Monthind Clean has announced that it has secured a three-year contract through tender to work with the East Anglia Reserve Forces & Cadets Association (RFCA).
The contract will see Monthind deliver specialist cleaning services at firing ranges across the region. Local teams from Norfolk, Essex, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire will visit sites with specialist equipment to deep-clean kitchens and remove contaminates bi-annually from 40 RFCA sites across the region.
Explaining how interesting the contract is, Ceri Clark, Contract Support Manager at Monthind Clean, explained: “It’s another example of how unusual our work can be. We’ve had to buy in specialist explosion-proof vacuum cleaners, and our teams go in in full personal protective equipment. Our job is to seal individual areas and stage clean to remove firing contaminates from the ceilings to the floors and everything in between.
“When you tell people you work in the cleaning industry, they imagine it’s all about mops and buckets. As a specialist cleaning company, we are able to plan and deliver some really fascinating and unusual contracts, and the RFCA is a great example of the diversity of the work we do.”
The East Anglia RFCA is responsible for maintaining safe and compliant buildings for the Reserves Forces and Cadet Forces. This includes the upkeep and day-to-day running of 200 sites across the region.
Nationally, RFCAs are responsible for the upkeep and development of some 350 Army Reserve Forces sites and 2,300 cadet sites on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
