Hi
We have a customer who we supply cleaning materials to on a national basis. They have 340 branches and are looking for a company to deal with the carpet cleaning requirements for them.
Do we have any members who can cover large areas of the UK who may be interested in quoting?
Ideally they'd like a single company to deal with it all but I'm happy to forward details of anyone who may be able to help in certain regions.
Regards
Mike

has anyone actually put any thought into this post?
what are you expecting Mike to do, give this large blue chip company a list of names saying
Pete from leeds can do yorkshire, John from derby can do the Midlands, Joe from London can do the Home counties... etc
I apoligise if I sound a little insulting but I hope anyone who has put their name forward has sent Mike a private message with a full company profile.
how can he put forward a company with just a first name.

When I posted my offer I was actually waiting for Mike to reply. It did not state that we were meant to send a private message.

Hi Guys
Sorry, I've been offline for a while.
We actually got the consumable business from them because, amongst other things, they wanted one supplier that could deal with all the branches and send a single invoice once a month. Unfortunately, I'm sure they'll want the same with the carpet cleaning.
I've got a couple of instant messages from a couple of people who can do nationwide coverage and we'll try that approach first.
Can anyone tell me if a franchise like Chem-Dry would actually manage a national contract at head office level (including invoicing) and then distribute the work amongst it's franchisees or are they all run entirely independently?
Are there many national carpet cleaners about?
Regards
Mike

Mike, CD here in OZ would handle that at Corporate level and monitor all work performed. They would allocate the work to the nearest franchisee capable of performing the work, and invoice the customer direct.
I'm sure the UK system would operate similarly.

I would presume that the large national office cleaning companies who also clean carpets may be able to help, but you may be shooting yourself in the foot with that one.
Wrennals of Lancashire do carpet cleaning contract work in most areas of the country so may be able to help. Tel: 01772 435739
Safe and happy cleaning:)

As the owner of a small but very busy commercial cleaning company i have for the past year assumed the roll of carpet cleaner. I take a great deal of pleasure from this and always aim to do the best job possible, i manage to regularly learn new skills and methods, often from experts on this forum and have built up a great reputation in my area. I would consider myself to be a good cleaner of carpets and a reasonable business man, to honest to be a good one :)
On this forum there are a number of very good carpet cleaners with years of experience and must have excellent reputations, how much work would it involve for a number of us to form an association which could cover national contracts like the one mentioned in this subject?
I know it would be lots of hard work but would it be possible as i'm sure there are many national franchises with which we could easily compete with if given the capacity to undertake such work.

Bad idea then :-/

Hi Mike
Long time since I've been on this site, so we're a little behind the curve on this thread - one of our guys pointed it out to me!
We use truckmounts to cover the country and already service a significant number of national accounts with both planned and reactive maintenance across England, Wales and Scotland. All national accounts are handled at head office including invoicing and quality control, so it shouldn't be a problem for us. We would also do full specification for the work centrally, including H&S, COSSH etc.
Let me know if you're interested.
Thanks
James

Thanks for the continuing replies. As soon as I have more information I'll get in touch with those that have expressed an interest if there is any way we can.
