Report
We have used Julius Rutherfoord cleaners for over 6 years. They do a decent job and most importantly they are trustworthy. I can also say that the manager we have, Daniela, works extremely hard herself. This was never more evident than when we moved offices and the new place needed an intensive floor clean on a tight schedule. Daniela did as much of the cleaning as any of her team, ensuring we had a great job done to the deadline. That says a lot.

Report
In August 2009, West Thames College appointed Julius Rutherfoord as the Commercial Cleaning contractor for our 20,400 m2 campus in lsleworth. It is a pleasure to state that our relationship with them has grown from strength to strength since the start of the contract which has been re-tendered and extended to include a second campus since its original set set up. They have maintained very high standards throughout to show off our facilities brilliantly.
