History Welcome to Pamper Cleaning celebrating over 20 years in the cleaning industry. In the last decade, we have grown dramatically from a company that mostly specialised in cleaning contracts with Landlords, to one where the core of our clients is now office based cleaning contracts in London.
However, we also have a number of other contracts that cover the restaurant, retail and public health sectors and extend all around the UK.
The excellent increase in business can be linked to the vision and 'hands on' approach of our two directors but is mainly due to our flexibility in meeting all the personal needs of each individual client along with our insistence on providing quality services consistently. Our flexible approach has lead to us to carry such slogans as 'much more than just a cleaning company', 'Large enough to cope, small enough to care' and more recently 'Pamper Cleaning - experience the difference'.
Simple Effective 1,2,3 Approach We have a simple method of approach toward all our clients and services: 1. Clients are diverse and differ, therefore we try our best to meet all their unique and individual needs. 2. We endeavour to meet all our clients needs with a minimum impact on the environment. 3. We train and support all our staff so that 'as a team' we can serve our clients. Our ethical approach has been embraced throughout the UK.
Providing A Full Range of High-Quality Cleaning Services Our prime focus of business continues to be 'Professional Contract Cleaning'. Our highly qualified, trustworthy staff ensure your premises are constantly cleaned to the highest standard while you can be safe in the knowledge that we carry out our work with the minimum impact on the environment. Our Contract Cleaning Services are tailor-made to your individual requirements.
All it takes is a 15-30 minute site visit by one of our site surveyors who will draw up a cleaning specification exactly for your site's individual requirements thus ensuring you receive the right level of service you require at an extremely reasonable rate. Along with our 'Regular Cleaning Contracts' we also offer 'Specialist Cleaning Service' to all our clients.These services include: High Pressure/Hot Shampoo Carpet Cleaning, Floor Polishing, Stone Floor Scrubbing, Spring Cleans, PC Cleaning, High Access Window Cleaning, Sanitization Cleans, Office Equipment Removal/Collection, High Pressure Water Jetting plus much more...

As part of our increased services for existing clients, we now offer numerous additional Facility Services either on a 'one off' or 'contract' basis. These services include: Building Inspections for reporting and monitoring basic maintenance needs, General 'Handy Man' Services ; Painting & Decorating Services ; Office Refurbishments ; Electrical & Plumbing Works ; Environmental Advice and Supplies plus much more..

Pamper Cleaning Services Limited Tel: 080• ••• •••• Email: i•••••@••••.com Web: www.pampercleaning.com 3
Our rationale is to achieve the highest standards for our clients while creating as little impact on the environment as possible. This is confirmed by the fact that we are among the very few cleaning companies in the UK that are fully ISO 14001 accredited. This international standard gives testament to our environmental management systems and considerations. As a cleaning company, we recognise that we have an obligation to consider all environmental issues in our line of business. With such in mind we break down our approach into simple manageable sections, focusing on the following areas:
Using the latest technological products in our working environment: Our Operations Department is constantly evaluating the latest cleaning agents available thus ensuring we use as 'green' an agent as possible while ensuring the product still cleans effectively in the commercial environment. This on-going evaluation process has meant that at most of our clients sites just two or three chemicals are ever required to be in regular use. The use of the latest equipment and aids (such as micro fibre technology) reduces the quantities of cleaning agent required even further. Additionally, wherever possible, products are supplied in concentrated form and in re-useable packaging which reduces our carbon footprint for ‘delivery’ & ‘waste’. Another simple way of ensuring minimal impact on the environment is by preferring to work with suppliers who are themselves taking positive steps to manage their impact on the environment and as such we regularly monitor suppliers progress in adopting 'greener' policies.
Offering clients 'greener' supplies: As part of our focus on environmental issues we constantly research 'greener' alternatives to all products we currently supply our clients. As a result, we have an impressive list of environmentally friendlier options which our 'Buying Power' ensures all of these products really do become financially viable alternatives. They include: 100% Recycled C-Fold Hand Towels ; Flushable C-Fold hand Towels ; 100% Recycled Toilet Roll ; 100% Bio-Degradable Black Refuse Sacks ; Environmental Toilet Cleaner ; Environmental Washing Up Liquid ; ECOVER Hand Soap, Dishwasher Tablets, plus much more..
