May I thank everyone in the whole Minster Cleaning team, across the UK and in the Network Support Centre for their hard work, particularly over the last 20 months or so when life has been pretty tough. We all have stuck at it. We have encouraged each other to grow again and push that little bit harder to fly higher. A superb effort.”
