Who we are

We’re a commercial cleaning and support services company, proudly B Corp certified, ethical by design, and focused on building meaningful partnerships—not just ticking boxes.

With 600+ team members and annual revenue exceeding £13M, we’re growing fast with plans to reach £30M by 2030!

We believe in treating each team member as an individual, respecting diversity in thought, culture, ethnicity, and experience. Together, we cultivate accountability and strengthen our workplace.

Who we’re looking for

A sharp, detail‑driven manager who excels in a fast‑paced environment. You will support frontline teams to exceed service expectations and build strong relationships with clients and employees alike.

• Lead & Inspire – motivate, develop, and support cleaning teams to deliver exceptional service.
• Manage Efficiently – oversee recruitment, employee relations, and team performance while fostering a positive, cohesive work environment.
• Ensure Service Excellence – drive compliance with Service Level Agreements (SLAs) across multiple sites.
• Monitor Budgets & Payroll – keep costs in check while ensuring accurate payroll processing.
• Build Relationships – be the go‑to person for customers and employees, ensuring smooth operations and client satisfaction.
• Champion Best Practices – maintain cleaning plans, troubleshoot issues, and think on your feet in a fast‑moving environment.
• Stock Management – ensure all sites have sufficient cleaning materials and consumables.