Recycling - The most environmentally friendly way: While many companies offer a recycling service, not all do this in an environmental way. In our research into Recycling Operators, we found that an alarming percentage where shipping most of their waste to far away countries such as China. We offer clients a 'recycling service' which employs an environmental recycling technique thanks to our partnership with a number of different local recycling authorities and commercial companies.
Environmental Advice Service for Clients: The Carbon Trust was set up by Government in 2001 as an independent company. Their goal is to accelerate the move to a low carbon economy by working with organisations to reduce carbon emissions and develop commercial low carbon technologies. In connection with the Carbon Trusts directives, we offer all our clients Environmental Advice based on their personal working environments. This is accomplished via 1. An Energy Survey - A member of our Energy Efficiency Managers takes a survey of your sites specific energy usage and patterns. 2. An Energy Report - A full Energy Report is supplied outlining the results of the survey and containing suggestions on ways to save energy in your office environment based on Carbon Trust directives.
Facing our Environmental Responsibilities
Section 1 - Experience the Difference Our Cleaning Operatives
Our Cleaning Operatives
Looking after you, the client: In order to protect clients (and also other members of staff), all new employees are subject to our stringent vetting processes. Part of this process includes that the new employee supply us with a full passport or ID Card, a utility bill to verify their home address, proof of entitlement to work in the EU or National Insurance number plus full bank account details for their pay. New employees are then fully trained and assigned to work on a site that has an overseeing supervisor and/or manager for assessment. Once assessment and probation period has been completed they may then be assigned to other clients sites. All cleaning operatives are routinely monitored via our MSS Team (Mobile Supervisors & Support Team) and additional ‘surprise visits’ from Regional Managers who carry out Site Performance Scoring (SPS) to constantly assess each site's service level. Additionally, joint monitoring and KPI-style ratings can be arranged between client and operation managers if required. Once operatives have completed their probation and assessment further security and background checks are carried out on those assigned to schools, nurseries etc. or upon clients request. We do not to use any Agency Staff.
Looking after our operatives: We recognise that a business is only as good as its staff hence we invest in our operatives well-being, making them feel ‘part of the family’ from the moment they join us. We always ensure good rates of pay, giving consideration to their health & safety at all times along with providing full training and development courses. To keep our teams up to date and interested in company progress we run a quarterly newsletter, which is translated into several other languages to ensure full benefit is derived for all members of staff including those whose first language is not English. Additionally we hold Awards Parties twice a year which are open to all employees and their families. This adds greatly to our family atmosphere and gives management the chance to meet ‘the real people’ behind our success. At these parties up to 10 members of staff are given a personal award in recognition of their efforts, (which is fairly assessed by the use of our overall ‘site performance scores’ mentioned above) along with cash bonuses. We find that all members of staff look very much forward to our very special ‘End of Year Awards Party’ when our much coveted 'Supervisor of the Year' and 'Employee of the year' are announced and given their awards and gifts. By investing so heavily in our employees, we feel we have one of the most dependable, trustworthy teams in the industry and as a result we have one of the highest staff retention rates in the business (with a number of operatives being in our employ for over 10 years!) with most of our new recruits coming from referrals of existing staff members.

Section 3 - Pamper Mobilisation Plan - Ensuring a Smooth Transfer of Service Contract Mobilisation Plan
Pamper Cleaning Services Limited Tel: 080• ••• •••• Email: i•••••@••••.com Web: www.pampercleaning.com 11
Contract Mobilisation Plan
Transferring to a new service provider can be a worrying time for Facility Managers, however, this need not be the case with Pamper Cleaning Services. From the moment, we have been awarded your contract our Operations Team initiates our Mobilisation Plan, ensuring as smooth a transition as possible, leading to an overall better service from the very beginning.
