Nothing but admiration for the team behind Thetford Open Gardens. This being their 20th year they set out to raise £20,000, as you can see they smashed it.

Delighted in a small way to have been able to support this wonderful community effort. Over two decades of giving by them. It's simply inspiring.

🌙✨ Shhh... while you were relaxing, we were busy!

Before: chairs up, hoover out, our team hard at it 🧹

After: floors you could eat your breakfast off (please still use a plate though) ☕🥐

One evening clean = one coffee shop ready to smash the morning rush. No mess, no stress, just sclean.

Here's something nobody tells you when you start a business:

Clients notice your building before they notice you. The floors, the lobby, the loos (yes, always the loos) they're all quietly forming an opinion before you've said a word.

A clean, well-maintained space says "we've got our act together." A not-so-clean one says… well, you know.

At WPM we help businesses make the right first impression — every day, not just when visitors are due.

✅ Cleaning plans built around your schedule
✅ Flexible hours — evenings, weekends, daily if needed
✅ A consistent team who knows your building
✅ Eco-friendly options available

If your current cleaning feels more like a gamble than a given, let's sort that out.

Right, it's been two months since The Employment Rights Act 2025 landed, described as the biggest shake-up to UK employment law in a generation — its well and truly here, with more changes still rolling out into late 2026 and 2027.

For those of us in commercial cleaning (where early starts, shift patterns, and part-time contracts are just Tuesday), it's been quite the adjustment.

Here's a quick recap of what's changed or coming:

⚖️ Paternity and unpaid parental leave are now day-one rights — no waiting period needed
🔄 "Fire and rehire" practices face much stricter regulation — possibly banned altogether
📋 The unfair dismissal cap gets removed in January 2027 (fun times ahead for HR teams 😅)

We've been busy updating contracts, revisiting policies, and having lots of very grown-up conversations with our HR advisor.

Genuinely curious — how are other business owners finding it? Manageable tweak, or full-on admin avalanche?

Some contracts are commercially important. Others just feel like the perfect fit.

Today, we believe we’ve partnered with Mark’s ideal client, an independent coffee shop chain. ☕

Anyone who knows Mark will know he possesses an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of the best coffee spots across Norfolk & Suffolk, so I’m fairly confident these “routine site visits” may become slightly more frequent than strictly necessary.

Joking aside, we’re genuinely excited to support another growing independent business and look forward to building a strong long-term partnership together.

Delighted to support our local cricket club, wonderful inclusive community project.

This week we commenced services at two schools supporting young people where mainstream education is not always the best fit. Whilst both projects matter enormously, one in particular means a great deal to me personally as we are providing the service free of charge.

Running a business inevitably involves conversations around budgets, margins, targets, and growth. But I’ve always believed business should also have a place within the community it operates. Sometimes giving back is just the right thing to do.

Over the years I’ve been fortunate that people have supported me, opened doors, and shown kindness at moments it mattered. If we are in a position to help others, even in a small way, I think we have a responsibility to do so.

I’m incredibly proud of the team for embracing that mindset and understanding that not every decision is driven purely by profit. Sometimes the value created cannot be measured on the balance sheet.

Great news for the team today, we’ve secured a new contract with a large educational establishment 🎉
It’s always rewarding to see our hard work and reputation leading to continued growth, especially within the education sector.

Behind the scenes, it’s our systems and structure that keep everything running smoothly—helping us deliver consistent standards, respond quickly when needed, and give our clients real peace of mind.

A big thank you to the team for making this possible 👏

If you’re reviewing your current cleaning provision or planning ahead, we’re always happy to have a conversation.
