HIVE CLEANING TO EXPAND ITS SERVICES TO MANCHESTER Hive Cleaning is delighted to announce that they are expanding their services to Manchester. The company has been providing high-level, sustainable cleaning services to more than 100 offices in the capital and is expanding, given the significant demand for its highquality, sustainable services in Manchester. Hive already has a customer base there, including Koba, a major sustainable shared workplace company, opening its doors to the first tenants in Q4 2024. Hive Managing Director Louis Beaumont says: “We have always felt a kinship with Manchester, the city’s vibrant culture and strong sustainability principles (even the city’s symbol is a bee, just like ours!) and when the opportunity presented itself, it
was the perfect next step for our growing, successful company.” Hive Cleaning is the highest-ranked B Corpcertified, sustainable, and ethical office cleaning company in the UK. Its principles are immaculate
cleaning, motivated and valued staff, comprehensive carbon reduction strategies, innovative green technologies, engaged stakeholders, and transparency. The company is on track to achieve Net Zero status in 2025 and is certified by The Planet Mark for their year-on-year comprehensive carbon reduction strategies. Hive is committed to strong social and ethical principles. It pays all employees at least a Real Living Wage and champions equal opportunities and equal pay. Their transparent governance means open-book quotes for customers and the sharing of all their carbon emissions data and calculations publicly. Hive also runs several much-loved environmental initiatives, including their adopt-a-beehive scheme and a major reforestation project in Devon.
