We spoke to Managing Director, Alex Lawrence on plans for 2025.
Platinum member Lawrence Cleaning is looking to build upon 41 years of heritage by generating sustainable growth in the next 12 months, says managing director Alex Lawrence.
Have you made any significant investments in your business this year?
We invested in an employee assistance programme for all our 300 plus staff this year. With everything happening at the moment we saw the need for a service to help people with top level advice and services around mental health and personal wellbeing. This is for all our team and their families. We have also started to overhaul some of our older, heavier scrubber dryers with new high tech I-mop machines, making the daily tasks easier and quicker for our team who use them.
How will you be looking to grow in 2025?
We are always looking to grow, but our priority as always been making sure its sustainable. We have been here for 41 years and intend to be here in another 41. Sustainable growth keeps the company in a good position and provides the security for our team. Our growth plans will be in the region of 15% through new client relationships but also expanding the services taken currently by existing clients.
How will you be investing in your team?
We have had one of dedicated team retire recently and another will do in the next few months, so we will be recruiting a few new faces to replace them. We are also looking to expand our management team to bring in a dedicated operations manager to benefit our contracts managers and cleaning teams as well as allow us to continue to provide a top level service to our clients as we grow.
What do you think Black Country businesses can look forward to in 2025?
Hopefully, increased stability. The last couple of years there has been quite a bit of government disruption to say the least, adding on the energy hikes and other big jumps in costs. It felt like we were not sure which way we would be going. This did make it tough to make decisions on direction and investments. Stability seems to be returning and we feel we can look to make decisions for the longer term and get moving on them.
