Contract win sees ISS expand in stadia sector

ISS Facility Services has won a contract to deliver event and general cleaning services at Townsville's Dairy Farmers Stadium for the next two years.

The contract will build on ISS existing stadium cleaning contracts, which includes Brisbane Cricket Ground (The Gabba), the Melbourne Cricket Ground and Adelaide's AAMI Stadium.

The 26,500 capacity Dairy Farmers Stadium (pictured), home to the NRL's North Queensland Cowboys, NRL team, is managed by Stadiums Queensland - the organisation which manages, operates and promotes the use of major sporting and entertainment facilities on behalf of the Queensland Government.

ISS National Manager Business Development for the leisure and entertainment sector Bruce Smith explains "this is ISS' second contract with Stadiums Queensland (and) we will certainly be looking to apply the experience and learnings attained at other venues in our work at Dairy Farmers Stadium.

"We have a strong local presence in Townsville with the airport and City Council contracts. We look forward to working with Dairy Farmers Stadium and the North Queensland Cowboys to ensure a clean and safe environment, and helping to provide the best possible match day experience for patrons."

The ISS management team has worked hard to understand the unique nature of the site and the issues faced, in order to provide the most effective solution. ISS will commence services for the contract at Dairy Farmers Stadium from the end of February 2012.
