The commercial cleaning firm has acquired of one of the largest cleaning contractors in North-West England, TC Bibby & Sons.
Launched in 1931, Wigan-based TC Bibby & Sons is a family owned and run business now in its third generation of family management.
The deal means Cleanology now employs over 1,200 people across the UK with revenues having doubled over the past year to over £25 million. Cleanology’s coverage in the North-West now includes Manchester, Liverpool, Blackpool, Preston, Blackburn, Bolton, Warrington and North Wales.
Dominic Ponniah, CEO of Cleanology, commented: “We are incredibly excited to be partnering with a long-established and reputable family business like TC Bibby & Sons, which shares our values and places its customers and staff at the centre of everything it does.”
TC Bibby & Sons Managing Director, Geoff Bibby, along with all existing staff members, will remain with the company.
Bibby said: “Joining Cleanology means our clients will continue to receive all the benefits of a locally-managed customer-centric business, but with the added benefits of additional support services, national coverage and new innovations in technology and sustainability.”
The recent acquisition is the latest move in a rapid expansion for Cleanology, which has seen the firm secure new business across the UK, including a contract to clean three of Mercedes-Benz’s showrooms in the North-West.
