Last week, our Head Office team came together to provide vital food supplies and clothing donations as part of our collaboration with Pink Hygiene, supporting St. Vincent’s Centre in Southend.
We had the privilege of visiting St. Vincent’s impressive facilities and were truly inspired by the dedication of their team and the incredible work they do. The Centre provides essential support and community services to individuals and families facing poverty and social exclusion. From food banks and clothing assistance to outreach programs, they are a lifeline for those in need, helping to restore dignity and hope.
A huge thank you to Pink Hygiene for introducing us to this remarkable charity.

On the 16th of October, we celebrated an important day on our calendar—Thank Your Cleaner Day.
We invited our customers and partners to join us in recognising the incredible people who bring our commitment to excellence to life. City & Essex wouldn’t be where we are today without the dedication and hard work of the individuals proudly wearing our logo and consistently delivering the high standards our customers rely on.
On this special day, we paused to acknowledge their invaluable contributions. We encouraged everyone to take a moment—whether it was a heartfelt thank you, a warm smile, or a simple note of gratitude—to show appreciation for the teams who work tirelessly to keep our customers’ spaces pristine, welcoming, and safe.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in honouring the extraordinary individuals who make it all possible. Here’s to our cleaning teams—your hard work does not go unnoticed!
We are thrilled to celebrate our Area Manager, Gabriela Gavriliuc, on her 10-year work anniversary with City & Essex. Gabriela’s passion, hard work, warmth, and commitment have been integral to her team’s success and her customers’ satisfaction. To mark this milestone, we asked her to share some insights and experiences from her journey with us:
Thank you, Gabriela, for your incredible contributions and dedication over the past decade. Here’s to many more years of success together!
Last year, we lost a remarkable colleague and friend, Andy Bennett, whose unwavering commitment to health, safety, and mentorship has left an enduring mark on our company.
In tribute to Andy’s legacy and his impact on all who worked with him, we are proud to announce the inception of the “Andy Bennett Mentor Award.” This annual accolade will serve as a beacon of recognition for individuals who embody Andy’s mentorship, dedication, and support in fostering a culture of continuous professional development.
Andy’s influence remains a guiding light for colleagues, reminding us of the profound impact that mentorship and support can have on individual growth and organisational success.
Stay tuned for the announcement of the first Andy Bennett Mentor Award recipient. Let us continue to inspire, support, and empower one another to reach new heights of achievement and success.
This year marked our fifth year participating in Keep Britain Tidy – Great British Spring Clean.
Five of our committed Head Office colleagues stepped up to the challenge, hitting the pavement and tackling a 1.5-mile circuit of public footpaths, collecting 30kg of waste.
With this year’s contributions, our cumulative efforts have led us to an astounding 180kg of litter collected over the years.
Here’s to another successful year of positively impacting our local community and the environment. Thank you to our incredible team for making a difference, one clean-up at a time!
