History of Service

 

Q3 offers a comprehensive range of M&E services, both planned and reactive via our hard services team, previously known as Newtons Group, before it became a fully owned subsidiary of Q3.

We are a leading hard services operation that has built a reputation in the facilities management industry as a specialist in critical workplace environments. The team has built up a wealth of knowledge and experience, delivered within strict processes and procedures that are applied to every contract.

Testimonials

I just wanted to send in my thanks to Emma, who helped me on Saturday when my Mum passed out in front of TK Maxx. Emma was very friendly, calm and efficient, I don't know what I would have done without her. She was so professional and knew exactly what was needed I couldn't believe it when screens turned up and a wheel chair, all organised by Emma without making myself or especially my Mum feel stupid or an inconvenience. Please can you pass on mine, my Mum's and family's thanks to Emma, she is a star and a very kind person.
