05-09-2011

Eight of the UK’s largest building services contractors have begun an extensive employee consultation on the introduction of a unified national agreement for mechanical, electrical and plumbing operatives.

The proposed Building Engineering Services National Agreement (BESNA) – which has been developed by the HVCA in partnership with the eight companies, seeks to provide equal pay and terms and conditions of employment to operatives across all three disciplines, along with a revised grading structure that will create increased opportunities for employee training and advancement and workforce flexibility.

The major contractors involved in the development of the new agreement are: N G Bailey, Balfour Beatty Engineering Services, T Clarke, Crown House Technologies, Gratte Brothers, MJN Colston, Shepherd Engineering Services and SPIE Matthew Hall.
