Commercial cleaning venture Mrs Buckét Cleaning Services has been appointed to the framework for Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council’s education and school sites.
It is the Swansea-based firm’s first appointment to a local authority educational cleaning framework, marking a significant milestone in a key target growth area for the business which last year said it is targeting growing revenues to £15m to £20m over a three year period.
The framework runs for three years from October with an option to extend beyond that term. Inclusion on the framework means that schools and educational establishments in Rhondda Cynon Taf can now choose Mrs Buckét as their cleaning provider.
Mrs Buckét has extensive experience in the education sector as it already cleans more than 25 schools and colleges from Bristol to Swansea, so it has an understanding of the unique challenges that cleaning within educational environments.
achael Flanagan, Mrs Buckét’s chief executive and founder, said: “I’m delighted that we’ve been appointed to this framework. It’s our first time on a local authority education framework, which is a huge step forward for our team who have worked really hard on this tender. The public sector education market is hugely important to us and has been a key growth area we’ve been targeting, so to achieve this recognition is fantastic.
“We can’t wait to get started and hopefully work with many schools across Rhondda Cynon Taf.”
Mr Flanagan founded the business as teenager back in 2005 with just £20 and 5,000 marketing flyers. Today the business employs around 400 with clients across Wales and the south west of England.
