Getting Ready for September
August has been a particularly active month at Merco. As the new school term approaches, our teams have been working hard to prepare schools, workplaces, and other sites conducting deep cleans and ensuring buildings are clean, welcoming, and ready for September.
Beyond our operational efforts, we've continued to strengthen our team and expand our school portfolio. Several exciting developments are underway across the business, positioning Merco for continued growth.
This Month at Merco:
As demand for our services grows, we're strengthening our team to support our expanding client base. This month, we're creating a new Facilities Coordinator position to help us maintain the high standards and reliable service our clients expect.
The Facilities Coordinator will manage key facility operations and support our team's effectiveness as Merco continues to scale. This investment reflects our commitment to sustainable growth and operational excellence.
Facilities Focus: Monthly Highlights
A New School Joins Merco
We're excited to welcome another school to the Merco portfolio. As we head into the new academic year, we're committed to providing the clean, safe, and well maintained environments that schools depend on for their communities to thrive.
Growing Our Team
As Merco continues to grow, we're bringing on a new Facilities Coordinator.
This role will strengthen support for our clients and teams, enabling us to maintain seamless service delivery across an expanding client base.
Summer Deep Cleans at YHS
We'd like to thank the YHS team for their hard work on the summer deep cleans. Preparing a school for students and staff to return requires commitment and attention to detail. Their efforts have created a fresh, welcoming environment for the new term.
Celebrating Our Team
Six members of the Merco team celebrated birthdays this August we hope you had a brilliant day!
Our people are at the heart of everything we do. We've also got eight birthdays coming up in September, so plenty more celebrating ahead.
Supporting Our Continued Growth
Last month, we welcomed 11 new starters to Merco, strengthening our teams across the business.
As we continue to grow, every new colleague plays an important part in helping us deliver a reliable and consistent service for our clients.
Insight: Why Summer Deep Cleans Matter
The summer holidays give schools an important opportunity to carry out cleaning tasks that are more difficult to complete during the busy school term.
A thorough deep clean can help tackle built-up dust, refresh floors, improve washroom hygiene and give shared spaces the attention they need before pupils return.
For school staff and business managers, it also provides reassurance that the building is ready for the new academic year.
At Merco, our teams understand the work that goes into preparing a school for September, and we are proud to support our education clients throughout the summer period.

We're thrilled to have received outstanding feedback from a recent customer satisfaction survey.

They were also highly likely to recommend Merco to others.

"We told you what we wanted, and we have received exactly that. The team is very nice, and nothing is too much trouble."
