Cleanology’s Juliet Widdicombe promoted to MD 

Juliet Widdicombe has been promoted to the position of Managing Director at commercial and office cleaning company, Cleanology.

The appointment marks a rapid rise for Widdicombe who only joined Cleanology four years ago as Operations Director before achieving a promotion to Associate Director two years ago.

Cleanology says the top post is a reward for Widdicombe establishing herself as an integral member of the leadership team and impressing with her dedication, innovation and people-first approach, which has played a key role in shaping the family owned 1,400 employee business during a period of significant growth.

Widdicombe said: “The most enticing factor about working at Cleanology is that it allows you to be brave. We have a dynamic leadership team which isn’t scared to push forward and back bold decisions. We are constantly pushing boundaries to elevate the business as well as the wider industry and there is a real shared ambition across the business to keep raising standards for our clients and our people.

“We have also made a substantial investment into our new Learning & Development department this year to create clear pathways for our staff. The feedback already from new staff is that they have never previously experienced training of such depth and support. We attach huge importance to this because we want a committed, motivated and happy workforce with genuine opportunities to progress.”

She added: “I’m especially excited to now be leading the Operations and Business Support Teams as we continue driving customer excellence across the business. We have also welcomed some amazing new directors into the Operations Team who bring years of experience, energy and talent, and I am confident that we will collectively achieve our objectives over the coming years.”

Mark Little was recently appointed as Cleanology’s new Chief Executive Officer. He is also playing a pivotal role supporting the £25 million turnover company’s ambitious plans to double in size. A successful 2025 saw Cleanology win dozens of new contracts across multiple sectors, including the company’s biggest ever mobilisation with over £2 million of new contracts mobilised in just one month.

Welcoming Widdicombe to her new post, Little said: “Juliet’s promotion marks an exciting new chapter for Cleanology. She has made a tremendous impact since joining the business and brings real passion, operational expertise and a people-first leadership style to everything she does.

“As we continue our ambitious growth journey, Juliet will play a vital role in strengthening our Operations Team, supporting our people and ensuring we continue to deliver exceptional service and customer excellence for clients nationwide. There is fantastic momentum across the business right now and Juliet is absolutely the right person to help lead Cleanology into this exciting next phase.”