Our Director of Operations is responsible for overseeing the plan working closely with our Senior Operations Manager. Together they will encourage plenty of formal and informal communication with you, the client, leading to lower stress levels and higher client satisfaction both during the initial mobilisation stage and continuing on throughout the contract.
From the day of Pamper Cleaning Services being awarded your contract, through to the contract start date, we will initiate the following:
• Agree a timetable of progress review meetings with the client.
• Agree Quality Monitoring System/s with client
• Review latest TUPE Regulations, obtain applicable information about existing service providers staff on site (either directly from ‘out-going’ service provider or via client) and as soon as possible meet with existing cleaning staff to vet/evaluate their skills, responsibilities and training needs.
• Arrange interviews with our current members of staff to assess suitability for roles required including supervisors/managers.
• Where required, interview new ‘potential’ employees via our regular recruitment programme.
• Fulfil all Heath & Safety Requirements such as Risk Assessments etc.
• Confirm Cleaning Times and Work Schedules in accord with client meetings.
• Arrange, order and deliver all required equipment, materials, uniforms and PPE.
• Hold ‘Implementation’ meeting with all staff (existing and new) to confirm all assignments and give relevant ‘site specific’ additional induction training if required.
It is obviously important that, whenever possible, a reasonable notice period is given prior to commencement of the contract in order for us to undertake fully the Mobilisation Plan stated above. Depending on the size of the contract, a number of additional staffs required and cooperation of outgoing service provider in dealing with TUPE regulations, our Mobilisation Plan generally takes between 2-4 weeks to implement fully.

Pamper Cleaning Services Limited Tel: 080• ••• •••• Email: i•••••@••••.com Web: www.pampercleaning.com 12
Meeting TUPE Requirements
Changing your Companies Service Provider/s, is part of everyday business life. To protect all employees, TUPE (The Transfer of Undertakings - Protection of Employment Regulations), was introduced by the government back in 1981 with its most recent update being issued in 2006. The basics of TUPE legislation means that if a business and/or service change hands, all employees of the original company move to the new company / service provider including any liabilities associated with those members of staff.
The latest 2006 revisions make the transfer process a little clearer, and effectively making the transferor (Out-going Company) and transferee (In-Coming Company) jointly and severally liable for any failure to inform and consult with the transferring employees. To meet our legal obligations, Pamper Cleaning Services endeavour to make this often tricky period of legal transfer and line of communication as simple as possible by following government and legal advisory guidelines.
This is achieved in the following ways prior to start of contract:
• Notice letter sent to ‘Out-going’ (Transferor) Service Provider informing them of Pampers good intentions and reminders of the transferors' legal obligations to assist in the provision of ALL relevant details in accord with the latest legislation which includes the following information about their staff on site: Identity and age; Information contained in the employees' written particulars of employment ; Information about disciplinary or grievance procedures taken within the previous two years in circumstances where the statutory dispute resolution procedures apply ; Any legal action taken by an employee against the transferor within the previous two years and any potential legal action where the transferor has reasonable grounds to believe such actions might occur; Information about any collective agreement which will have effect after the transfer. Such information is currently, legally required to be passed onto the ‘In-coming’ (Transferee) Service Provider no less than 14 days prior to the transfer.
• Initial information letter for employees affected by the transfer is sent to Existing (Transferor) Service Provider to pass onto the relevant members of staff or appointed representative/s reassuring them of Pamper Cleaning Services intentions of protecting and upholding their legal rights along and inviting them to continue employment if they so wish. This letter would include a section giving permission for their existing employer to supply us with their contact details, thus avoiding any issues with Data Protection for the ‘Out-going’ Service Provider.
• Welcome letter outlining arrangements for meeting with relevant members of staff and/or appointed representative/s, which would be sent to staff following receipt of information from ‘Out-going’ (Transferor) Service Provider.
