Skyline Robotics and Principle Cleaning
Services announce partnership Skyline Robotics has announced a partnership with Principle Cleaning Services that will bring the award- winning window cleaning Ozmo robot to the London skyline.
Principle, a market leader in providing corporate, commercial cleaning in London, will be the exclusive provider of Ozmo in the capital and will start planning an operational rollout for the London market, transforming Principle’s window cleaning offering.
The partnership goes beyond window cleaning, with the ultimate goal of delivering ESG monitoring to the building envelopes in London, to provide data, insights and analytics on a building’s facade health.
Skyline Robotics’ flagship robot, Ozmo, combines artificial intelligence, machine learning and computer vision with advanced robotics and sensors. With Ozmo, window cleaning can be performed up to three times faster than humans, without putting workers at risk.
Additionally, as Ozmo is operated by humans, it's not replacing human window cleaners, but is accelerating a future where humans and robots work together. The result is a smarter, faster, safer and more economical alternative to human window cleaners.
Michael Brown, CEO of Skyline Robotics, said: “Having demonstrated Ozmo’s value in New York City, we’re excited to expand operations and partner with Principle to bring our robots to London. London has more BMUs than the rest of Europe combined, making it a key global geographic location to showcase the impact automation can have to help achieve business growth.”
Tom Lloyd, Principle Cleaning Services’ CEO, added: “Principle is committed to investing in a future where humans and robots work collaboratively together. Through this
partnership with Skyline Robotics, we’re securing all future capabilities to service customers for decades to come.
“Our clients always expect us to deliver new value and innovations to them as leading asset managers in our market. Our pillars are people, sustainability and innovation, and with Ozmo we feel we’re not just meeting but exceeding expectations.”
Skyline Robotics is the recipient of a 2023 RBR50 Robotics Innovation Award for its Ozmo robot. Additionally, the company has received a 2023 PropTech Breakthrough Award for Construction Robotics Solution of the Year, and was named to the 2023 BuiltWorlds Robotics 50 List.

Industry leader responds to Keir
Starmer’s words about cleaning staff The leader of one of the UK’s biggest and most important industries has responded to Keir Starmer’s speech at Labour Conference, in which he referred to “No more cleaners mocked, as they scrub mess off the walls of illegal parties in Westminster.”
Delia Cannings, Chair of the British Cleaning Council (BCC), said: “While it is pleasing to hear Mr Starmer highlight the shocking way cleaning staff were treated at Downing Street during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, his words need to be backed by action should his party win the next election, or they risk being empty political posturing.
“Our industry is calling for recognition for the vital, frontline work that skilled and professional cleaning staff do in keeping

the public safe, healthy and well, and for cleaning and hygiene to be made a national priority in order to save lives.
“We want the Labour Party to commit to adopting the recommendations of last year’s MPs report, Embedding Effective Hygiene for a Resilient UK, should they come to power, or they are gambling with people’s lives.
“The report’s recommendations will make the UK more resilient to current common infections such as flu and also better prepared for future public health emergencies – like a future pandemic. The recent rise in COVID cases highlights how hugely important it is that we learn the lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We have written to Mr Starmer’s office previously to ask to discuss key industry issues, but without success, and we will ask again for an urgent meeting with his team.”
