In an expansion of its successful business partnership, HBOS Plc has awarded George S. Hall a full-service facilities-management control for 1200 of its retail site across England and Wales. The agreement covers the retail branch network of high-street brands such as Halifax, Bank of Scotland, Halifax Estate Agents, Birmingham Midshires and the Clerical Medical Insurance Group. The contract is for three years.
