A Bristol-based cleaning business has been bought out of administration, saving 70 jobs across the city. Proficient Cleaning has been bought by commercial cleaning services provider Ecoserv Group.
The sale of the business and some of its assets to London-registered Ecoserv was secured within 48 hours of the appointment of FRP Advisory as administrators on March 22.. The deal will see all 70 of Proficient Cleaning's employees transferred to the company's new owner.
Jean-Henri Beukes, chief executive of Ecoserv Fm Group, added: “Proficient Cleaning has longstanding experience and an established presence within the Bristol area, so this acquisition will strengthen our existing operation within the South West of England. We look forward to our new colleagues joining the business and working closely with the company’s customers to best meet their cleaning needs.”
