Forty-five years later and Martin’s vision to build one of the country’s leading cleaning and facility service providers that employs thousands of people across the country, but crucially, maintains its deep rooted family values has been achieved. When Martin passed away in 2010, his sons Alex, Nik, and daughter Nina took the reigns along with their mum Linda Wyers as chairwoman, and in the last six years the Wyers team has propelled Floorbrite to new heights. In the last three years alone, the firm has enjoyed 13, 15 and 20 per cent year-on-year growth respectively and in 2016, turnover surpassed the £12 million mark. The reason for the impressive growth, according to the senior management team, is down to continued innovation, diversification, and never losing those important family values that Martin built the company on. Alex Wyers, joint managing director says: “We’ve always believed that if we’re going to do something, we have to do it well but more importantly – we’ve never been afraid to fail. The key to growing a business is to take calculated risks, which is exactly what we’ve done over the past six years and thankfully the risks have paid off. “We also truly believe that a business is only as good as the people you employ – we have a massive workforce of more than 1,300 staff around the country but we do everything we can to ensure that every single one of those people feels part of the Wyers family. Without them, our business wouldn’t be what it is today.” Floorbrite works with clients in the retail, office, healthcare, education, manufacturing, distribution, industrial, entertainment and leisure sectors offering a full suite of cleaning and facility services, including daily cleaning, window cleaning, industrial cleaning, waste management services, pest control and plants and grounds maintenance, security and building maintenance amongst many others. In 2015 the firm established an environmental division, which has gone on to win two major national awards from the Green Apple Awards - an international campaign designed to recognise, reward, and promote environmental best practice around the world. What’s more, the team also added security to its portfolio of services last year and announced a national expansion after winning a major contract with Phoenix Medical that sees Floorbrite providing full daily cleaning services in 18 cities across the UK, from Portsmouth to Aberdeen. Joint Managing Director, Nik Wyers, added: “In recent years, we’ve responded to customer demand by expanding our standalone cleaning company to offering a fully tailored facilities management solution in the retail, office, healthcare, education, manufacturing, industrial, entertainment and To find out more about Floorbrite’s full range of services visit www.Floorbrite.co.uk 6 FEBRUARY 2017 CLEANING HYGIENE TODAY We also truly believe that a business is only as good as the people you employ .”
