Covion’s History
Covion was founded by David Steventon and Frank Rodriguez in 2000. Covion's aim is to offer direct delivery of facilities services that are not part of our customers' core business activities.David and Frank managed this very successfully; growing Covion year on year and turning it into a multi-million pound turn over organisation with the same values and focus on our customers individual requirements. The aim has always been to implement service solutions for our customers’ facilities that balance cost, quality and ultimately service excellence.
In 2007 the Balfour Beatty Group acquired Covion, which has allowed the fast-growing business to have access to new levels of resource, enabling an even wider range of services to be delivered. Covion can now support all areas of the built environment in response to customers growing needs.
Covion supports an impressive portfolio of facilities across the UK with a multi-million pound turnover, and is involved in managing several hundred people directly delivering, co-ordinating and managing a wide range of co-sourced FIS solutions for leading organisations in the UK.
