Lancaster Cleaning - or Lancaster Office Cleaning Company to give it its full title - opened its brand new Training Academy at 3 Beaufort Court, Admiral’s Way at Canary Wharf, London. Lancaster, now part of the Rentokil Initial group of companies, has long been a corporate member and exemplary supporter of the Institute - and a past winners of the BICSc Training Award at the Golden Service Awards.
We were delighted and honoured when Laurence Bull and Anne Bradley asked Colin Hanks to open the new centre before a large number of invited guests including Peter Lloyd, divisional managing director of Rentokil Initial, and Andy Deeker, Lancaster’s managing director of operations. Lancaster has always been a by-word for training in which Laurence and Anne play key roles. Colin, in his introduction before cutting the tape and declaring the Academy open, had some cogent things to say about training and the facilities. He said: “This exciting and well equipped Academy has been designed to meet the highest standards to which Lancaster has always espoused. Staff will benefit hugely from skilled and motivated trainers and access to this excellent training environment.”
