Our Results for the Six Steps to Workplace Happiness are: Reward & Recognition - Excellent (84%) Information Sharing - Excellent (80%) Empowerment - Excellent (83%) Wellbeing - Excellent (84%) Instilling Pride - Excellent (83%) Job Satisfaction - Excellent (83%) Due to our outstanding results we secured a spot in the Top 100 Medium Organisation's Best Places to Work 2024. We'd like to say a huge thank you to all of our employees who took the time to complete the survey and to our managing director, Sam Greaves for creating such a happy work environment. Here's to the next achievement!

We are thrilled to share our new sponsorship with triple Paralympic medallist, Aaron Mckibbin. This collaboration marks the beginning of our journey filled with inspiration, resilience and an abundance of support. Cleenol first became acquainted with Aaron during one of our sales meetings back in January. His inspirational story enlightened members of the team, instilling a new found motivation. Aaron's journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and determination. Despite facing challenges along the way, he has demonstrated unparalleled strength and resilience, propelling him to the pinnacle of success in the world of table tennis.

In recent months, our company has experienced significant growth across various departments, notably within our production team. As we continue to expand, it's become increasingly vital to prioritise our relationships with employees. Richard Branson once famously said, "If you look after your staff, they'll look after your customers. It's really that simple." This quote encapsulates our belief in the importance of fostering genuine connections with our team members. To further strengthen these bonds and nurture authentic relationships, our Managing Director, Sam Greaves, alongside the Senior Management team, organised a special outing for our hardworking production staff. Gathering at one of Banbury's local restaurants, we shared a well-deserved meal and moments of camaraderie over a delicious curry. This gesture was more than just a team-building exercise; it was a reflection of our commitment to giving back to our employees. We understand that investing in our team's well-being and fostering a sense of belonging not only boosts morale but also enhances productivity and overall job satisfaction. Despite indulging in a few too many beers, we were thrilled to witness a full turnout the following day. This reaffirmed our belief that when employees feel valued and supported, they are more motivated to contribute their best to the company's success. At Cleenol, we recognise that our employees are our greatest asset. By prioritising authentic relationships we hope to continue creating a positive work environment where everyone thrives.

Don't forget to book mark it.

In the fast-paced world of business, it's easy to fall into the trap of routine and familiarity. However, at Cleenol, we believe in the power of pushing boundaries and stepping outside of our comfort zones to foster growth and innovation. This principle was front and centre at our recent quarterly sales meeting, where we embarked on a journey of exploration and self-discovery under the theme of 'Testing our Comfort Zone / Going to New Places'. We used a new venue this time round which conveniently aligned with this meeting’s theme of testing our comfort zone leading to an early morning swim in an outside lake of 7 degrees Celsius! While it was a real challenge, it set the tone for an inspiring and productive meeting. We discovered a newfound sense of resilience and camaraderie, as we faced the challenge head-on together. We're excited to implement the insights gained from the experience and meeting to help propel our team to even greater heights. At Cleenol, we understand that true growth lies beyond the confines of familiarity. By stepping boldly into the unknown and embracing discomfort as a catalyst for change, we unlock the doors to a future filled with endless possibilities.
