A growing contract cleaning company is moving into new markets – following a £50,000 cash injection from tyre-giant Michelin.

, based in Cheadle, Staffordshire, is using the funding to launch its new janitorial supplies division – Moorland Janitorial.

And over the next three years the company expects to double its turnover and create more than 10 new jobs.

Suzanne Davy, who founded the company with her husband Tim in 2012, said: “We are very passionate about high quality standards of cleaning and providing a service that is second to none – and our business has gone from strength-to-strength based on these values.

“The move into janitorial supplies feels like a natural progression for us. By expanding our supplier base, we can introduce greener; environmental practices into our own cleaning contracts and expand our market by offering a much wider range of cleaning materials, equipment, washroom products and cleaning machines through a fully managed service.”

Suzanne added: “The support from Michelin Development has been invaluable for us to take the next step.

“It is helping us to manage the projected growth of the cleaning business overall, coupled with the diversification into janitorial supplies, and has given us the confidence to move forward.”

Moorland Contract Cleaning applied to Michelin Development to support its ambitious growth plans after largely self-financing the business over the years.
