Despite rising wages and material costs, uncertainty over the effects Brexit will have, and a ‘race to the bottom’ culture affecting the bottom line, contract


cleaning remains a buoyant and positive market that champions new technology, new ideas and genuine innovation.


In this, our annual supplement dedicated to the contract cleaning market, Cleanology shows us how their focus on sustainability and protecting the environment is reaping the rewards and bringing home awards.


Principle Cleaning Services discusses the many benefits that technology can bring to cleaning companies, both to clients and your company. Simon Freer


of SAF Cleaning investigates the effects of the Taylor Review’s self-employed resourcing reforms, and what the changes mean for contract cleaning companies.


Kaivac takes a closer look at the UK contract cleaning industry and discovers the good and the not-so-good about its current state, while TemplaCMS’ Rick Stoor tries to steer us through the choppy waters of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance.


Thank you very much for reading, and I hope you enjoy the issue!
