ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services Bradford and Sheffield Graves Park Animal Farm Sponsorship

ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services Bradford and Sheffield has agreed a two-year sponsorship with Graves Park Animal Farm, supporting the upkeep of the park’s public toilets.

Graves Park Animal Farm is located within Graves Park and draws visitors year-round, especially in spring and summer. Families, schools, and community groups visit to see some of the UK’s rarest farm animals up close.

You can meet Tamworth pigs, Highland cattle, Jacob sheep, plus goats, donkeys, waterfowl, and more. The farm is free to visit, which makes it a popular choice for days out during warmer months.

The Graves Park Animal Farm sponsorship

The sponsorship reflects the business’s long-standing commitment to both high cleaning standards and community involvement across Bradford and Sheffield.

ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services in Bradford and Sheffield has been operating for nearly 30 years. During this time, the business has established long-term relationships with clients across various sectors. Many contracts last for several years, thanks to our consistent delivery and commitment to local accountability.

Graves Park Animal Farm attracts approximately 300,000 visitors each year. The public restrooms are essential for guests spending time in the park.

Under the sponsorship agreement:

ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services in Bradford and Sheffield will be sponsoring the public toilet at the Animal Farm. The business will receive a plaque on the park’s sponsor board as recognition.

Cleaning products will be provided at no cost up to a specified value, and any products that exceed this value will be supplied at cost under a two-year agreement.

The decision behind the sponsorship

ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services in Bradford and Sheffield is owned by Stu and Eloise McCaig. Before joining ServiceMaster, Stu worked as a contractor and then as a permanent data analyst at Lloyds Bank. After many years in corporate roles, he decided to take control of his own career path and build a local business.

The Graves Park Animal Farm sponsorship aligns with this approach, enabling the business to support a space used daily by the local community while applying its professional expertise to maximise impact.

“Public toilets are an essential part of any well-used park. If they are not clean or feel unsafe, people cut visits short or stop coming altogether. With around 300,000 visitors a year, Graves Park needs facilities that people can trust. This sponsorship is about doing something practical for the community and taking pride in the spaces people share”, says owner Stu McCaig.

ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services Celebrates Success and Plans for Growth at Annual Conference

ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services franchisees get set to Thrive in 2025.

Last night, franchise partners from across ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services gathered at the Village Hotel in Nottingham for an exclusive conference event: Thrive in 2025, which explored the future of the brand and the journey ahead for the rest of the year.

Franchisees came together to get ahead of the curve, network with industry leaders, and be inspired by what’s coming next through future-focused insights in Contract Services, cutting-edge technologies and a gala dinner and awards ceremony to recognise the outstanding achievements from across our network in the past year.

The Conference

After being welcomed by our managing director, Alan Lewin, and getting the heart pumping with some light exercise from our guest energiser, delegates had the chance to network with one another and get some quality face time to discuss key learnings, successes and challenges within their businesses to support, mentor, and learn from one another to help them thrive in 2025.

They were then joined by guest speaker, Professor Paul McGee, the founder of The Sumo Guy, and one of Europe’s leading speakers on change resilience, leadership and wellbeing. Learning his SUMO method for approaching change and challenges in our professional and personal lives, we laughed as well as learned throughout this highly engaging session.

After that, it was time to share and discuss some exciting developments and technologies coming soon to the brand – but you’ll have to come back to us later about this one…

Capping off the day, our franchisees took part in an innovative team-building and problem-solving exercise that challenged them to adapt to changes and challenges in their task, and find their optimal roles and strategies to communicate through and overcome change.

The Gala

In the evening, our franchisees donned a black and white theme for a gala dinner and awards night that saw forty awards for their successes over the last year for their growth, people, investments, customer care, advocacy and overall excellence, some of which were sponsored and awarded by our event sponsors, Capital Fleet Solutions and Rosemary Bookkeeping, and our charity of the year, Alzheimer’s Society.

ServiceMaster Clean Bradford Owner Expands Commercial Cleaning Services into Sheffield

Get acquainted with the new owner of ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services Sheffield.

Two years ago, Stuart McCaig and his wife, Eloise, decided to change their career trajectories to build a legacy for their children, rather than just working to live.

They moved into contract cleaning, purchasing the well-established ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services Bradford from its previous owner of 25 years.

Having watched the business sustainably grow over this period, along with the gradual implementation of modernisations and efficiencies to help meet new challenges, they have doubled down and decided to make another leap as the new owners of ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services Sheffield.

We sat down with Stuart to learn more about their new business.

ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services Bradford and Sheffield

As with Bradford, Stuart and Eloise are purchasing another well-established business with a strong operational foundation and a history of quality service throughout Sheffield.