• Welcome meeting with relevant members of staff and/or appointed representative/s to assess skills, structure, experience of existing setup and discuss any ‘measures’ or ‘actions’ (changes in their previous contract) that may affect them, plus address and concerns, anxieties they may have regarding the transfer.
• After evaluation of discussions from the welcome meeting, ‘induction’ and any additionally training required will be given to all members of staff.
In our experience, the majority of ‘professional’ service providers are happy to work along with this simple, guided approach. However, on occasion, the ‘Out-going’ (Transferor) Service Provider may attempt to slow down such a process in order to hinder this transition period. In order to meet our legal obligations, we may be required to ask for your brief assistance to initially contact the existing service providers staff on your site. As can be seen in our TUPE Flow Chart on the next page, we have endeavoured to make this, seemingly complicated legal requirement, as simple as possible and in the majority of cases are able to complete the process in approximately 2-4 weeks from date of award of contract.

Recruitment Procedures for New Contracts
Here at Pamper Cleaning Services we recognise that a company is only as good as the people in its employ, therefore we are committed to recruit and directly employing the best possible staff available in the industry. TUPE Legislation requires that all current service providers employees be taken on by the incoming service provider, however when such staff request not to transfer or when there is no previous service provider we carry out our standard recruitment protocols. Once such employees are obtained we ensure that they know we respect their contributions to our company reputation by way of: committed support and training, possibly the best rates of pay in the industry, quarterly newsletters (containing information on company developments, safety reminders, etc.) to keep that ‘part of a family’ feeling among all members of staff, annual award parties (where staff and their family are invited to have some fun and awards plus cash bonuses are presented in recognition of ‘high achievers’) and a general attitude of ‘treating them as we would want to be treated’. We also encourage an attitude that cleaning is important and indeed essential service required by all businesses and as such, a job that is often considered as an interim or part-time employ should be considered more as a career. Additionally all our staff undergo a continual training and development process which greatly increases their feeling of self-worth (see page 21 - section 4 ‘Continual Quality Assured Service’). With such an overall attitude and investment in staff it is little wondered that we have some of the best ‘staff retention’ rates in the industry with a number of cleaning operatives that have been with us 10 years plus!. As a result we find that we very rarely have to resort to ‘advertising’ for employees because most of our new applicants are friends and/or family of existing staff which adds to a ‘united’ workforce. On application, new employees go through our strict recruitment and vetting process as shown in the flow chart below. Once they are approved for employment and have received their induction training, they are assigned to one of our ‘supervised’ working training sites where their individual skills/abilities are assessed for an average minimum of 2 weeks. Here they receive all the additional training, commendation and advice they require to fulfil their individual potential. When they have been fully assessed, consideration is given as to if that individual is suitable for carrying out a ‘lone working’, ‘key’ or ‘new’ contract assignment or if they would be recommended to remain on ‘supervised’ contracts only. Where possible, only individuals that have gone through this ‘supervised working assessment’ would be assigned to any new contract, thus ensuring the new client that the staff we supply for them are completely up to the task.

Section 4 - Continual Quality Assured Service Quality Monitoring, SPS & KPI’s
Pamper Cleaning Services Limited Tel: 080• ••• •••• Email: i•••••@••••.com Web: www.pampercleaning.com 17
Quality Monitoring via Site Performance Scoring (SPS) and/or Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s)
We recognise that being successful at tender stage only lays the basic foundation to achieving and maintaining long and mutually beneficial working relationships with our clients. Our ultimate aim is to provide all our clients with the highest quality cleaning service possible and this can only be achieved by us regularly and consistently monitoring standards. As such we apply the following monitoring processes on ALL sites:
Mobile Supervisor & Support Teams: Our ‘MSS’ Team of mobile supervisors are responsible for regular visits and site inspections while operatives are present and are trained to give verbal commendation, supportive advice and/or training. They report back to the Senior Operations Manager who would increase monitoring processes where such reports indicate a need. Additionally the ‘MSS’ Teams provide emergency cover for absentees.
