What Tarem Services does

Tarem Services is a London-based social enterprise founded in 1999 that delivers commercial cleaning, facilities management and construction labour services to commercial and public-sector clients across the United Kingdom and Ireland. The company operates through nine service lines (office cleaning, school cleaning, window cleaning, carpet cleaning, pest control, washroom supplies, construction welfare cleaning, construction labour supply, and house clearance and waste management), delivered primarily by its own employed staff on client premises, and reports a 51-100 employee headcount with offices in Brockley (South London) and North Finchley. Named enterprise customers include Morgan Sindall Property Services, Wates Living Space, Balfour Beatty, Pollard Thomas, Axiom Law, CBRE and Zurich UK, with the CBRE/Zurich relationship covering 13 locations as of July 2026; public-sector clients include Westminster City Council, Croydon Council and Waltham Forest Council, primarily via the Mobile Foodbank channel. Revenue is generated through recurring monthly or contract-based subscription arrangements with commercial clients, plus ancillary fees for pest control, washroom supplies and waste management, with pricing quoted per contract and not publicly disclosed.

Operationally, the company is a labour-intensive services provider rather than a technology platform. Service delivery relies on conventional cleaning equipment and industry-standard methodologies, supported by ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, Constructionline Gold, SMAS Worksafe, RISQS, CIRAS, BICSc and Living Wage accreditations; no proprietary technology platform, API, or software product is described. Tarem differentiates via a social-enterprise operating model: it pays the real Living Wage, operates profit-sharing and employee-ownership principles, and operates a career-development grant programme for staff, which named clients specifically cite as the source of consistent staffing in a sector with chronic churn.

Commercial strategy is anchored in social value positioning. The Mobile Foodbank initiative, launched in October 2024, has supported over 2,488 individuals, delivered 15 distributions and recorded more than 436 volunteer hours by June 2026, with distribution partners including Westminster City Council, Croydon Council, Waltham Forest Council and WPS; it functions as both a community programme and a sales asset within construction and FM procurement frameworks. In March 2026 the company received a Social Value Award from the Northern Home Counties Supply Chain Awards hosted by Morgan Sindall Construction, and in the same period obtained SBTi approval for a near-term 42% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 2030 (base year 2024). In July 2026 Tarem expanded commercial cleaning services across 13 CBRE-managed Zurich UK property portfolio locations spanning the UK and Ireland, accompanied by 20 tonnes of CO2 offset via Carbon Footprint Ltd and 20 trees planted.
