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 £15M, we're growing fast with plans to reach £30M by 2030!

We believe in the importance of treating each member of our team as an individual and we respect the diversity of our workforce. By working together, our team members cultivate a sense of accountability. We value the differences and individuality of our team members and believe that the differences in thoughts, culture, ethnicity and experience make our company stronger and a better place to work.

Who we're looking for

A sharp, detail-driven, manager with a passion for delivering top tier service, a person who is used to working in a fast-paced environment where every day brings a new challenge, this is a diverse, hands-on role where you'll support frontline teams to ensure we exceed service expectations, and build strong relationships with clients and employees alike.

A strong communicator able to engage effectively with our team and clients and while not essential, proficiency in Spanish or Portuguese would be highly beneficial as for many of our team their primary language is not English. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds and language abilities.

Manage Efficiently: Oversee recruitment, employee relations, and team performance while fostering a positive, cohesive work environment.
