Facilities Management
Sanctuary Management Services was set up in 2001 to respond to the growing demand for the provision of tenancy and broader Facilities Management services in the NHS, Further Education and PFI markets. In particular, this subsidiary of the Sanctuary Group specialises in the provision of Facilities Management and Accommodation Services to health workers and students, through leasehold and freehold arrangements with NHS trusts, Universities and Colleges, and the provision of Facilities Management services as part of PFI arrangements.
Accommodation Services
In 2007, Sanctuary Management Services acquired the Student Housing Portfolio of Shaftesbury Housing Association which brings with it further expertise in direct letting, on-line systems, services and marketing.
