We recently advised that the Willsmere cleaning contract was up for tender. SPI, our encumbent contractor chose not to submit a tender. Three companies tendered for the business and while they were all very good submissions one contractor stood out as the best choice.
We would like to welcome our new cleaning contractors to Willsmere as of today. Keyts Cleaning Services are located in Kew and have been in operation for over 40 years and have over 350 clients. We feel they have a lot to offer Willsmere and look forward to working together. Keyts had reached out to Lanka, our previous onsite cleaner to offer him the job of staying on at Willsmere but he already had a new position and was happy there.
Our new onsite cleaner is Basanta Khatri and he started today. We will upload a photo shortly, but unilt then, Basanta is wearing a Keyts uniform and a high-vis vest so you should be able to recognise him.
Here is a list of our regular suppliers to Willsmere
1) MBM with Petar, Sam, Damien and Jenny - We have genuine depth and commitment in their involvement with us. Petar is dedicated and takes pride in Willsmere.
2) Ashleigh Taylor from MICM - Has got off to a great start with us. Is switched on, intelligent, thoughtful and responsive.
