History
Since its beginnings in 1977, City & Kent has been associated with healthcare.
In the early days, their activities were those which hospital staff were not expected to do – cleaning windows, corridors, stairs, moving discarded furniture, but, even then, under the close scrutiny of matrons or hospital managers.
By the 1980s, having proved its reliability and flexibility, City & Kent were entrusted closer to
matrons eagle eye and assigned surgical-area cleaning. Today, there are still a number of stalwarts in the company who developed skills and attention to detail under that tight cleanliness regime and now share these professional attributes to the Groups current workforce.
Working closely with Infection Control, medical staff and manufacturers of specialist equipment, the Company has been successful in adapting to the many changes within the NHS over the decades, and has never looked back. The result is a highly successful, modern organisation, managed and structured to respond to the fast-moving pursuit of improved cleanliness standards.
City & Kent has gained an excellent reputation in the hospitals it serves as being at the forefront of innovative technologies and techniques. The company has also successfully in disseminated these standards into its other areas of expertise in both public and private sector organisations, keen to provide safe, welcoming environments and minimise absenteeism through preventative care.
Never resting on its laurels – City & Kent has itself undergone change – as more and more organisations seek out the know-how which the company can impart. By creating iDCS® – offering either cleaning and/or training to exceptionally high standards, the specialist skills required for intensive deep cleaning will not be ‘watered-down’ as a bi-product of daily cleaning. Our continued investment in people, training and technology means that we can deliver honed and refined cleaning solutions on target, on time, on budget.
City & Kent will avidly continue to make history by setting new standards for others to follow.