These two businesses will operate under the trading name ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services Bradford and Sheffield, with a Head Office remaining in Bradford and a further operational office in Sheffield.

The Expansion

Stuart says that when the opportunity to expand the business arose, he was eager to rise to the challenge.

“Expansion opportunities within the network do not arise often, and given the proximity of Sheffield, it was a no-brainer. It is also a very different challenge to [running ServiceMaster Clean] Bradford, being a smaller business brings very different challenges, which I am keen to test myself with.”

Given the smaller territory in Sheffield, Stuart says he and Eloise have the chance to grow the business in their vision. Some processes in Bradford that were still in place from the previous ownership aren’t fully optimised for Stuart’s vision, despite the evolutions made through the business’s technological solutions, which have already enabled their expansion. Taking over Sheffield, they can implement these changes in their new territory to provide an even better service to clients in the area.

“Bringing the company further forward regarding its digitisation and modernisation has allowed us to free up the management team’s time to focus more on our colleagues and customers,” Stuart says.

Now, when implementing new processes in Sheffield, they can transition these across Bradford to allow our vision to spread across both areas.

This is a vision of sustainable growth through the opportunity provided by expanding into Sheffield.

“With the current changing landscape of commercial and contract cleaning, we have a great opportunity to bring a new and refreshed view to Sheffield,” Stuart says.

Providing Exceptional Cleaning Services

Stuart reassures both existing ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services clients in Bradford and Sheffield of the excellent cleaning standards they can expect in the years to come.

“We’d like to thank the previous owners, Mike and Carol, for making the purchase process as easy as possible, along with the colleagues we are inheriting. It is a great honour to take on their legacy with the intent of only improving on it.”

“We look at being approved to provide a service to your business as an honour, and one we don’t take lightly in any manner,” he says.

“When you entrust us to help you thrive as a business, we ensure we can do everything in our power for you to achieve this. We appreciate that all companies will say this, but we genuinely believe we won’t be beaten on customer service and communication.”

Our Communication and Customer Service

At ServiceMaster Clean, businesses like Stuart’s put you at the front and centre of everything we do. We put you first, working with you through regular audits and channels of communication to understand your unique cleaning needs and exceed them.

The relationship you’ll build with our team of experts gives you the confidence to utilise one of our many feedback channels, including our bespoke TellServiceMaster review system, to let us know if there’s anything about your cleaning that you’d like to change.

Need a new cleaner?

If you’re in Bradford, Sheffield, and the surrounding areas and want more from your contract cleaning, contact your local experts to see how we can help you go above and beyond what you thought possible with a ServiceMaster Clean.

ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services Bradford’s new owner celebrates first anniversary and one year of growth

One year of ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services in Bradford.

Stuart McCaig joined the ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services franchise network a year ago as the new owner of ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services Bradford which he took over as a resale from the previous owner.

Here’s how his first year in business has been.

Before joining ServiceMaster, Stuart worked as a contractor and a permanent data analyst for Lloyds Bank, before deciding to be the master of his path.

Since then, Stuart’s focus has been supporting clients to create a better cleaning experience. His work in his first year has been about stabilising the business.

Stuart’s committed, methodical and driven approach to contract cleaning has helped him develop a rock-solid operational structure, providing a great foundation to build future years of the business.

To assess and maintain this structure, his supervisors run a regular quality survey to ensure the quality of their work is up to an exceptional standard – like an industry-standard  Net Promoter Score, but for internal auditing. They are achieving a high 90% score across all existing accounts.

Their exceptional services and structure have meant that in the last few months, Stuart has brought in around £500,000 of new business through new accounts created, based on a conservative 3-year lifetime value, and increasing his Net Margin from around 4% to around 11%.

Meet the new owner of ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services in Bradford

We sat down with Stuart McCaig, the new owner of ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services Bradford.

ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services in Bradford is now under new management, having been sold by the previous owner, Clive Jones, to former data analyst Stuart McCaig.

We sat down with Stuart to see how he’s been getting on with his new business and discuss his aspirations for the future.

Get to know the owner

Before joining ServiceMaster, Stuart worked as a contractor and a permanent data analyst for Lloyds Bank.

“I did a multitude of tasks, but towards the end, it was data analytics, and for my final big project, I was involved with a large-scale legal tendering process,” he says.

This background has informed his approach to decision-making and his direction.

After many years at Lloyds, he says he “wanted to be the master” of his “own path.”

So, he decided to step into something new.

After speaking with Clive and spending time in ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services Bradford, Stuart decided to take it on.

He is now ready to bring his committed, methodical and driven approach to contract cleaning.

Stuart’s Customer-Centric Approach

Embarking on his new path, Stuart says his focus is supporting clients to create a better cleaning experience.

