We launched our new Clean Streets Team in Midtown this week. Led by Supervisor Edgars, our ‘tangerine tornadoes’ are supplementing the work by Camden & Islington Councils across the Midtown BID footprint.
Pavement sweeping, litter-picking, graffiti removal, sharps removal, daytime flushing and night-time jet washing are just some of the services the team will undertake.
In October, we will launch a daytime janitorial service, offering on-demand spot cleaning to Midtown BID members.
We’re delighted to announce that our Ambassadors can now be found in King’s Road Chelsea, part of The Cadogan Estate.
Originally planned to start back in April, like so many things the launch was put on hold due to the COVID crisis. But with businesses now re-opening, Harley (left) and Shartina, are now busy introducing themselves to the local community.
If you see them, say hello!
Over the last 18 months, we’ve been busy growing our teams in Victoria and The Northbank, adding street cleaning to our portfolio of services.
We kicked off in Victoria in the Spring of 2017, followed by The Northbank in the Summer of 2018.
Both teams use Flowplant high pressure hot water systems for night-time deep cleaning, and offer daytime Janitorial Services to BID Members in addition to litter-picking across the BID footprint.
Sloane Street was developed by Henry Holland for the 1st Earl Cadogan (1728-1807). Charles ‘Sloane’ 1st Earl Cadogan sold the development lease to Henry Holland in 1777. Sloane Street today is home to the world’s leading fashion houses and on a day-to-day basis The Welcome People Ambassadors greet an average 200 visitors. Find out how they impressed the Estate Improvement Manager at The Cadogan Estate.
As Colmore BID neared its second term it became evident that a stronger ‘on the ground’ service and dedicated team to meet and greet visitors was needed. Investigation the options available the Colmore BID team came across The Welcome People Ambassador programme. The smart and professional appearance of The Welcome People’s Ambassadors was seen to set the right tone. Read our full case study here...
In the same week we celebrated our 4th Birthday, we’re proud to announce our 15th location! Working with our friends at Croydon BID, we’re delighted to be providing their new Welcome and Way-finding service. In a change from our traditional 3 piece suit and bowler, Croydon BID have opted for a striking pink and black casual look – you’ll be sure to spot The Welcome People Croydon Team!
On Friday we said goodbye to Aldo, our Supervisor at inMidtown. Aldo's moving on to study for his teaching qualification, after three years with The Welcome People, but leaves his team in the very capable hands of Alhoussein, who's been promoted from The Northbank.
We're featuring this story because it epitomises what The Welcome People is all about. Our founding principles of Trust, Pride and Camaraderie are captured here on camera - two people who care passionately about what they do.
Good Luck Aldo and thanks for everything. Congratulations Al - you really deserve it.
