The cleaners will also be paid the real living wage
Fulford School cleaners in York were looking at an uncertain future with their jobs, due to the facilities management company, that employed the cleaners, filing for administration.
Betterclean Services York took on the contract at short notice and all the cleaners’ jobs have been transferred over and are now employed by the cleaning franchise.
“Over the last two years we have focused on building a reputation of going the extra mile to help customers and in this case, we’re delighted to step in to save jobs and ensure the school was able to open after Easter,” Rick Jefferson, franchise owner of Betterclean Services York, Harrogate and Leeds since March 2020.
As well as ensuring the cleaners’ jobs are safe, they will also be paid the real living wage.
“I believe by being driven by our values and focusing on staff and customer care, everything else falls into place,” said Rick.
