20 years... and counting

In these pressing economic times and with businesses struggling to survive, it is good to know that a London contract cleaning company is celebrating 20 years of trading this year.
North London based Principle Cleaning Services Ltd was established in 1989 by the current managing director Douglas Cooke and provides a high quality, sustainable and professional cleaning service to both large and medium organisations throughout London and the home counties.
During the past 20 years, Principle Cleaning has grown from strength to strength and now employs 1700 staff, many of whom have been part of the team for several years and some of who started in the very early days of the company’s launch. The Principle Cleaning strap line - ‘Passionate about its people, service and reputation’ - really does encapsulate the whole essence of a company with a real family feel to it.
Having previously worked for major organisations, Cooke soon recognised a need in the market place for a high quality and operational focused cleaning company. A number of Principle Cleaning’s clients such as Banco Sabadell, Travers Smith and Mansell Construction have been with the company for almost 20 years and many others such as Christie’s and CIN La Salle for 15. The company continues to innovate and search for new ways to move forward, such as recently redesigning its company website to coincide with its distinctive logo and branding.
Cooke has over 35 years' cleaning experience, and he is currently chairman of the CSSA, sits on the BICSc council, and is a board member of the British Cleaning Council.
Douglas Cooke said: “I am extremely proud every day and can only thank those that have supported us throughout the past 20 years, but particularly to the long serving staff members who work tirelessly and have been so loyal to Principle Cleaning for a number of years.”
