History
Originally founded in the USA in 1980, the European operation, established in 1992, HBI provides a comprehensive service capability from our offices in Belfast, Dublin, Cork and Galway as well as in London and Leeds. HBI can therefore offer national and local coverage to support an ever growing and diverse range of blue-chip customers across the UK, Ireland and Northern Europe.
Our Team
HBI remains a pioneer of the latest developments, and because these developments are increasingly wide-ranging we have a policy of employing experts from diverse scientific and engineering backgrounds. For example, our people hold qualifications in Microbiology, Environmental Science, Building Engineering, Risk Management, energy Management and Health & Safety, to name but a few of their specialities. All are actively encouraged to to pursue further training and research, so we can be sure of offering clients the very latest information.
We also enjoy an active involvement with outside expertise, through our links with institutions including:
- Legionella Control Association
- Water Management Society
- Charted Institute of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE)
- British Institute of Facilities Management (BIFM)
- British Standards Institution (BSI)
- Institute of Healthcare Engineering and Estate Management (IHEEM)
