Greece is looking to reintroduce the Drachma, Rangers file to go into Administration, Japan declares its economy is worse than forecast. All sad symptoms of the continuing financial struggles we are all facing globally. Unfortunately, even the cleaning industry has been hit by the recession, and it is never a nice thing to see even one of your competitors succumb to the slump as has happened earlier this month to the incumbent contract cleaners for Rosebery Housing Association.
On a cold Tuesday morning, the Epsom based Housing Association found themselves without their cleaners and had to urgently respond to continue servicing their 120 sites across North Surrey. They approached Chequers to come up with a contingency plan to provide a seamless transition due to the loss of their contractor who immediately stepped into the fold. Having met with Rosebery on the Wednesday to discuss their needs, by Friday the Chequers’ team had inspected, recruited for, and mobilised staff to service all 120 sites for an on-going temporary agreement pending the contract going to Tender.
We had originally come 2ndin the 2010 tender bid by a horse’s nose, but due to keeping our good relationship with Rosebery Housing, we have shown that helps to be customer centric, even if they aren’t your customers!
