“The Street Rangers and Clean Team have been a great support for the hotel. My team speak so highly of them, how polite they are and how they always update us on what they have done to help. A great resource that we need to recognise and look after.”

Lynda Coaley

“The Street Rangers are an invaluable resource to call upon for our business. They’re respectful, responsive, and do a great job without always getting the credit they deserve. The city would be a much poorer place without them and the work they do.”

Karen Crilly

Fat Face

“The NE1 Clean Team has recently deep cleaned our entire terrace at the back of the hotel overlooking the river, transforming the area and positively impacting the guest experience for our customers. The team did such a good job we had to ask them to come back and do the front area as well, which they were happy to do. The quality of work was to a very high standard, and the team were professional, efficient and friendly.””
