Bespoke Cleaning Redefined
Bespoke was built on the notion of redefining cleaning and the belief that a cleaning service should always deliver what has been promised.
Abandoning the traditional model, which entirely hinged on area managers, was a bold first step. Soon Bespoke were recruiting operational staff from outside the industry, committing to 24/7 operational availability and building a customer service function that delivered what clients wanted.
