SPENRA

What SPENRA does

SPENRA (Syndicat Patronal des Entreprises de Nettoyage Région Rhône Alpes) is a regional employers' union founded in 1936 that represents cleaning companies across the eight departments of the Rhône-Alpes territory (now Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes). As the sole regional affiliate of the FEP (Fédération des Entreprises de Propreté) in this territory, SPENRA serves 500+ member companies ranging from micro-enterprises to large cleaning firms, providing official representation before regional authorities, prefectures, and interprofessional bodies, as well as legal, economic, and technical advisory services, training coordination, and access to a curated partner ecosystem.

The organization is co-located within the Maison des Métiers de la Propreté in Lyon alongside its ecosystem partners — INHNI (training), FARE Propreté (innovation funding), AKTO (skills development), GEIQ (HR/personnel provision), and CTIP (technical support). SPENRA curates 19+ supplier partnerships spanning insurance (AG2R La Mondiale), technology (Progiclean, Optillio, MOZAIK Clean, Geotab), consulting (Eiffel Conseils), products (Laboratoires Rochex, ASP Environnement), HR/recruitment (Darcor), and vehicle leasing (Bizbeecar), acting as a vetting and distribution layer for its members. The technology stack is a WordPress-based member portal with no proprietary AI/ML components; digital service delivery is outsourced to partner SaaS platforms.

SPENRA operates as a non-profit funded entirely through tiered annual membership dues calculated on each member's prior-fiscal-year revenue (ranging from a lowest tier for companies under €77,700 to a top tier for companies with €10 million or more in turnover). Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The organization employs approximately 5 staff, including two Déléguées Générales (one of whom is also a jurist), and is governed by an elected Bureau and Conseil d'Administration led by President Vincent Fischer. Its GTM is sales-led, relying on direct field outreach, networking events, and professional associations to acquire members.
