Karl Salter • Apr 26, 2021

London based commercial cleaning firm, Julius Rutherfoord & Co, bring Touchshield™ into their enhanced portfolio.

"Being a commercial cleaning company focusing on central London, the last 12 months has proven a challenge. We have had a real mix of clients requiring extra services to clients requiring none at all as they closed their offices to stay at home" commented Julius Rutherfoord & Co CFO, Chris Jarvis.  "One thing for sure is that cleaning and hygiene services have moved their way right up the agenda and are very important to all of our clients". 

Focused entirely in London, the firm has over 30 years experience delivering high-end secure cleaning services.  Since 2001, their business has maintained more than 15% growth year on year, boasting staff retention rates of more than three times the industry standard. 

Entrusted to deliver secure hygiene solutions within education, museums and heritage as well as commercial offices and private spaces - Julius Rutherfoord wholeheartedly embrace technology and innovation within their sector. 

"We are passionate about delivering high standards and are always looking for new technologies and innovations that compliment our approach in a cost-effective way" continued Jarvis.

"That is why we have decided to partner with UK manufactured Touchshield™ to support our teams in delivering a consistently hygienic environment for our customers."
