In 2012 we have already been hard at it - with the upkeep of our sites’ general maintenance. 

One of the services we offer as part of Envirocare Maintenance Solutions is to keep our sites’ bin store areas clean and fully accessible.

Recently we have had to clear away all sorts of things.  It truly is amazing the things people thow away in the strangest of places!

Another of our services is Gutter Clearance.  Ensuring Gutters are clear of leaves, moss, debris and running freely.

Hope everyone has had a wonderful break and is back fully charged to take 2012 by storm!

There truly is no rest for the wicked here at Envirocare…our different teams have never stopped in these holidays!

As well as usual duties, they have been busy gritting roads and our sites around the Country, replacing and clearing fallen trees and fences from the high winds we have been having, cleaning bin stores, clearing gutters and if that was not enough…they have been busy enhancing, what will be the views for thousands of people all over the UK, by planting over 65,000 bulbs ready for Spring!

Phew!  What’s next…?

It was back to reality for Dave and Jan this week after their success at the 2011 Property Management Awards hosted by News on the Block at Lords County Cricket Ground.  “We had a great night” beamed Dave, “we knew we’d made the shortlist for the award and we were pleased about that, but to win – well that just confirmed we’re on the top of our game.” 

After being thoroughly scrutinized by the panel of independent judges, they were particularly impressed with our committment to customer satisfaction – this is what the judges had to say:

“Envirocare Maintenance Solutions impressed the judges with their clearly written contracts, stakeholder liaison, customer feedback mechanisms, ability to take on challenging sites and participation in community activities.  In addition, a great set of nominations found favour with the judges – complimenting Envirocare for making “regular, thorough site inspection visits”, for “going above and beyond what residents expect”, and for taking “the quality of their work very seriously”.
