our word for it…

Commercial deliver. We are fortunate to work with some amazing partners. Here are some examples of great things we hear every day.

Commercial presented Currys with an innovative solution aimed at enhancing the sustainability of our cleaning product range. They demonstrated their ability to remove single-use plastics from our supply chain, reduce the use of harmful chemicals, and importantly, achieve cost savings through a comprehensive cost-in-use analysis. Commercial also collaborated closely with the Currys team to develop a customised training video, complete with 'How to' guides, ensuring that our cleaning staff at each location could effectively utilise the new range from day one.
The Tesco procurement team have been delighted with the way Commercial share our desire to entrench sustainability into our supply chain – we really are kindred spirits. Our ethical and sustainability policies are of paramount importance to our reputation and the Commercial team reviewed and approved all products in a short timeframe. Commercial are already committed to the ETI base code and are working on achieving EcoVadis accreditation for all suppliers on the Tesco account.
The new Walsall Housing Group office is a fantastic, fresh and modern workplace thanks to the wonderful work of the Commercial interiors team. They created a steering group to work alongside us to understand our demands and held regular meetings during the design process to keep us informed of the progress. Our desire was for a more collaborative space, with meeting booths and one-to-one seating, rather than traditional desks – and they delivered a fantastic final fit-out over the full four-floor building.
Each year, Commercial supplies accessory packs to graduate trainees at a leading accountancy firm, which are then picked, packed, and delivered to their home addresses by the Commercial Foundation. This not only guarantees that every new employee has the necessary equipment to be productive from their first day but also allows their IT team to focus on other responsibilities. Collaborating with the Commercial Foundation generates substantial social value returns on investment for the firm and contributes to improving the lives of the Foundation's volunteers.
Wollens have enjoyed a long-standing and fruitful partnership with Commercial because they are always introducing innovations and improvements to our IT environment. As the threat of cyber-attacks increases it was vital that we strengthened our capabilities for dealing with a ransomware attack with a cloud-based backup solution. Our solution means data cannot be altered or deleted, giving us a crucial way of recovering data to minimise any potential downtime and financial losses
Working with Commercial for our branded materials has proved to be effective and collaborative. The team is efficient and they listen to requests for improvements. Commercial has made branded goods simple.
As E-commerce in retail continues to grow, Commercial’s stock-management and fulfilment expertise has allowed a leading UK retailer to free huge amounts of warehouse space. Commercial took on the stocking of our employee uniform, transferring to a new supplier with the management of the supply being consolidated into their existing supply accounts. Not only did this free vital space in their distribution centre, the consolidated supply of all GNFR delivered significant delivery cost savings.
At JoJo Maman Bébé we are happy to work with the Commercial Foundation and support inspiring work they do to help disadvantaged young adults. Like us, the Foundation are a B Corp certified organisation that is proven to put purpose ahead of profits. We have enjoyed working with their volunteers to help with a mug-making activity. We are now working alongside them to create an introduction gift for our new employees, these include printed mugs, pens and notebooks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here’s the lowdown on a few key considerations when choosing the right partner for your cleaning products.

How common is it to outsource cleaning?

According to The British Cleaning Council, more than 75% of businesses in the UK use contract cleaning services. Firms invest a significant budget in keeping workspaces safe and clean, particularly since the pandemic.

What kind of expertise can I expect?

Our specialist team will listen to your requirements, attend a site visit, and devise an inventory to suit your organisation. We then continue to provide expert advice and support to ensure that the right products are selected for specific applications.

How do I ensure that the cleaning products provided are of a high quality?

You should always ensure that the supplier you choose is experienced and reliable. At Commercial, we’re very willing to provide references, for your peace of mind. Additionally, it is important to discuss your requirements in detail and ensure that your needs are understood.

What safety measures should I take when buying cleaning products?

It is important to ensure that the supplier adheres to health and safety regulations and has appropriate insurance. Additionally, you should ensure that any cleaning products supplied meet the highest standards of safety and quality.

What types of cleaning products can Commercial supply?

We provide advice on the most suitable products for specific applications, ensuring products are compliant with any specific health and safety requirements, and take account of eco-friendly impacts. As well as cleaning products, we can offer janitorial supplies and equipment.

How much can I expect to pay when sourcing cleaning products?

The cost will vary depending on the type and complexity of cleaning required. We’ll always balance quality with value, meeting your budget and environmental priorities.

What steps should I take to ensure that the right cleaning products are selected for specific applications?

When outsourcing cleaning products, it is important to discuss your requirements in detail and ensure that the supplier understands your needs.

The Commercial team draws upon years of experience and continues to test new innovations in cleaning products, designed for high cleaning and environmental performance.

What is the cost-in-use of choosing eco-friendly cleaning products?

The cost of using eco-friendly cleaning products will depend on the type and brand of product you choose. Generally, eco-friendly cleaning products will cost more than traditional cleaning products. However, the cost is often offset by the fact that eco-friendly cleaning products are more effective and will last longer than traditional cleaning products. They often require less packaging, saving on disposal and lowering transport costs.

Overall, this can mean greater value and a lower ‘cost-in-use’ than traditional products. Additionally, using eco-friendly cleaning products can help to reduce your carbon footprint.
