Momentum Group has secured a contract to maintain and manage the facilities at Runcorn Shopping City.

Liverpool-based Momentum, a full-service property services group, has already been working with the retail centre for several years. Now its facilities management division has won a three-year mechanical and electrical maintenance contract.

Momentum FM will be responsible for many of the planned and reactive works that occur within the shopping centre. It will attend each week to carry out multiple activities across the centre.

Runcorn Shopping City, in the heart of the city region town, opened in 1972 and currently welcomes more than 70,000 visitors per week.

It is home to a number of well-known retail names and smaller independents while also offering various community services such as an NHS Outpatient Service.

Centre manager Dave Pearman added: “We share the same values in keeping buildings well maintained, safe and compliant through proactive and reactive maintenance.

“With our combined experiences we look forward to continuing to welcome visitors to Runcorn Shopping City so they can work, shop and stay healthy.”
