About Us

Supplying professional cleaning supplies and janitorial equipment, we're a small team that work together to ensure we always offer the best possible standards of service to our customers. Trading since 2001 in Telford, we have a core network of local customers.

We have many long-standing customers and as our Warehouse Operations Assistant & Delivery Driver (cover as and when required) you will often be the first point of contact and the only face many of our customers see regularly, so a friendly approach and a high level of customer service is essential.

Being a small team means all employees need to be flexible and open to carrying out tasks outside their job roll - at all times. If you're happy to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in, you'll be rewarded with a friendly working environment, competitive pay, and an important role within a small family business.
