CLEANING London cleaning and soft FM services specialist Julius Rutherfoord & Co has rebranded to highlight its focus on delivering secure commercial cleaning.


The new look has been rolled out across all corners of the business, including the company’s website, social media platforms, staff uniforms, vehicle graphics and signage. The Tramshed HQ in Battersea has also been refurbished to reflect its business ethos, encourage staff success, and


continue to champion the importance of a healthy workplace.


The new logo is a central focus, incorporating the ‘secure commercial cleaning’ strapline and emphasises the ‘& Co’ part of its name.


Marcus Heap, Sales and Marketing Director at Julius Rutherfoord & Co, said: “When organisations outsource cleaning and FM services, they need to be secure in the knowledge that they will be supported with exceptional service.


“Our workforce excellence starts with our rigorous recruitment procedures, which includes an innovative biometric ID system. We invest in the professional development of our staff, providing ongoing, tailored training to ensure they work carefully and safely. We pay above the minimum wage, and wherever possible the London Living Wage.


“Contracts are managed transparently to support this success and our contract management app increases quality, efficiency and security for our discerning clients. Our rebrand reflects this investment in staff, technology and systems with the prime focus being that our clients know they are in safe hands.”

The contract – worth £17m over five years – represents another significant win for OCS, with the company having recently secured a number of major healthcare contracts both domestically and internationally.


Petra Moss, Managing Director for OCS Healthcare and Education, commented: “We are incredibly privileged to support this new chapter in the history of one of Europe’s leading hospitals. We know we play our part in enabling clinical excellence and every member of the team will be focused on improving the patient experience. This win is testament to OCS’s expertise and exceptional standards in healthcare environments.”

The company will also run waste management, segregation and recycling sessions for staff and students to help them reduce their environmental impact. This will be supported with the installation of new waste segregation recycling bins across the sites.


The contract will also provide benefits to cleaning staff working in the schools. Specialist equipment, such as trollies and mopping systems, has been selected to reduce staff fatigue, lower the risk of repetitive strain injury and potential hazards.


Ian Surtees, Chief Executive Officer at Vertas Group, said: “We welcome Skanska as a new client and very much look forward to looking after these five schools, allowing teachers and school staff to focus on education and pastoral care, while we support Skanska in providing exceptional learning spaces.”
