“Building on the strength and potential of both Kingdom Cleaning and Kingdom Services Group, we have major plans to make the company an even higher performing business, delivering added value and high-quality services to our current and future clients. As we embark on this new chapter, I am very much looking forward to working with the team, and our customers, to bring our high-energy ideas to life.”
Rawlins will showcase its range of high-flow fluid extraction machines, including the Kaivac UniVac and AutoVac Stretch, which both make light work of removing greasy substances, leaving a clean and dry surface.
One of the core deliverables of the contract is to deliver the ESG aspirations of Womble Bond Dickinson that includes reaching Net Carbon Zero by 2030. Pareto and Churchill will have a specific focus on reducing emissions via sensor technology, a reduction in the use of single use plastics and greater monitoring of waste.

Werner du Plessis, Sales Director at Denis Rawlins Ltd, said: “Greasy floors are a real problem and pose serious health and safety risks to staff and visitors, if not cleaned properly. Over the years I have met so many business owners who have struggled to win the war on grease, that is, until they adopted our cleaning regimes.
Bowman added: “I truly value the opportunity and it is a privilege to continue working with my colleagues in the UK and Ireland, and throughout the world, towards delivering on our purpose ‘Better Care for a Better World’.