Area Managers: Our Area Managers are our ‘second line’ of regular ‘on-site’ monitoring, supporting the MSS Teams in a continual process of inspection and communication with operatives being given commendation, supportive advice and/or training where required.
Site Performance Scoring (SPS) - Internal Monitoring: All sites are subjected to our internal ‘SPS system’, wherein our Senior Operations Manager inspect client sites along with the assigned Area Manager/s and Score the standards and quality of work in line with the agreed cleaning specification. These scores are then used to provide an ongoing, internal performance monitoring scale and are additionally used to assess and award cleaning staff in recognition of exceptional works. Please see page 13 for an example of our SPS sheet.
Fully Trained ‘On-Site’ Supervisors for contracts with 3 or more Cleaning Operatives: These ‘working’ & ‘non-working’ supervisors are trained with management and quality inspection skills, receive higher rates of pay, and are responsible for the ‘everyday’ monitoring of standards during the working process.
Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) - Client Assisted Monitoring: Key Performance Indicates help us as an organisation to define and evaluate how successful we are in achieving our goals, which is to deliver to all our clients a high-quality standard of service and then to maintain that standards throughout the contract term. Designed with our client, a quality control score sheet is used to score and monitor our performance. This will then be reviewed with our clients at a monthly / semi-monthly or quarterly service provider meeting (whichever the client prefers). A service provider Audit sheet will then be used to assess our overall performance. Please see page 14 for an example of our SPS sheet. The following are some suggested service level agreements: • Quality Performance - taken from the Quality Control Sheet. • Operational Hours - Staff attendants and punctuality. • Monthly Meeting - all monthly operational issues are assessed including invoicing, quality control sheets, attendance levels and overall performance. • Management Actions - all operational issues from last service provider meeting were completed dated and owner established • Health & Safety Review Check List - all elements of H&S fall within the client are managed and a regime is provided with full assessments for all works. • Window Management - all waste streams and disposal are managed and maintained in accordance with UK legislation at the client • Finance - all invoices are produced and delivered on time.
Section 4 - Continual Quality Assured Service Attendance Monitoring Processes
Pamper Cleaning Services Limited Tel: 080• ••• •••• Email: i•••••@••••.com Web: www.pampercleaning.com 18
Attendance Monitoring Processes
More than six million people in the UK work alone or without direct supervision. As a company that takes its ‘duty of care’ extremely seriously we employ 2 key methods in monitoring our staff's attendance and thereby increasing their security and safety*:
IQ Timecard System: We have recently employed the simple, effective IQ Timecard System. IQTimecard is a web based system using state-of-the-art telephone services enable full management and monitoring our remote or mobile employees. The server lets employees clock in and clock out from any touch tone telephone (via a freephone number), including mobile phones, anywhere and at any time of the day or night. For times when it’s not possible to use a phone on site, there are other options available to use with our IQTimecard System. The process of logging in and out is simple. The cleaning operative calls the service from the contract site and the system identifies the telephone number the operative is calling from therefore verifying their location (for telephone systems where the caller id is shielded there are alternative options available with our IQTimecard System). The cleaning operative then presses 1 to clock in or 2 to clock out then enters their unique identification number.
Key aspects for our choosing this system over other systems is that it offers a ‘real-time’ online attendance tracking facility allowing us to see at a glance which contracts are currently being attended at any given time, creates a daily call log for verification and checking purposes as well as eliminates the need for paper timesheets. The system also enables us to leave special messages for the operative when they clock in and is additionally capable of sending ‘alert’ texts or email to managers should an operative fail to clock in or out within a given timescale. We have found the system to be an invaluable tool in ensuring our staff's safety and are progressively rolling the system out across all of our ‘lone working’ contracts for the benefit of all such operatives.
Regular Area Manager & Mobile Supervisor Visits: Our Area Managers and Mobile Supervisors are our ‘second line’ of regular ‘on-site’ monitoring. Their regular visiting our cleaning operatives at unscheduled times aids in our attendance monitoring processes and ensures staff well-being.
