Cleaning Express was deeply saddened by the news that Queen Elizabeth II passed away yesterday afternoon. Today, our offices and London are quieter than usual. The Queen is, for many of us, the only monarch they have ever known. In the 70 years since Queen Elizabeth became the heart of the nation, she has kept us united through the most difficult times.
We want to remind our staff, our customers, and our cleaners to think about the Queen today, what she represents for this country, and the legacy she leaves behind. Here are some of our favorite quotes. We’ve incorporated many of these quotes into the Cleaning Express ethos over the years.
“No matter the race, creed or color, everyone is our neighbor.”
London, and the United Kingdom in general, is a diverse country. This makes it a beautiful and exciting place to live. Cleaning Express is proud to have cleaners and clients from all over the world, from all backgrounds. We were overwhelmed with prayers and thoughts from our customers after the outbreak of the Ukraine war. They knew that many Cleaning Express staff were directly affected, and their families were still affected. We thank those customers.
“I cannot wear beige, because no one will know who I’m.”
Over the years, the Queen’s fashion sense has made her a fashion icon. Her bold, beautiful outfits and her smile made any room they entered look elegant. We have seen more and more videos of the Queen’s life today. Her boldness was not just limited to her clothing. We’re certain that her sense of humor was something we saw only during public appearances. Her outfits were as bright, bold, and stunning as the Queen herself, and I believe we can all learn from this.
“In these times of uncertainty and doubt, people’s attitudes in the workplace, at home, and on the street are crucial.”
Cleaning Express wants to support all our employees with their mental health. Both our cleaners and our customers help each other with mental health. It can make a big difference to talk to someone who isn’t in the best of moods. Today, many people will be feeling down across the UK. Today, talk to someone, listen, and comfort them. It may make their day better.
“It is important to remember that the biggest changes are often brought about by small steps and not giant leaps.”
This beautiful quote by the Queen fits Cleaning Express’ ethos to a tee, as if the Queen was describing how we’ve operated throughout the years. Over the years, we have added a variety of cleaning services to our portfolio to assist our customers. We have also made small adjustments to our practices and services to meet our customers’ needs better. These small changes have a big impact and have improved our service to customers.
“When the peace comes, it will be up to us, children of today, who make the world a happier and better place tomorrow.”
This quote by Queen Elizabeth really captures the current conflict in Ukraine and the sacrifices made. Climate change and other events have a profound impact on the world. We are responsible for making the changes we wish to see in our world. We are a leading London cleaning company, and we have a responsibility to make big changes for our cleaners as well as customers.
Today is a national day of mourning. The monarch of England, who had been in power for the longest time, has died. London is filled with sadness. The normally bustling city has become quiet and lonely. It is still important to celebrate the life of this remarkable woman. This woman has touched the lives of billions around the globe. The Queen will be remembered as the most powerful monarch to have ever ruled over our amazing country.
Please remember her today and reflect on the impact she had on your life. As we mourn at the Cleaning Express offices, we would like to share a final quote by the Queen in celebration of her incredible life and wonderful sense of humor. When she was asked once why she kept her purse on her at Buckingham Palace, she replied that she did so because the house was very big. The Queen responded, “you know, this house is huge, you know”.
Cleaning Express is committed to continuing its growth across all areas of the business. We continue to hire Ukrainians who are newly arrived in London, as well as people living in the area. We provide them with a full training program and offer assistance to other resources when needed.
We are thrilled to have won the Workforce Development Award, but our growth as a team will not stop there. We will continue to invest in our cleaners to ensure they are highly skilled, healthy, and happy. We are extremely proud of the staff who won this award and will continue to invest as much in them as they invested in us.
This is our last opportunity to thank the Royal Greenwich Business Awards for the Workforce Development Award 2022. Also, we’d like to thank the entire staff of Cleaning Express for their growth and development. We’d also like to thank all of the team at Cleaning Express for their continued growth and development.
What is the living wage?
The real living wage is higher than the government’s minimum or National Living Wage. It is an hourly rate that is calculated independently based on actual costs of living. The Living Wage Foundation announces the rate each year as part of Living Wage Week. The current rate in the UK is PS10.90, while the rate in London is PS11.95, which reflects the higher cost of living.
Cleaning Express is one of over 12,000 organizations that have chosen to pay the Living Wage. Hard work deserves fair pay.
