08 November 2019

Ecocleen has completed the acquisition of Regency Cleaning Services, a family-owned cleaning business based in Henley-on-Thames, in a deal worth up to £2.5 million. The successful takeover will enable the company to increase its presence within key sectors – most notably education and motor retail – while expanding its nationwide franchise network.

Jean-Henri Beukes, Managing Director of Ecocleen said “Regency Cleaning Services is a likeminded and profitable business that will immediately strengthen a number of existing franchisees while helping us create new franchise areas. Their cleaners, supervisors and managers share our passion for service excellence and innovation, so will be valuable additions to our team. Their MD, Darran Penny, will also join us as Commercial Director and brings more than 20 years of experience within the cleaning industry.”

With an annual turnover in excess of £4 million, Regency Cleaning Services operates throughout Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire supporting over 100 clients. The company’s team of over 500 staff are responsible for delivering cleaning, waste management, porterage and maintenance services to variety of private and public sector sites such as schools, nurseries, offices and car showrooms.

The first of many

“This is the first of a number of strategic acquisitions we are planning as we look to accelerate our growth within the UK. We are seeking further opportunities in London, the South-East, South-West and North-West, which will add value and expertise to our business and existing infrastructure. These are exciting times for Ecocleen and expect to make further announcement in the coming months,” added Beukes.

Ecocleen is a leading commercial contract cleaning provider that is passionate about service excellence, technological innovation and the environment. With a unique franchised business model, the company delivers national excellence with local expertise across a diverse mix of industry sectors. As a result, Ecocleen currently services 19 million sq ft of office, retail, healthcare and industrial space, handling contracts of all sizes for both private and public sector organisations.
