Contracts firm is cleaning up with major new deals
management services to public and private sector clients, and already works with a growing number of well-known firms and organisations including Hitachi, Quorn, Paragon Group, Gentoo and the Scottish Prison Service.
It has now signed a fouryear partnership agreement with Lancashire County Council to provide services in a range of locations around the county and signed up to a framework agreement with Liverpool City Council.
The business, based at Sunderland BIC Centre, has increased its workforce by around 100 people in the last year and now employs around 1,300 staff – 500 in the North East.
Its annual turnover is expected to reach £11.5m for the next financial year, and it is continuing to work towards its goal of becoming a £20m turnover company with around 2,000 employees.
Maxim also has offices in Leeds and Glasgow, and is continuing to particularly build its presence in the education sector, working with over 100 schools, further education and higher education institutions.
Graham Conway, founder and managing director, said: "We are already wellestablished as the North East’s largest independent cleaning and facilities management firm, and these latest contract successes very much reaffirm this position.
"As well as bringing new clients on board around the UK, we’re also seeing many existing customers signing contract extensions and renewals, which is the best possible testament to the quality of service that our team provides.
“The education sector continues to be a high-performing area for us.
“As a company that’s very firmly headquartered in the North East, it’s especially pleasing to be passing the 500 mark for the number of people that we employ across the region.”
