Another 10 Year Testimonial @ The West Brom!
We are delighted to have recently awarded longstanding Cleaning Operative, David Bird, his 10 Year Service Award!
A true ‘Black Country gent’, David has been a mainstay within the regions key and most respected financial institution namely, The West Brom Building Society (WBBS)!
David Bird (C) receiving his 10 Year Service Award alongside Adele Hayward, Head of Operations, Mark Brayford, Corporate Facilities Manager, We Clean Director, Paul Concannon and Contract Manager Jane Shields.
A decade is a long period of time and over the last few years in particular the cleaning industry and the landscape within which our teams operate has changed dramatically but there certain qualities and traits that will always stand the test of time within our industry and that is loyalty and commitment.
Our staff work extremely hard, often rising early in the morning to ensure iconic venues and household names across the Midlands are ready for the working day and it gives us immense pride that nearly 30% of our employees have been doing this with us for 10 years or more.
To have such a large percentage of our 600+ cleaning staff working with we clean for this length of time is outstanding in an industry that is often recognised as being a transient workplace setting and highlights the genuine career paths that are available to all staff working within our organisation!
Kicking off his career with we clean all those years ago David was initially under the tutelage of our retired Contract Manager Lynn Gill who helped mould David into the highly skilled and diligent Operative that he is today, complimented by a wonderful ‘work ethic’ he has been able to service The West Brom’s state-of-the-art Head Office for many years achieving excellent results.
More recently, he has worked closely with Contract Manager Jane Shields, who commented:
“David is a very unassuming member of our team and simply gets on with his work, day in day out. I count myself fortunate to have him within the team and I am very proud to see him join the coveted ’10 Year we clean Club’!
Another person who has witnessed David’s growth and development over this time is Mark Brayford, Corporate Facilities Manager at The West Brom. Mark has always championed our on-site staff to develop both personally and professionally, commenting:
“David is a popular member of the we clean team at the WBBS Head Office. He is well known and liked and has a reputation for his helpfulness and a passion to maintain the high cleaning standards set. Nothing is ever too much trouble and we value David greatly and congratulate him on the recognition of his 10 Years of committed service.”
David is very much we clean, his professionalism, humility and that overriding sense of integrity epitomises completely our unique Company Ethos with a desire and passion to do the job right!!
Well done David we are proud to have you in our team – here’s to the next 10 years!”