*As a company we differ from many other cleaning companies by paying our employees for the ‘quality of work’ they do rather than the time they are actually on site. By doing this we not only emphasise to our staff that it is ‘quality’ not ‘quantity’ that should be important in their working efforts but it means that efficiency is rewarded. For example, some companies pay cleaning operatives according to the time they ‘clock in and out’. This means that a fast, efficient, cleaning operative is actually financially penalised for being such, as they would be on-site less time than a slower, less productive worker. We feel that this is unfair and not in line with our corporate working ethics. As such, we are happy for our operatives to ‘finish early’ so long as all assigned tasks have been fully accomplished to the agreed excellent standard. Therefore, all of our time and attendance monitoring processes are applied for the safety and well-being of our staff.

Pamper Cleaning Services Limited Tel: 080• ••• •••• Email: i•••••@••••.com Web: www.pampercleaning.com 21
Constant Training and Development of Staff
Many other cleaning companies struggle to train staff adequately because they depend upon staff that have only a part-time employee with them. As such they find their staff are unwilling or unable to travel to training centres due to financial, other work or family commitments. Here at Pamper Cleaning Services we do not find this such an issue for the follow reasons:
• We provide and encourage employees (where possible) enough work to avoid a feeling or view of our profession being only a ‘part-time’ or ‘stop-gap’ job.
• Provide local ‘one-to-one’ training as much as possible, with our instructors travelling (where possible) to visit the operative.
• Provide local ‘group’ training sessions where they are taken through our ‘step-by-step’ training manual.
• Provide a personal copy of our ‘step-by-step’ training manual to any operative wishing to keep one.
• Translate our training manual and/or training lessons into the cleaning operatives mother tongue to ensure maximum benefit and understanding is derived from such instruction.
• Provide a continual monitoring and training programme via our visiting Mobile Supervisory Support (MSS) Team.
• PAY OPERATIVES for their ‘training time’.
Additionally all our training and development programmes are designed to instill a feeling of self-worth for the recipient of such programmes. At the end of any course, we encourage the staff to give feedback on what the liked and more importantly how they feel we can improve such training sessions.

Administration, Support & Complaint Handling
Administration & Customer Service: Here at Pamper Cleaning Services Limited, we pride ourselves in our ability to respond quickly to all our clients’ requests for any impromptu, ad-hoc or emergency cleaning requirements. We recognise that our clients often prefer to address most issues via a single, effective method of contact within the management structure rather than being provided with various contact details of different members of staff in various departments of the company. As such we provide all clients with their personal dedicated email address for contacting Pamper with any queries, special instructions or issues they wish to convey. This email address is simple and easy to remember (usually y•••••@••••.com) and automatically forwards your message to ALL members of your contract management team, thus enabling the best member of the team to deal with your enquiry immediately, while having the added benefits of: 1. being automatically logged by our administration system assisting with our continual quality management, 2. no interruption of service levels when members of your assigned team are on annual or sick leave as the message will automatically be answered by another member of the team covering for the absentee.
Since we introduced this unique method of communication for clients via a single email address specifically for that client, we have had much positive feedback on how quickly the right person is able to respond and more and more clients are using this method of communication with us. However we know that there are times when there is no replacement for the ‘personal’ touch and as such you will always be supplied with telephone numbers of the members of staff assigned to look after you and your contract along with our promise, that if you would ever to like to discuss your needs, queries or issues ‘in person’ we promise to have a member of our management team on your door.
Complaint Handling: It is a sad fact of life that mistakes do happen from time to time and to ensure the issues from such have the minimal effect on our clients we have a simple, straightforward approach to complaint handling with an escalation process as shown below:
Complaint logged for historical reference and quality monitoring - dependent on nature / level of complaint, and historical background the issue will be forward accordingly
Area Manager Direct communication held with the client with confirmation of action to be taken. If issue not resolved or client wishes further escalation process should move to next level.
Senior Operations/Contract Manager Direct communication held with the client with confirmation of action to be taken. If issue not resolved or client wishes further escalation process should move to next level.
