Any you guys lost your morrisons contract?
Got letter this week that they have a general cleaning company from newcastle
to clean 120 sites in the north.
Does anyone know who this company is?
We lost 7 site in south yorkshire

[daz1977]

isnt uk commercial cleaning from that area

[david watts]

yep lost mine; maybe wrong on this but i think the company cleans other retail outlets
so is geard up to handle big contracts

[Darranvps]

We heard something about Morrisons using one company to clean all their stores. Maybe it has finally happened.

[Andy1982]

the new company i think is http://www.c-technortheast.co.uk/window_cleaning.html saw them doing our local morrisons the other week.  they do all kinds of cleaning by the looks of it.

No its not, its 'Lees general cleaning' allegedly.

They are from South Shields, cos they took mine after 26 years of windowcleaning, its probably the biggest and longest serving job ive done.

Get the violins out.

[david watts]

done mine for 5 yrs now they wont get half the money back used to do a mid week shop
when i finished

[weetot]

Then again, Morrisons to be fair did offer me to choose out of 811 stores to price for.

I priced a few, and even dropped the price by £12 on the one i do and still lost it, maybe my company just aint big enough for them, though had no complaints in over quater of a century.

yea seen them about. they also clean a lot of the offices around the old ici in the boro.....badly like all the other big firms seem too. but at the end of the day it comes down to a balance sheet read by someone who,s never even looked at the windows that they,ve been cleaning...lol

How often was that?

[weetot]

Weekly. 

I used to 4 a week back in the 80's and nineties and money seemed no object.
 But that was when it was Presto and 'Safeway'mainly.

Obviously due to recession and generally getting rid of deadwood over the last 2 years it had to happen.

Mind you, if there are 2 staff sorting out all those invoices from hundreds of little companies, as opposed to 1 invoice with 100 stores on, its not rocket science if there not saving on the pricing of windowcleaning, they can certainly let one of the admin team go and save money there.

Yes i agree.  Some releif managers were a nightmare, though always got on well with the usual store managers.

It was worse when head office lost the pink an yellow copy of the engineers worksheet, then they make you go back to store to get another one signed.  The relief manager was like " sorry who are you? what company you from? did you clean the windows on such an such a date?"

Even though youve been cleaning that store , when they were still filling their nappies.

I think i'll go back to doing domestic work.

But then the way things have been going on the commercial side........................I aint got a choice

Get them violins out again
