Celebrating Being Clean For A Decade

2018 marks Merco's 10th Birthday! 

This time 10 years ago, award-winning founding director, Simon Dresdner, launched Merco from his own garden shed. A frustrated ex-property manager, inspired by his own negative experiences, he decided to give Greater Manchester what it was sorely lacking; a skilled and reliable cleaning company.

After starting out with himself as the sole employee, he went on to build our fantastic company, which now employs over 100 staff. This 10-year milestone marks a decade of rapid yet sustainable growth, a shiny new rebrand, an office relocation and more importantly, solving the issues of frustrated business and premises owners by delivering 100% reliability and satisfaction day in, day out.

Simon said: "As we celebrate a whole decade of cleanliness, we’re very proud of what Merco has achieved and the committed and dedicated team we have in place."

"In the beginning, Merco’s vision was to become the most reliable and trustworthy cleaning and facilities services provider in the North West. Today, we’ve become Manchester’s fastest growing cleaning company and the only cleaning contractor in the North West with a 100% Reliability Guarantee. Mission accomplished.

"Being here today, able to celebrate this momentous occasion, also means that we’ve broken two massive national statistics; in that 80% of businesses fail in the first 5 years and then 80% of those successful businesses fail within the next 5 years. Look at us, still here to tell the tale!"

He continued: "A lot has changed in 10 years, but our core values have always remained the same. What has always made Merco stand out is our commitment and guarantee to our clients that they will never be let down, after all that was the reason Merco was formed in the first place.

“We have only managed to reach this exciting milestone due to the commitment and dedication of our fantastic team who work tirelessly in making sure we always work towards fulfilling our vision.

We are looking forward to the next chapter where Merco will be providing our 100% reliable cleaning service to many more frustrated businesses, residential blocks and schools across Manchester and the North West. We will also continue to look to grow through acquisition, word of mouth and creative marketing, and our dream to become a 5-million-pound business in the next 5 years are not far away now.”
