Why is a safe, clean and hygienic environment important to your organisation?

To present a clean environment for all of our staff is essential; every user in the building will experience something that has been cleaned, numerous times throughout the day. This is reflection on us the facilities department. It’s important that our stakeholders have confidence in the way the site is run.

What’s most important to you in a cleaning service?

It is important to have trust, knowing each day we will walk into the same high standards we have always set, nothing less.

Consummate!

What advice would you give to any organisation in your sector looking for a cleaning company right now?

Talk to other companies and facility teams to gain feedback, it’s the most accurate way to gain an impartial and honest review of the services you will get. And from the start set out the standards you wish to achieve.
