Public Sector

Overseeing a diverse range of public spaces and facilities, managing cleaning services in local authority environments presents a unique range of challenges.

High-traffic areas such as parks, streets, schools, and public transport halls are prone to littering and vandalism. We understand that ensuring hygiene standards in public washrooms, community centres, and recreational facilities is crucial - whilst maintaining the balance between meeting budget constraints and ensuring effective cleaning solutions.

With environmental sustainability an increasingly important issue, it’s imperative that the cleaning products you use are optimised to minimise environmental impact. Through our forward-thinking ‘For Humanity’ sustainability strategy, we work in partnership with local authorities across the country to e ‘give back’ through tailored community impact programmes.

From managing day-to-day cleaning in schools, community centres, and municipal buildings, providing rapid response to incidents, and maintaining public areas, our comprehensive product range, dedicated advisory teams, and national infrastructure ensure an exceptional cleaning service.

Case Studies

ABM Group Our Innovation Programme with ABM resulted in the development of our innovative SlipStop leak collector, helping the team not only manage risks more effectively but present a much tidier and more professional image. Abraham Derby Academy Case Study The Academy, struggling with significant toilet roll waste and messy washrooms, turned to Arrow for a solution. After installing 60 Andarta® System 700 dispensers, they saw zero vandalism, no blocked drains, reduced wastage, improved washroom appearance, shorter maintenance times, and estimated annual cost savings of 2%. Arthur Chatwins and Arrow Connect Arthur Chatwins were unable to fully lock down the products each site could order, leading to inefficiencies across their procurement process, Implementation of ARROW CONNECT, Arrow’s new web-based online portal, transformed their procurement process, enhancing efficiency and control across Arthur Chatinws’ stores.
