Green cleaning comes to Wales

Ridge Crest Cleaning Limited is already an established business but now, Welsh rugby captain Ryan Jones is putting his weight behind the launch of Ridge Crest Wales. Ridge Crest Cleaning is a specialist cleaning and support business and claims to have pioneered the UK’s first 100% sustainable cleaning contract.

When Ryan Jones teamed up with Ian Beach, managing director of Ridge Crest, he soon recognised an outstanding opportunity to expand this service into Wales. Ryan Jones, chief executive of Ridge Crest Wales, is launching this sustainable cleaning business with its new headquarters in Swansea. Ian Beach said: "As a Welshman, I’m delighted that the focus of our growth in 2008/9 should be in Wales. In partnership with Ryan, we’ve already had tremendous interest in our services and I know that many businesses here are eager to operate in a more sustainable way. Our cleaning contract gives them the opportunity to save money, have their premises cleaned more thoroughly and help the environment. It really is a win-win solution for everyone."

Ridge Crest Wales will deliver a complete range of services to commercial, public sector, leisure and industrial premises using only environment-friendly and biodegradable products. As well as being a committed environmentalist, Ian Beach is an astute businessman and knows that Ridge Crest’s service offering has to be competitive. He continued: "On a typical office contract, 16 traditional cleaning products would be required - but using our contract, only four green products are needed. This leads to a saving of around 20% on overall cleaning costs whilst simplifying the process and improving general standards of cleanliness."

Ridge Crest’s work for the Greyhound Racing Association alone has saved them more than £20,000 annually. Ridge Crest Wales was proud sponsors of the Welsh Rugby Players Association

(WRPA) Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards 2008. Ryan Jones said: "There is no bigger accolade to be recognised for your contribution to Welsh rugby. These awards mark the well-deserved respect and admiration from fellow players and fans. Ridge Crest Cleaning is launching its new operation in Wales and as chief executive I’m delighted that we can recognise the work of the WRPA through our sponsorship of these two very important awards."
