The challenge
Following a successful £3.7m bid for funding, Marling School planned a major build to transform their site. To safeguard this investment, they saw an opportunity to externally review their in-house cleaning provision.
“We knew this building would change the dynamic of our in-house cleaning team. We needed support to form an action plan to safeguard cleanliness and the environment of our new building. To do this, we needed to know what standard of cleaning we were delivering, how this compared to best practice, where improvements could be made and how best to make these.”
Emma Gray, Business Manager, Marling School.
The solution
A benchmarking review was undertaken to evaluate, analyse and compare areas such as operative effectiveness, legislative compliance, human resources and cost control against best practice. A breakdown of productivity rates and cleaning hours for the new building was also part of the remit.
The results
Sitemark provides independent best practice benchmarking of facilities management services, helping clients improve standards, reduce costs and ensure best value for money.
