You might find that the type of companies cleaning for the Tesco's and M & S's of this World aren't likely to be contributing to forums like this.

you are talking about some of the very big fish in the pond,( but not neccesarily the best)

I had dealings with Tesco during my days in the Motor Trade and most of the time they just took the Pee.
We stopped dealing with them 

There's no fun in no profit

We clean for one of the top 4 - external cleaning, high level, pressure washing, chewing gum & graffiti removal. Basically we make supermarkets shiney again - see www.m-clean.co.uk

Seems to be pretty much by invite only and I think that slightly higher up, when looking at this level of contract, brown envelopes come into play!!!

And many use "in house" cleaners.........

Mate of mine does the carpets in the rest room at his local Tesco, they just rang him and asked him to quote as the office cleaners didnt do carpets. So it seems there is a way in, you have only got to ask.

I cleaned for one of the big 4 and all window cleaning was put in house, so the cleaners were responsable , needless to say they are all minging now. I must add that this is not the ther fault but the management companies that run the cleaning are only in it to make money so thy don't do whatever they can get away with
