NIC Local has secured a commercial cleaning contract win at one of Yorkshire’s most iconic heritage sites, The Piece Hall in Halifax.
The partnership further demonstrates NIC Local’s growing reputation as a trusted provider of high-quality cleaning services across a wide range of sectors.
Situated in the heart of Halifax, The Piece Hall is a Grade I listed building with a rich history dating back to 1779. Once a bustling centre for the textile trade, today it stands as a vibrant cultural and commercial destination, welcoming over a million visitors each year. The site includes independent shops, cafés, creative studios, exhibition spaces, and hosts a dynamic calendar of public events, concerts, and festivals.
Maintaining such a prestigious and high-footfall venue requires a cleaning partner with exceptional standards, flexibility, and experience in heritage settings. NIC Local’s appointment reflects its ability to deliver tailored cleaning solutions that respect the fabric of the building while ensuring the highest levels of cleanliness and hygiene.
The contract includes daily cleaning of public areas, tenant units, washrooms, and event spaces, with a focus on delivering a consistently spotless experience for visitors, staff, and retailers. Special attention will be given to supporting the operational needs of The Piece Hall’s busy events schedule, ensuring the venue remains pristine before, during, and after each function.
Commenting on the award, an NIC Local Regional Director, Maria Mestre said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be working with The Piece Hall, it’s not only a landmark for Halifax but a cornerstone of Yorkshire’s cultural life. This contract is a real testament to the professionalism of our teams and the quality of service we consistently provide to high-profile sites. Our focus will be on preserving the unique character of this heritage building while ensuring a safe, clean, and welcoming environment for all.”
The contract win follows a series of new business successes for NIC Local across the region, as more organisations seek professional, reliable, and locally managed cleaning services. As a national brand with local operators, NIC Local offers the best of both worlds: robust systems and standards alongside a personal, responsive service model.
In addition to daily cleaning, NIC Local will also provide specialist periodic services, including floor care and deep cleaning, as well as ongoing support to ensure compliance with environmental and health and safety standards. All cleaning operatives working at The Piece Hall will receive site-specific training to ensure they understand both the practical requirements and the significance of working in a historic environment.
This new partnership not only supports local employment but also reinforces NIC Local’s commitment to enhancing the communities it serves, one clean space at a time.
