who we are
Delivering cleaning and soft facilities management for the UK’s most demanding environments
Since 2000, CleanEvent Services has grown to become one of the UK’s leading independent providers of cleaning and soft facilities management services, specialising in high-footfall, high-profile environments where presentation, safety and operational performance are critical.
Working in partnership with clients across the sports, leisure, entertainment, commercial, healthcare, education and retail sectors, we deliver tailored solutions that support venues and organisations operating at every scale, from daily business operations to some of the country’s largest sporting and live entertainment events.
Built on experience. Focused on partnership.
Founded in 2000 to provide specialist cleaning services to the sports and events sector, CleanEvent has continually evolved in response to the changing needs of our clients.
Following a management buy-out in 2016, the business entered a new phase of growth, expanding our services, investing in technology and strengthening our presence across multiple sectors while remaining proudly independent.
Over the past 25 years, we have supported some of the UK’s most prestigious events, including the Formula 1 British Grand Prix, Royal Ascot, The Grand National, Birmingham 2022 Commonwelath Games, major concerts, exhibitions and international sporting competitions. Every contract has helped shape the operational knowledge and flexibility that defines our business today.

More than a service provider
We believe successful partnerships are built on understanding how our clients operate.
Rather than delivering a standard cleaning specification, we work closely with every client to understand their environment, operational challenges and long-term objectives.

These are only some of the results you can expect when working with CleanEvent Services:

Sustainability and social responsibility are embedded throughout the way we operate.
