ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services Stoke, which specialises in school and education cleaning, medical care facilities and commercial premises, has scooped ServiceMaster’s most prestigious honour ahead of over 200 other businesses at the company’s 2015 national conference in Warwickshire.

The Marion E. Wade Award of Excellence is the pinnacle of achievement within the ServiceMaster network and Tony Quinn, managing director of ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services Stoke, was quick to pay tribute to his staff after collecting the accolade.

He said: “This is a massive achievement for the company and is testament to the hard work of the entire team. The company has had a real focus to its work over the past year and we’ve won a number of high profile school cleaning contracts as a result. This award will give us an extra boost to achieve even more over the next year.”

Gemma Quinn, operations director for the company, commented: “I’m so proud that our team here has been recognised amongst the many businesses in the network. We pride ourselves on our quality of service in all sectors but with our growing reputation for schools and academies, our aim is to be the number one choice for school cleaning in Stoke.”

ServiceMaster’s managing director, Alan Lewin, added: “ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services Stoke has displayed the highest achievement in the pursuit of excellence and professional management in the ServiceMaster tradition. Tony and his team have shown superb results and they are a real asset to the ServiceMaster franchise network.”

ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services Stoke has been trading for 19 years and employs over 300 people across Staffordshire.

Winners of the Marion E. Wade award, first presented in 1985 and named after the founder of ServiceMaster, receive an engraved wooden plaque and an all-expenses paid trip to the company’s Partners Achievement Seminar in the USA the following year.

 

Senior Technician celebrates 25 years with specialist cleaning company

A local domestic and commercial, specialist cleaning company is celebrating as one of its senior technicians completes 25 years’ service, having joined as a fresh-faced, 17 year old.

Wayne Goff, from Dorchester began his career with ServiceMaster Clean Dorset and Wessex in 1990, after leaving Thomas Hardye School in Dorset.  Since joining ServiceMaster Clean, he has risen through the ranks to now oversee disaster restoration cleaning projects for the company and can often be seen driving throughout the area in his bright yellow van. Qualifying as a British Damage Management Association Senior Technician in 2008, Wayne works with residential customers and on insurance claims, helping to clean and restore property and possessions after water or fire damage.

Wayne said: “I thoroughly enjoy my work with ServiceMaster Clean, serving the people of Dorset and Wessex. The company has changed a lot over 25 years but remains dedicated to providing the best service to customers.”

Owner of ServiceMaster Clean Dorset and Wessex, Yvonne Brien added: “Wayne has been an invaluable member of staff over his 25 years with us. He’s developed from a young boy into a man and has regular customers who request that he comes to clean their carpets and soft furnishings.”

Miss Sayer of Dorchester added: “Wayne has been cleaning our carpets and sitting room furniture for over 12 years and has always given us excellent service. He is cheerful and a real credit to ServiceMaster Clean.”

ServiceMaster Clean Dorset and Wessex has been trading from its base on the Grove Trading Estate since 1989 and also operates a furniture repair and restoration business, Furniture Medic.

ServiceMaster Clean supports charity ‘ColLegtion’

In early April, ServiceMaster Clean supported Leicestershire-based charity Legs4Africa in a 800 mile, UK-wide road trip to collect prosthetics legs from hospitals, clinics, businesses and private donors. The company donated a bright yellow ServiceMaster Clean van, which was used for the ‘ColLegtion’ and will continue to be used by Legs4Africa for further projects and initiatives.

Alan Lewin, MD of ServiceMaster Clean added: “We were delighted to support Legs4Africa, a local charity doing excellent work for those in need. It was great to see the donated van being put to use straight away and we hope it serves them well in years to come.”

Tom Williams, Founder of Legs4Africa said: “It brings me great pleasure when we arrange these collegtions, the staff at each hospital are always so friendly and pleased to see the legs going where they will make a difference and not headed for the incinerator. It’s also a great opportunity to meet some of our individual donors which helps bring home a personal touch, for example hearing some of the stories from Danielle, one of our donors, about her dad and his wishes for his legs to help others in a less privileged country is really heart felt and really brings home the personal aspect to all these prosthetic donations.”
