 Company HistoryThe company was founded in 1978 by Margaret and John Pitcher who cleaned the offices of IPC Business in Oakfield House, a multi tenanted office block in Haywards Heath. Due to their reliability and quality of work they were awarded the contract for cleaning the common parts of the building and contracts with the other tenants soon followed. One of these tenants Affinity Solutions remains a customer to this day. When Margaret and John decided to retire in 1995 it was an ideal opportunity for their son Nick and his business partner Robert Morris to step in and take the company forward. Robert and Nick had each gained 10 years experience of commercial cleaning working in London for OCS, a national cleaning contractor. Sussex Cleaning & Care have continued to build upon its reputation for reliability and quality by delivering a professional range of services whilst remaining competitive. The company remains totally focused on its target market, the more discerning Sussex based small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs). They are professional and they want to deal with professionals. They know what they want and anything less isn't good enough. Health & Safety
