England – 04/11/2011 – After a tough few years demand for office cleaning London services is taking off again.
The recession hit a lot of service industries pretty hard, especially office cleaning London firms. This was because when firms looked at their overheads they looked at things like stationary, entertainment and cleaning. Almost unbelievably many firms simply dumped their cleaning contractors or cut them back to coming just once a week instead of every night. The logic seemed to be that anyone could clean, so it was OK to tell their workers to clean their own desks.
This mentality coupled with the fact that many firms simply went out of business or upped sticks and moved out of the capital led to office cleaning London firms losing a whole chunk of business almost overnight.
How office cleaning London firms have finally weathered the recession
Naturally an awful lot of office cleaning London firms went to the wall along with their clients. However, those that survived are now benefiting as clients realise the short sightedness of doing away with cleaners. Clients are seeing how illogical it is to waste hours of their workers time getting them to do cleaning. They are appreciating that while the worker who costs them £12-£30 an hour is cleaning they are not being productive. It is a far better use of resources to pay a cleaning firm around £8 an hour to do the cleaning instead. On top of that they have realised it is far more expensive to buy cleaning materials than it is to let a contract cleaner sort all that out for them. The capital’s firms once again want to concentrate on their core business and leave services like cleaning up to an outside contractor. This means that many are re-hiring the very cleaners they sacked 18 months ago.
ITS Cleaning saw an opportunity and took it. In 2009 they formed to pick up the slack and provide clients with a reliable office cleaning London service. Its founder Robert Webb had spent many years running a office fit out, property maintenance and construction business, so knew that the cleaning service his new firm ITS cleaning would be well received. He was right they have grown rapidly.
