Hi Arthur
Have you the latest copy of the cleaning and hygiene magazine?? My copy is at home, and there was an article from a cleaning contractor who started off with a co-op store to clean......now does around 22 of them or so. He has taken over a large spare office in one of these stores, and has made it into an in-house training room.
He went to all the contractors who supply fittings for the co-op.....carpet fitters, lift engineers, plummers - the lot, and asked if they had spares, samples of all their gear. The room is now kitted out with lift doors, carpets, flooring, a toilet area etc etc all these are used on the properties.....and uses this to do all his in house training with his staff.
I thought it was a very good article. When i get back in to the office tomorrow (computer broke at home!!) i will bring in the article and write down who the contractor was and see if they had their web address written down.
But thinking on it, i thought that this was a very good idea and something to think about, having a real training room dedicated to training up your cleaning staff.....you could even hire it out to other cleaning contractors??
Catch you later
Kind Regards
Tim
