With over 135 customer sites in Norfolk and employing over 190 staff in the County, Norfolk has always been an important region in Monthind’s portfolio. The opportunity to support a local fundraising event, whilst raising money for its chosen charity, Macmillan Cancer Support, led the company to join over 2,500 cyclists of all ages and abilities and enter a team in the Tour De Broads. Between them, Simon Biggs, Tony Payne and Chris Brown raised an impressive £2000 for the charity.
Monthind’s Sales and Marketing Business Manager, Tony Payne, says: “The Tour de Broads is a fantastic event; you can choose to ride just three miles or up to 100 miles, and the longer routes incorporate 16 Broads, four rivers and countless beautiful Broads National Park villages. The hardest part is not stopping off to enjoy your surroundings for a few hours, but it opens your eyes to the amazing countryside on our doorsteps, and I now have a long list of day trips planned.”
As East Anglia’s leading contract cleaning company, Monthind Clean LLP wanted to work with a charity that resonated with all of their 1000 + staff across the region. Statistics show that one in four people will be diagnosed with cancer at some point, so it is almost inevitable that everyone will be affected by the disease, either directly or indirectly, during their lifetime. Monthind teamed up with Macmillan Cancer Support in 2015 and such was the success of the partnership it has continued to work with them this year. Tony explains; “In June last year some of our management team took part in the Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge. We also held a Charity Golf day at Ipswich Golf Club, a cake sale, and a coffee morning. These and other fundraising ventures meant that last year we managed to raise almost £10,000 for Macmillan.”
Monthind has two regional offices in Norfolk, in Norwich and Gorleston, which is the home of its Specialist Cleaning Administration Hub. The company’s team of highly trained operatives provide East Anglia’s biggest corporations with a full package of services including daily office cleans, specialist window cleaning, biohazard, deep and forensic cleans, janitorial supplies and services along with property maintenance, concierge services and caretaking operations. Tony concludes: “It is important to us, as a company, to balance our corporate goals with our social responsibilities; we involve ourselves in local events, and raising money for a national charity that brings benefits to local people is a high priority for us.”
