Servest is headquartered and operates in the UK, and Atalian, headquartered in France, operates in Europe, the US, south-east Asia and Africa.
Rob Legge, chairman UK and USA at Servest, said: “At a time when the Brexit deal is creating headlines about the UK’s exit from Europe, this is a genuine story of UK and European harmony and collaboration.
“Many of our multinational or global clients are looking for a more standardised service delivery across geographies and can now benefit from our approach wherever they are based.”
Through its partnership with global ICT services specialist Getronics, the new entity will also focus on further developing its technology-led workspace solutions, including tools focused on workspace management, managed cloud, unified communications and applications.
