FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
JCD Cleaning & Support Services has secured a contract with Historic Sussex Hotels, a privately owned collection of prestigious properties in Sussex.
JCD will be providing a range of commercial cleaning services to two of its three hotel sites as per the new contract valued in the region of £200,000, which will see JCD become the exclusive provider of services for these venues.
This contract spans seven days of the week and requires two cleaning staff, each working two hours, resulting in four staff members covering the entire week. The scope of work will include cleaning the hotels’ reception area, pool area, steam room and sauna, changing rooms, showers, and sports studio so guests are consistently welcomed by spotless and healthy environments.
Commenting on the contract award, Chris Guilfoyle, Managing Director of JCD said: “Working with a well-known customer in the leisure and hospitality sector is a major milestone and signals further growth for our business in this sector. With such a high-profile hotel brand as a point of reference, this will allow JCD to further prove our capabilities, and develop and expand our presence in this space.”
Are you confident that your contractors and suppliers meet ethical labour standards and human rights obligations?
For many FM services, managing multiple third parties in the supply chain can be a complex challenge. And, in a sector that relies heavily on migrant workers and 65 per cent of FM services facing difficulties in sourcing workers (Q4 2022 RICS survey), exposure to exploitation and modern slavery is a very real risk. With the UK one of the biggest destinations in Europe for trafficking of workers, you need full visibility of the people you work with, so you can minimise your risks and identify which part of your supply chain is most vulnerable.
FMJ, in partnership with Alcumus, is pleased to bring together a panel of experts to discuss how to create an ethical supply chain in FM.
Taking place at 11am on Wednesday 21st of June, the webinar will discuss:
- The regulations to be aware of that are aimed at preventing human right abuses.
- How to gain greater visibility of modern slavery compliance in the supply chain by having a robust verification process in place.
- Steps to creating a compliant, ethical supply chain.
