Midlands Enterprise Awards 2019

19 | SME NEWS - Midlands Enterprise Awards 2019 The Green Cleen Group is a multi-award-winning bin cleaning franchise dedicated to offering unique opportunities for individuals to be involved in this ever-growing market and offer an innovative service that clients can rely on. We caught up with Group Director Daniel Coulon to gain an insight into the developments the group and its industry have undergone over the last 12 months. Originally formed in 1996, Green Cleen has since flourished into a well-established bin cleaning service. The organisation provides its innovative services to a range of domestic and commercial clients across the Midlands via their company-owned vehicles based at their Head Office in Staffordshire. Over the years the brand has expanded throughout the UK via a network of franchisees who all offer professional, effective, environmentally friendly, fully licensed and insured bin washing using specialist bin washing equipment and eco-friendly cleaning products. Daniel explains how the firm’s innovative franchise and dedication to quality bin washing has led it to grow exponentially throughout the past 23 years. “Here at Green Cleen we offer an innovative franchise opportunity that cannot be found anywhere else. Previously a lot of entry-level bin washers were buying cheap bin cleaning trailers to enter the industry as cheaply as possible. Now people are starting to invest higher in the equipment wanting hydraulic lifts and high-pressure wash heads to clean the bins minimizing the physical effort required. For this reason, we have seen massive growth and demand to join our Franchise opportunity signing up three new Franchisees in the early part of this year alone. “Our franchise opportunity is completely unique and designed to ensure everyone who represents our brand fully understands its values and aims. All of our staff and Franchisees must complete an in-house training programme which involves spending time on a live Green Cleen round near our Head Office with an established and experienced member of staff.” Thanks to this ever-growing network the group is able to offer low-cost solutions to the problem of dirty unhygienic wheelie bins by washing and deodorising bins regularly using specialist bin cleaning equipment to ensure we achieve the highest cleaning standards. Sustainability is a key focus for the group, and as such it recycles all water used in the bin cleaning process complies with all Environment Agency and water company legislation using biodegradable chemicals which kills 99.9% of all known germs. Daniel is proud to explore how Green Cleen uses the latest cutting-edge technology and equipment to ensure that it reduces the impact its services have on the environment. The Green Cleen Group Best Bin Cleaning Business - Staffordshire “As part of our focus on providing a sustainable and high-quality service to all of our clients, at Green Cleen we only use company built state-of- the-art bin cleaning equipment which complies with all DEFRA and Environment Agency legislation. These bin cleaning machines use hydraulics to lift the bins to the water catcher/ initial filter and have high-pressure hand lance and fixed orbital wash heads to clean the bins inside and out whilst collecting all water used in the bin cleaning process avoiding polluted water reaching our storm drain system. The water is then filtered and recycled to 300 microns before being downloaded at a registered drop-off point back at our depots. “Alongside our innovative equipment, we also use a biodegradable cleaning product that is eco-friendly and regional water utility approved is used to assist the water cleansing after which a deodoriser is applied to the bin to leave a pleasant fragrance. We have public liability insurance, a waste carrier’s license and legal consent to dispose of the waste-water, and all Green Cleen operators have received full and approved training to ensure your bins are cleaned to the highest industry standards. As such, all of our clients can rest assured that they are capable, experienced hands when they book with us.” Seeking to build on its current success, Green Cleen has big plans to grow further over the years ahead, as Daniel excitedly concludes. “As we look to the future, at Green Cleen we plan to push into two new regions this year with the addition of a further four UK Franchises. These new opportunities will drive our brand to even greater recognition and we are excited for what the future holds.” Company: The Green Cleen Group Contact: Daniel Coulon Website: https://greencleen.com/
