Four years into its relationship, this renewal further strengthens their relationship and is the third time that the contract has been extended. Under the terms of the agreement, SWC will continue to provide weekly window cleaning at 438 of the company’s restaurants across the country.
Since SWC started working with the company in 2014, it has focused on ensuring that the restaurants within the contract are maintained to a high standard whilst also keeping disruption to the minimum. This includes reacting quickly to
any issues and delivering an efficient weekly service.
Guy Croot at Pizza Express, said: “SWC has impressed us with their professional, proficient and quality service over the past four years. It is extremely important to us that our restaurants look clean and presentable at all times. We look forward to continuing to develop our relationship with SWC.”

the staff had clear hand washing routines in place. 80% also said that knowing people around them were washing their hands properly would have a positive impact on their state of mind, while one in five said this knowledge would actually make them happier.
Carolyn Moore, Secretariat Director of the Global Handwashing Partnership, said: “Most people today understand the health benefits of hand washing with soap. However, the impact of hand washing goes far beyond health. Global Handwashing Day is an important occasion to make sure we are all washing our hands with soap at critical times and encouraging others to do likewise.”
The Essity study also revealed that clean hands can make us more comfortable when touching and interacting with others. Almost half the respondents said they would be more comfortable shaking hands with people they knew to be practicing proper hand hygiene.
And around three in 10 said they would be more comfortable touching strangers who had cleaned their hands, while 20% said this would make them more comfortable when hugging others or helping someone in need.

A study commissioned by Tork manufacturer Essity in the run-up to Global Handwashing Day on 15 October has revealed that hand washing not only protects against disease, it can also bring happiness, wellbeing and business gains.

Essity’s Stuart Hands added: “Our hands have the power to improve our loved ones’ well-being and washing one’s hands has far-reaching implications on the people around us. That’s something we should all embrace every day – and not only on Global Handwashing Day.”
Other findings of the study were that 80% of respondents washed their hands to protect themselves, while only 10% did so to protect other people. However, around a quarter of those questioned said they would wash their hands more often if they knew it had a positive impact on others.
Essity is an official sponsor of Global Handwashing Day 2018. Organised by the Global Handwashing Partnership, the event aims to increase awareness and understanding of the importance of handwashing with soap as an effective and affordable way to prevent diseases and save lives.
