Paul Worthington, Managing Director of HMS, said: “It’s fantastic to continue our work with Torus and act as their preferred supplier of all repairs and maintenance services. Being able to expand on the services we have delivered for the Group over the past three years is something we’re excited to continue as we have already recorded several successes for Torus and their customers over the years and know we are able to further exceed expectations.

“Quality is central to how we deliver, as we constantly learn, improve and collaborate to ensure that Torus customers influence the repairs and maintenance services they ultimately receive. This iterative approach to delivery has seen us effectively mobilise multiple workstreams and grow alongside the Group, acting as a single provider of a number of vital services."

Continuing, Chief Operating Officer at the Torus Group, Cath Murray-Howard, said: “HMS have a great track record of delivering for our customers and we have numerous examples of how the team has gone above and beyond to support our communities.
