Kingdom is delighted to announce two pieces of very good news regarding one of their clients, The Harpur Centre, Bedford’s premier shopping centre.
Firstly, Kingdom’s Cleaning Division has had their contract to provide cleaning services to the shopping centre renewed. Kingdom has been providing cleaning services to The Harpur Centre for the past three years, and is delighted to have been given the opportunity to continue to do so. Kingdom’s Cleaning Division provides cleaning services to the shopping centre seven days a week, which includes keeping the car park, service corridors and shopping mall clean. Kingdom also provides periodic cleaning services to the centre.
Alongside this, Kingdom is delighted to announce that they have also won the contract to provide security services to The Harpur Centre. This includes providing a permanent manned security presence in the shopping mall, security services for the car park and CCTV coverage throughout the centre site. Kingdom will be providing a full security team, including a security manager and supervisor. The new security manager, Mick Reynolds, will also be in charge of the cleaning operation. The new security team will also be looking to engage more heavily with the shopping centre tenants, and will be linking with the town centre’s crime reduction team. They will also be responsible for implementing new security awareness campaigns, such as the new “Think Shrink” campaign.
Commenting on the new security contract and the renewed cleaning contract, Kingdom Cleaning Division’s Operations Director, Mark Day, said:
“This win was a complete team effort from the cleaning team and management structure that has been established over the last three years. Without their continued support and dedication to the centre we would not be where we are today.
“The bid team of Dirk Mills and Rob McKeon worked tirelessly to ensure that the numbers were correct, and the presentation team of Mark Day, Rob McKeon and Satia Rai ensured that the presentation was full of the spirit, drive and commitment to clients that Kingdom stands for. Special mention goes to Satia for her efforts, passion, energy and enthusiasm on the day. The fact that she grew up less than a mile from the centre means that she has a vast amount of local knowledge, which has already proved to be extremely useful with this contract.
“This was a fantastic team effort, where everyone played their part to ensure another successful bid for Kingdom. Hopefully this will be the first of many dual roles that we win as a company. Well done everyone!”
