Saltire’s history
Saltire Facilities Management was founded in 2000 as a public/private partnership with North Lanarkshire Council. Initially operating as an in-house facilities division, it was later sold to the majority shareholder, becoming a private entity.
Saltire has dramatically expanded operations over the last two decades, and although still based in North Lanarkshire, now operates across Scotland and Northern England. We currently serve more than 120,000 social housing tenants and private homeowners, and offer a wider range of services than ever before. With expert Renewables, Gas Services, and Electrical Divisions operating dozens of public sector contracts across the country, Saltire has become the foremost property services companies.
