One of the most familiar and well-worn phrases I have heard over the past week is, \u2018it\u2019s business as usual.\u2019 While governments and the Chancellor work out how best to support us all financially now and in the near future, as business owners and employees, we\u2019re still doing what we know best: getting on with business as usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet this does now feel like a brave new world. Many of us have staff working at home, others are key workers, going about their business like the superheroes we need them to be. In our business, our cleaning teams are phenomenal. They are highly trained and have been giving their all, working extra shifts to provide additional cleaning and deep cleans to support businesses far and wide to keep on operating for as long as possible. We thought it would be helpful to summarise the different options we\u2019ve got to help businesses keep on going, what\u2019s available for clients and what\u2019s possible if you\u2019re needing extra cleaning help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For us, it has to be business as usual. We are the unseen team of workers who come and sanitise your offices, schools, gyms and factories either before you arrive or after you leave. You may well have a skeleton staff in right now, practising social distancing and working to keep your customers satisfied and reassured. If you\u2019re an existing client, you will already have heard from me or David, our Operations Director or from one of our Regional Directors, Grant, Igors, Hugh or Alex and our \u2018phones are on and we\u2019re available for you whenever you need us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We use an environmentally friendly cleaning solution, which combined with rigorous cleaning regimes already protects you, your staff and visitors to your premises against Covid-19 and other infections for up to 24 hours following each clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since the beginning of last month (February 2020), we\u2019ve been concentrating on additional focused work, sanitising areas that enjoy high volumes of handling \u2013 everything from door and kettle handles to microwave buttons and toilet flushes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re committed to protecting your working environment and have, on request, been installing additional hand sanitisers around key areas of sites and offices. Any new clients have been able to come onboard by getting in touch and we are still hearing from people looking for a high level deep clean for their businesses, perhaps for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve also been providing special cleans for clients, and in the event of a confirmed case of Covid-19, we can provide a specialist service which deep cleans your entire premises, every surface, using a \u2018fog\u2019 to kill Covid-19 for up to 14 days. This will mean that if you are running a skeleton staff, they can come in, confident you have done everything possible to protect them from infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve tried to keep this to an affordable price and while every site or office has its own specifics and will need to be surveyed by our contractor, the average price is \u00a3500 + VAT. We can offer either same day or next day for this service as I write \u2013 but of course, this may change so do contact us and have that conversation with us so that you know where you stand when you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will also work with you for the best outcome for everyone because we completely understand that this will cause considerable upheaval for you all as you manage your staff and work out your next steps forward. The good news is that if we do a deep clean, you won\u2019t need to close your premises because of the high level of sanitisation this clean provides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like everyone else, all our staff are being monitored and are following the most stringent hygiene routines, based on the latest advice from Health Protection Scotland. We will of course, advise any clients if any of our staff begin to show symptoms, as we would expect you to share that information with us. If any of our people has a confirmed case of Covid-19, we will quarantine them, follow our risk assessments and the latest advice. In any case, we\u2019ll endeavour to replace your cleaning staff so that normal service can continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like our clients, we\u2019ve got a business continuity plan in place and we\u2019re happy to share that information with any clients who may be concerned or who want to compare notes to make sure they have covered all bases too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We stand with all our customers and our employees and wish everyone well. The future is unchartered, but on one level, it always is. If we can all bear with each, pull together and show good grace, the business continuity, though subdued, will carry on and come through this with better communications, greater connections and stronger relationships with their own people, customers and the wider community beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
