and comes with the option of a further year.  Shield was involved in the previous framework and has improved its offering to take a prime position in three of the four lots.  All of the works will be managed by our team in Truro.

Dean Howe, Shield Services Group’s Business Development Director, commented, “This is a great tender win for Shield and allows us to continue assisting LiveWest who are making great strides within the social housing sector.”

Paul Lillis, Shield Asbestos Services Managing Director, reflected, “With the strength of our branch network across the South West, we will be able to provide LiveWest and their residents with the best of service as we assist in providing great places to live.“
