Spotless Commercial Cleaning has acquired two rivals south of the border, bolstering its annual revenues and widening its UK customer base.
The Edinburgh-headquartered company has taken over the Manchester-based Purity Group, purchasing its assets out of administration. The move further builds the north west England footprint for Spotless, which has had a Manchester-based team operating within the region for over a decade.
Salisbury-based Clearsprings Support Services, a cleaning and support service business serving customers in southern English counties, has also been bought. With an established presence in London, where it also has a dedicated team and regional office, this acquisition gives Spotless an enhanced customer base across the region.
The two companies should increase the company’s annual revenues to more than £18m.
This growth drive is being led by chief executive Carron Henley, who initially joined the company as a credit controller in 2012 and has been steadily promoted to her current position.
“The purchase of Purity Group enables Spotless to build on its long-term presence in Manchester and across the region where we have a growing customer base thanks to the work of our North West team, meanwhile the acquisition of Clearsprings has opened a wider market for us across the South of England, building on the efforts of our superb team in London, “ she explained.
Chairman Roger Green, who founded the business in 1988, said: “These acquisitions give Spotless a real boost in terms of our annual revenues and, more importantly, our ability to service customers in key regions across the UK.
“I look forward to working with Carron and our teams as we aim to progress our strategy of growing our presence to cover every UK postcode.”
Spotless operates 1,600 cleaning contracts for blue chip companies, retail outlets, industrial firms and commercial premises.
