Pink Hygiene Celebrates Its 1st Anniversary
Washroom and hygiene service provider, Pink Hygiene, marks its 1st Anniversary this month.
Since its launch the company has continued to secure custom from across London, Essex and surrounding counties and, through substantial growth, now holds a healthy portfolio of more than 200 customers.
Based in Essex, Pink Hygiene offers an extensive range of products and services, including feminine hygiene disposal, water management services and washroom hygiene solutions.
Adam Speck, Joint Director said: "We believe that our achievements over the last 12 months come from understanding our customers and providing services that are tailored specifically to them. Customer satisfaction is pivotal and, as we have shown through completing 100% of our services on time, we truly provide an exemplary and unrivalled service.”

The business has much to celebrate as it reflects on its first year of trading, from being certified by BSI with the ISO 14001 for Environmental Management, to bringing innovation to the market with their Scan, Service and Verify proof of delivery technology. Furthermore, to date Pink Hygiene has raised more than £4,000 for Breakthrough Breast Cancer. This has been achieved through donating a percentage of each customer’s annual contract value to the charity, in addition to participating in a variety of fundraising activities.
Barry Marsham, Joint Director added: “The immense success of the past year, and the foundations for future growth are owed in great part to generous support from our customers and our dedicated staff. Within the next year we plan to further increase our industry standing, creating an even stronger position for ourselves amongst our competitors, whilst continuing to deliver the service difference to our customers.”

services. This includes hospital cleaning, patient dining and security.
The trainees on the project have been working in a variety of different roles at the hospital trust. Whilst being overseen by experienced supervisors they have completed tasks such as washing up in the café, preparing food for the patients and delivering consumables to the wards.
As part of their training, the young people have also been working towards qualifications including Health and Safety in the Workplace Level 1, Food Safety Level 1, and training from the British Institute of Cleaning Sciences (BICSc). They will now be taking these skills into the workplace and looking for employment opportunities.
Mark Wittich, Mitie’s Healthcare Director responsible for the contract, said: “We’re committed to helping people from a variety of backgrounds
enter the world of work. The project has been a great success for both the students and our teams and we wish them luck in their future roles.”
Bethany Madigan, Project SEARCH tutor at St George’s, added: “Project SEARCH is a great way of networking between different departments in the hospital. The range of departments we work in means the trainees have an opportunity to learn a variety of skills and meet all sorts of people.”