His data-driven background means he recognises how to see what is of value for business and is committed to client satisfaction.

“My goal is making sure that the customers are being serviced in the way they should be,” he says.

“If they entrust us with what is essentially quite a simple task, their cleaning needs, we will do everything to ensure these needs are met.

And if, for some reason, they’re not, we will endeavour to put that right. I’ll spend every waking hour trying to ensure the business is where it needs to be and making sure they’re happy.”

“I’ll go Above and Beyond to make sure they’re happy the service we provide is what they expect.”

What ServiceMaster Clean Offers

At ServiceMaster Clean, we know that every business is different, and you may have different needs and priorates to your neighbour.

That’s why our cleaning services are bespoke.

Our teams work closely with you to understand what is important to you and go above and beyond to deliver at the highest standards every time using the best tools, staff, and know-how, backed by 60 years of industry-leading experience.

See how ServiceMaster Clean can help you.

Cleaning in Roman Britain

Cleaning in Roman Britain – What have the Romans ever done for us?

In the classic film Life of Brian, John Cleese posed the question to his colleagues “What have the Romans ever done for us?

Well apart from introducing:

Aqueducts, Sanitation, Roads, Irrigation, Medicine, Public Baths, Education, Freshwater System, Wine, Safety and Peace.

Not a lot really!

When the Romans invaded our shores in AD43 they really changed just about everything, because they were not impressed with how the British people lived at all. They must have thought the Brits were an uncouth, smelly and uncivilized ragtag race that really needed sorting out.

For starters the Romans built an excellent network of straight paved roads across the country, built brick and stone buildings and taught the British how to speak the Roman language – Latin. Much of the English language today is based on Latin. Britannia itself is a Latin name.

In terms of Architecture, many of our towns and cities in Britain today, imitate the buildings of the Roman world. For example the world’s largest Indian restaurant (Akash) in Cleckheaton near Bradford has a very impressive Roman front with large fluted columns, however  the staff in this excellent Indian eatery, do not wear togas.

BATHING & CLEANING

In terms of bathing and cleaning, the Romans really earned their laurels. They believed that good health came from bathing, eating, massages and exercise. Many Roman Citizens would  bathe frequently during the week.

The Romans saw bathing as a social activity as well as a way of keeping clean. Whilst the wealthiest of Romans would have their own bathing facilities in their villas, most Romans would prefer to bathe in a communal setting where business deals were often sealed. How civilized is that? – imagine doing all your business deals whilst sweating your socks off in a hot steamy room or Calarium.

Areas in Britain which had natural hot springs became ideally suited for baths such as the town of Buxton in Derbyshire (also known for excellent bottled water) and the city of Bath in Somerset.

Other communal baths were reliant on water, which was transported by pipes or by an aqueduct. The ingenious Romans then developed the forerunner to our central heating system or Hypocaust system which was used effectively in their villas.

How convenient it was in those days, when wealthy Romans would conveniently use the human energy of slaves to power their central heating, as opposed to using natural gas to switch on our boilers in our double glazed homes today.

CLEANING IN ROMAN BRITAIN

Larger Roman baths were called Thermae. An ingenious idea that could perhaps be viewed as the model for the modern day version of Centre Parcs with thousands of bathers – although in Roman times, the bathers would be mostly male.

CLEANING WITH STRIGILS

In Ancient Roman and Greek cultures, the strigil was used for cleansing the body by scraping off dirt, perspiration and oil that was applied before bathing. Sounds a bit painful to me. However these handy metal objects were also extensively  used by male athletes. The standard design was a curved metal blade and they were often found in tombs with a bottle of oil.

Other so called cleaning procedures in Roman times, such as using urine to loosen dirt from clothes (before it was washed) have not survived  the modern way of cleaning today – unless of course you are Bear Grylls.

VISITING A ROMAN BATH

In Roman times the communal Roman bath would be arranged as follows.

  1. Changing Room – place to undress clothes with some slaves to assist
  2. Tepidarium (warm room) place to relax and unwind
  3. Calarium (hot steamy room) – place for body to sweat

In this area, slaves would rub perfumed oil over the body of their master, then scrape off with a Strigil

  1. Frigidarium – cold bath to swim in

Many modern spas throughout the world are based on this model, including the beautiful baths in Bath itself.

So next time you have a hot bath, and contemplate the hot soapy suds near your toes, just ponder – if the Romans hadn’t invaded our shores, us Brits wouldn’t be as clean as we are today.

