We’re looking forward to an exciting 2011, with a rebrand planned and our attendance confirmed at a number of exhibitions – it’s going to be a busy one!

In line with our company policy to select environmentally friendly products and services we have invested in new Astra ecoFLEX cars for our Eco Services Sales Managers. The ecoFLEX models produce very low CO2 omissions and have a ‘Diesel Particluate Filter’ which filters out harmful soot particles from the exhaust gases. So our Sales Team can get out to see our national customer base without harming the environment!

Fantastic news, United Services has been included in the Who’s Who publication for ‘Britain’s Business Elite’. The publication highlights those business leaders who drive companies that have recorded the highest growth rate, based on shareholders funds over a two year period.

This is great recognition for all the hard work the United team has put in over the years!

To cope with our increasing customer demand we have replaced our older Northampton fleet with 2 Scania 18 ton lorries; and at out Slinfold depot we have replaced our old lorry with a DAF 7.5 ton lorry. These vehicles will mainly be used to service our United Eco Services customers who require large quantities of wipes.

We are proud to announce the release of our new website which coincides with our exciting rebrand.

Please have a look around and keep checking back as we add more features to the site.

United Eco Services (UES) had a fantastic show at Northprint 2011. Taking place in Harrogate on 10th – 12th May the Northprint Expo is a popular platform for suppliers to showcase their latest innovations for the printing industry. Over the 3 days UES demonstrated our unique ecosafe concept to a number of potential customers and partners and generated a great deal of interest in the concept.

 
United Hygiene Services (UHS) followed suit with another successful stand at The Facilities Show on the 15-17th May at the NEC, Birmingham. Exhibiting to Facilities Managers across the country UHS demonstrated our full range of washroom products and service offerings.

We’ve been working really hard over the past few months on our exciting new rebrand and it’s finally happened. United Services South Ltd has become United Hygiene Services Ltd with the United Washroom, United Mats and United Spa divisions providing our service offerings. The focus of this company will be to deliver hygienic solutions for the washroom, floorcare and spa environment. Our Workwear and Linen products will sit under the main brand of United Hygiene Services.
 
United Wipes Ltd has been re-named United Eco Services Ltd, delivering our unique concept, Ecosafe. Ecosafe encompasses our belief in the importance of providing our customers with an environmentally safe wiper solution, and also improving health and safety in the workplace.
 
This rebrand will help to clearly identify the services and facilities that we can now deliver to our customers as a “one stop shop”.
 
We’re really proud of our new branding, have a look round our website and see what you think!

United Eco Services and United Hygiene Services joined forces to exhibit at the Railtex Exhibition, in London’s Earl Court 14-16th June. The UK’s rail industry met for the 10th international exhibition of railway equipment, systems and services and we were there to demonstrate our full range of products and services.

Fantastic news, United Services has achieved the ISO9001 accreditation, the internationally recognised standard for the quality management of businesses. The ISO9001 will provide United with quality management systems that will be of real benefit, helping to manage the business effectively and putting in place best practice methodology.

This accreditation indicates our commitment to quality, customer satisfaction, and a willingness to work towards improving efficiency. We have implemented quality management system requirements for all areas of the business including facilities, people, training, services and equipment.

United Hygiene Services (UHS) will be exhibiting at Office on 15-16 September, at London’s Earls Court. Office is the UK’s only dedicated event for the PA and office manager community, including many of the UK’s biggest business-to-business suppliers. Alongside another 175 exhibitors, UHS will be demonstrating our range of high quality washroom, floorcare and spa products and services.

United Hygiene Services had a great response at the Office Exhibition. Over 3,000 PAs, Office Managers, and senior administrative staff attended the event over the two days and there were a variety of nearly 200 exhibitors offering everything from stationery to facilities management solutions.
 

It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase our new branding and meet lots of potential new customers looking for a cost effective solution for their washroom requirements.
 

Business Development Director Kim Buckwell stated: “The Office show was a brilliant place for United Hygiene Services to talk to potential customers and existing partners and suppliers. We’re looking forward to next year’s event already!”

2011 has been a fantastic year for United Services. Despite all of the doom and gloom of the economic climate we’ve undertaken a huge company rebrand and are really proud of our new vehicles, sales collateral and website. It has been a great opportunity for us to show our customers and prospects what we stand for as a company and have launched our new branding at a number of national exhibitions throughout the year.
 

Our new ecosafe video has been launched on our youtube channel, demonstrating the benefits of our ecosafe concept. Click here to have a look!
 

We have also launched our new customer newsletter, UnitedNews which will be sent to our customers on a quarterly basis. This is a fantastic way for us to communicate all of our good news stories to our customers and keep them informed of any new company developments.
 

Earlier in the year we discovered that we’d achieved the ISO 9001:2008 accreditation, the internationally recognised standard for the quality management of businesses. The ISO 9001:2008 will provide United with quality management systems that will be of real benefit, helping to manage the business effectively and putting in place best practice methodology. This accreditation not only demonstrates our commitment to a Quality Management System but also our dedication to continual improvement. ISO 9001:2008 is a culture that has been embraced by everyone within United concentrating on customer service and ongoing training.
 

We couldn’t have achieved the accreditation without a great deal of team effort so congratulations United!
