SMC Mops Up Profits in North West
A Stockport-based cleaning firm is enjoying continuing high levels of success in 2011, thanks to the high quality service it delivers to its clients in the North West.
Due to exceptional success in the cleaning of education buildings, SMC Premier has now opened a specialised cleaning division, catering for all needs to all educational establishments.
SMC Premier reported a 23% growth on turnover at the end of last year, and this growth has continued throughout 2011. This rapid growth led the firm to increase its staff by 35%, creating 55 new job positions. SMC expects this trend to continue, and has plans to increase its labour force by creating a further 60 new posts.
A family-owned company, formed in the 1980s, SMC Premier Cleaning provides business-to-business cleaning services in Liverpool, Manchester and North Wales, to a wide range of market sectors, including Education Establishments, Retailing, Hospitality, Banking, Production, Distribution, Healthcare and Facilities Management Companies.
“What an exciting year SMC Premier Cleaning has had!” said Operations Director, Oliver Byrne.
“Despite the deep recession that has hit all industries and services, SMC Premier has grown, when so many cleaning companies have gone into liquidation, or ceased trading.”
SMC attributes its business rise to effective management, staff retention, competitive quotations, and introducing an electronic monitoring system for auditing cleaning standards for its clients. This involved a move away from a paper-based auditing system to a more efficient, streamlined computerised PDA reporting system.
All SMC cleaning staff are trained to NVQ standard, and in its drive to reduce its carbon footprint, SMC has converted 50% of its vehicle fleet to the environmentally friendly petrol alternative (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), and uses eco-friendly products.
