Client Background
Tony Dolling is the Facilities Manager at Burton and South Derbyshire College, responsible for overseeing site safety, security, maintenance, and cleaning across the college’s campuses. Managing cleanliness and security across these critical areas requires a reliable and responsive team, especially for essential tasks like opening and securing the College.
Challenge
The College is open to students, staff and visitors 52 weeks per year so it is vital that they have a committed, reliable and flexible cleaning team in place. Not only does this ensure the longevity of the building but is key to a positive experience for everyone visiting the College.
With a small Porterage Team, the absence of just one person could significantly impact both the team and the overall functioning of the College. The need for a solution to enhance operational resilience in porterage services was clear.
Objectives
Tony sought outsourcing solutions to ensure the college had a dedicated and well-managed cleaning team that felt valued and that they belonged to the College. We were able to supply a full cleaning team, Supervisor and janitors to cover the entire site in Burton Town Centre and the Construction Academy in Swadlincote.
Two dedicated porters were also provided for shift work. The goal was to cover key tasks such as site access management, general porterage, and minor repairs without compromising on service quality.
Conclusion
“We’ve worked with Peter and the Spotless team before, so we invited them to assess how they could support our needs. The result was a solution that not only met our operational requirements but also fit within our budget. Spotless provides us with a dependable cleaning service across our sites and two porters who have become an integral part of the wider team. Their regular site visits ensure everything is on track, and the service consistently exceeded expectations.”
