BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Nationwide Industrial & Commercial Cleaning Company
ISO9001/CHAS/ Construction Line Registered
Ref.GC111
Location Nationwide
Asking Price GBP 1,200,000
This very successful commercial contract cleaning company has enjoyed impressive growth since inception, and has developed into one of the leading cleaning companies in its field within the UK offering nationwide coverage. This growth trend is expected to continue, as the companys brand and reputation goes from strength to strength furthermore it continues to develop and offer new services to its extensive and ever growing customer base.
The business specialises in providing all cleaning and hygiene requirements for commercial and industrial premises throughout the UK. It has all the necessary knowledge, training and equipment to provide the most comprehensive cleaning and ongoing maintenance programmes to its clients.
Services include: industrial cleaning, daily contract cleaning, deep kitchen cleaning (Inc. extractor hood and oven), floor clean and sanitation, window/glass cleaning (including high access window cleaning), roof and gutter cleaning, carpet cleaning, high pressure steam cleaning, graffiti removal, flood and fire restoration, drainage works, unblocking and cleaning, new build handover cleaning, hazardous waste removal, pest control and garden/landscape cleaning services.
The company has achieved excellent market penetration, particularly within the care sector and this continues to be one of its core markets. The business also has long term contracts in place with a variety of organisations within both the public and private sector. Clients include the NHS, schools, care homes, private health companies, hotel chains, restaurant chains, retail chains, construction companies, supermarkets, offices and councils.

Expansion Potential
The business currently operates on a national scale and whilst it currently services some 2,000 commercial properties per month there is huge scope for expansion. The care sector alone is seeing huge growth and the trend expected to continue with the ageing population. The construction industry is seeing renewed growth and this business are ideally positioned to service the large main contractors looking for nationwide service provision.

The company has recently opened its own internal training centre and trade depot and both these new offerings are expected to generate new levels of business on a local/regional level. There is an opportunity to roll this out on a larger scale should it prove to be the success that initial uptake suggests it will be.

With a more proactive sales and marketing function a new owner could significantly increase revenues and turnover within the business, both with existing and new clients.
