Commenting on the award, Cleankill’s Managing Director Paul Bates said: “Winning the GDBA ‘Green Business of the Year’ award in 2017 and now winning it again in 2020 shows that we are continuing to move forward as a business. Certainly, no one can accuse us of resting on past glories!
“The Gatwick Diamond area is enormous and includes thousands of businesses; to be shortlisted is a real achievement, but to win is absolutely fantastic. After everything 2020 has thrown at us, this is a wonderful way to end the year.
“This award is a real credit to every member of the team, from office staff to surveyors and technicians. We are always looking for better ways to do our job effectively, while reducing our carbon footprint. Our customers now know they can rely on us to get the job done but in the most environmentally responsible way possible.”