Cleaning in Victorian Britain

On a wet Sunday afternoon recently, my daughter suggested our family should watch a DVD of the film The Young Victoria. As usual, I had no say in the matter, because I would normally like watching sport, and I thought I was going to be bored stiff for two hours. Despite my early trepidation I actually enjoyed watching the film, because it completely changed my perception of Queen Victoria. My previous view of this long lived monarch was of a small, feisty and bossy person, who didn’t smile a lot and liked to dress in black clothes.  In contrast to my early opinion, the film The Young Victoria successfully dispelled the myth of her being a sombre Queen, but in a fact convinced me she was a confident and strong willed person with a warm heart.  I also found out during my research that she never actually said “We Are Not Amused”. Her enduring romance with the young Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha was very enchanting.  After their marriage in 1840 they were truly devoted to each other, until Albert’s untimely death in 1861. After this, Queen Victoria was grief stricken for many years.

Queen Victoria was queen of Great Britain for 63 years – to date, the second longest than any other British monarch (Queen Elizabeth II is currently the longest) Victoria’s reign saw great cultural expansion; advances in industry, science and communications; and the buildings of railways and the London Underground. She died in England in 1901.

In terms of cleaning and sanitation, the Victorian period underwent fundamental change, particularly with the expansion of industry and the growth of cities.

CREATING A CLEAN ENVIRONMENT IN THE WORPLACE AND HOME

The Industrial Revolution in the Victorian saw rapid change, whereby Britain became an economic powerhouse. Some enlightened industrialists realised they would get better productivity from their workers if they created a clean and safer workplace and a decent place to live.

Cleaning in Victorian Britain

One notable example was the creation of Bournville by members of  the Cadbury family in Birmingham in the latter part of the 19th century  They were successful in creating a model village, whereby the factory workers could live in well built houses and charge a low rent.

Another  fine example was the creation of Salts Mill and the adjoining  Saltaire village (near Bradford) developed by the Sir Titus Salt in 1853. The village of Saltaire still exists today, and is now recognised by UNESCO for its cultural heritage.

VICTORIAN VALUES – GOOD CLEANING LIVING

Self-improvement, hard work and progress were of paramount importance to Victorian Britain. Due to the growth of the middle class and increasing wealth through industry, social values changed considerably.  Home, hearth and family life became central to well-being, while there was a great desire to raise living standards.  The  Victorian household was a place where the family would congregate around the piano and sing songs.  Domesticity was a virtue encouraged in all women and a middle class wife absorbed herself in home- making or genteel pursuits such as needlework and reading. The rise of the middle class meant domestic servants (mostly women) would do the bulk of household chores including cooking the family meal or cleaning.

Personally speaking I am not sure my own family could hack the Victorian lifestyle, although to be perfectly honest it would probably do them no harm at all, and detox themselves from social media – imagine that!

HOW TO KEEP CLEAN THE VICTORIAN WAY – THE STAND UP WASH

We all love to have a quick shower in the morning. A quick nip and out of the shower cubicle, followed by a drying off with a towel and Bob’s your uncle – a nifty way of keeping clean and energy efficient as well.

In much of the 19th century, personal cleaning was very eco-friendly. This included the Victorian period, whereby personal hygiene was highly valued. The Stand Up Wash was commonly used by rich and poor alike, whether with hot or cold water.

 ITEMS USED FOR STAND UP WASH

  1. BOWL
  2. PAIL
  3. FLANNEL
  4. SOAP
  5. JUG OF HOT WATER (COLD WATER OPTIONAL)

METHOD OF STAND UP WASH 

  1. Pour small amount of water into the bowl.
  2. Dip the flannel into the water then wring out.
  3. Apply soap and scrub the body – one section at a time.
  4. Scrub, rinse and dry each part of the body before moving to the next.
  5. Dispose the dirty water in the pail.

This method of self-cleaning  allowed a person to remain almost fully dressed whilst washing because each area of the body was undressed, washed and re-dressed before the next was exposed.  Cleaning with style and such decorum!

PERSONAL  CLEANING PRODUCTS

In the Victorian era, personal hygiene underwent a quiet revolution. Louis Pasteur in 1860 demonstrated at the start of 1860’s that decay was caused living organisms present in the air, so if germs were everywhere, then cleaning became more important than ever.  A clean body neither generated bad airs nor harboured germs.

Carbolic acid remained one of the most popular disinfectants. Sold in liquid and powdered form at pharmacist’s shops, but also pre-mixed with soap , it offered a way of cleaning that went beyond looking and smelling pleasant. It’s own distinctive smell, came to mean ‘clean’ in the new, sterile sense of the world. A personal maid who smelt of carbolic soap came to be one who could be trusted and were more employable.  Today, a similar product would be Coal Tar soap, manufactured by Wright’s. The active ingredient would be tea-tree oil.

More to follow soon.
