Shipshape Recruiting due to Expansion

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Due to the ongoing expansion of the business, Shipshape Cleaning are looking for candidates for two new roles within the company that are being created to enhance our current team.

The first position is for a Contracts Manager who will be partially office based and will be on the road visiting our clients and sites on a regular basis.  They will be involved in our company training programme,  our recruitment process, monitor service levels and be involved in the management and regular reviews of our contracts.

We are also looking for a Marketing Administrator to assist the Business Development Manager with aspects of the company’s Marketing plan and provide support creating Sales & Marketing documentation.

These positions will assist greatly in our continued success and we look forward to these two new members of staff joining our team.

If you are interested in either role, please contact us at:

for further information and a job spec.  NO AGENCIES PLEASE.

Snow is disappearing…..but are you ready for next time?

Monday, January 18th, 2010

At Shipshape we can now offer a service through one of our trusted sub-contractors for gritting sites.

A lot of businesses were caught ill prepared for the amount of snow we have had over the last couple of weeks and before Christmas.

Some employees in businesses around High Wycombe, where we are based, could get into work using main roads reasonably easily as they were gritted by the council. The problem occured for most, struggling in the snowy industrial estates and work carparks.

We can offer two types of service, proactive and reactive gritting.

Being proactive, we can offer an automated gritting call-out service on a contract.  Under this type of service weather websites are checked and gritting takes place automatically should temperatures be below zero.

Our reactive service is on demand gritting.  This is subject to timings and costs and scope for gritting must be agreed prior to a call out.

Gritting takes place between 6pm and 6am the following day.  Salt will be applied to all areas specified in the quotation once during each call out.  Snow clearing is not normally included in the quotations but can also be arranged and quoted for as part of the contract.

You may well think that this is not a priority now we have (hopefully) seen the last of the heavy snow fall but to have this contract in place ready for when this occurs next time makes good sense for your business and the health & safety of your employees.

Email us or call our office for more information and to book a free site survey visit.

Snow Causes Problems….

Monday, January 11th, 2010

The snow is on the ground still and High Wycombe has been particularly badly hit this time.

Main roads are fine now and are pretty clear but minor roads can still be slippery in this area, especially on hills.

As long as there is no more snow fall, roads will be better from now on. 

Shipshape Cleaning offices are open daily. 

Hopefully this week will be a better week…..

Contact us for all your cleaning needs.
