TC Contractors awarded first Tesco Express outlet

New business win underlines contract cleaning specialist's 45-year partnership with the country's leading supermarket retailer Adding to its 290-strong portfolio of large format Tesco stores, including Extra and Superstore outlets, TC Contractors (01737 814 016), one of the UK's leading independent multi-contract cleaning specialist - has been appointed to service its first Tesco Express facility - recently opened in the Pembrokeshire village of Goodwick in Fishguard. In addition, to make sure the store was ready for its first customers, the company also implemented an in-depth pre-opening clean. Awarded due to Surrey-based TC Contractors' ability to deliver first class service on a nationwide basis and underlining a partnership with the major supermarket retailer that spans some 45 years, the contract covers daily cleaning of the new Tesco Express store by TC Contractors' highly trained operatives using best of breed equipment. Paul Thomas, Senior Buying Manager at Tesco comments: "We are delighted that TC Contractors has won this contract. Although it traditionally cleans the large format stores, the company has clearly demonstrated its flexibility and is more than capable of cleaning less square footage. Our long history with the company means we've no doubt it will treat the new Tesco Express store with the same importance it places on the Extra and Superstore outlets." Established over 45 years ago by Trevor Cripps, TC Contractors is a family-owned and run business and currently achieves a turnover of approximately £48 million. It is backed by 24/7 customer service, employs over 3,800 people and cleans some 550 premises across a wide range of markets with a strong focus on retail and pub, club and leisure facilities.
