Peartree Cleaning Services

What Peartree Cleaning Services does

Peartree Cleaning Services Ltd is a UK-headquartered, family-owned commercial cleaning and support services provider founded in 1986 by Bradley S Reames and now led across three generations with six executive directors who are also shareholders. The company delivers managed cleaning contracts — including daily office cleaning, housekeeping, carpet and window cleaning, washroom hygiene, retail cleaning, waste management and periodic deep cleans — to more than 300 clients across commercial offices, premium retail, manufacturing, education, government/regulatory bodies, and aviation/hospitality verticals, operating from a Brentwood HQ and four regional offices in Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow and Manchester with a workforce spanning all four UK nations. The technology layer comprises Peartree 360, a bespoke cloud-hosted quality management platform providing real-time data across health and safety, audits, PPMs, training, spend tracking, invoicing and ESG reporting, supplemented by QR-code task validation, the Peartree & Me employee wellbeing app, the Peartree Training App aligned to British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) standards, and an Occupancy Driven Cleaning (ODC) methodology that integrates IoT sensors and desk allocation data to optimise schedules. Equipment-side, the company deploys AI-enabled Phantas floor-cleaning robots, ZAKO X1000 robotic vacuums, Dryft cordless scrubbers and the Façade 360 window-cleaning system using 3D building models.

The commercial model is enterprise sales-led: a dedicated Business Development Director and Business Development Manager pursue opportunities through competitive tenders and direct client relationships, with Divisional Directors each managing over 100 contracts and regional account managers providing weekly inspections and daily site audits. Revenue is generated through bespoke multi-year managed services contracts priced on a per-site, per-scope basis (the publicly disclosed General Medical Council contract is valued at £1.8M across seven UK sites), with no public pricing, no resellers or franchisees, and all cleaning operatives employed directly. Annual turnover is £30M (disclosed on the company website), the workforce totals 1,500+ individuals, and the customer base includes Schroders, BT, Selfridges, Foster and Partners, Olympus UK and Farnborough Airport. The company has remained independent throughout its 40-year history with no external investment or parent company, holds an EcoVadis Gold rating placing it in the top 5% of companies globally for ESG performance, is a Science-Based Targets initiative listed company, Living Wage Foundation employer, and UN Global Compact signatory, and operates a 96% electric vehicle fleet targeting full electrification by end-2026.
