Commercial cleaning start-up Upbeat Clean<\/a> has enjoyed an \u201camazing year\u201d as Marketing Derby\u2019s<\/a> Rising Star after landing a string of new contracts across the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, during the inward investment promotion agency\u2019s Annual Business Event, held at Derby Theatre<\/a>, the social enterprise was announced as the winner of the competition, which recognises innovative new businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded by existing Bondholder Upbeat Communities<\/a>, Upbeat Clean combines a cleaning service with life-changing employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was launched to enable refugee women to access training and rebuild their lives through real living wage employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It supports refugees from all over the world who come to Derby \u2013 including those who have come from war-torn Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since becoming Rising Star, Upbeat has secured contracts with a range of organisations, including Vaillant<\/a> and Getinge, which have both opened new buildings at St. Modwen Park Derby, a new development created by St. Modwen Logistics<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has also started partnering with Reach Events<\/a>, Derby Museums<\/a>, Derby City Mission and Smith of Derby<\/a>, along with Morgan Sindall and Liversage Trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Gladwell, head of enterprise at Upbeat Clean, said: \u201cWe\u2019ve had an amazing year since being named as Marketing Derby\u2019s Rising Star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a result, we have doubled the number of people we employ to 30, the majority of whom are from refugee backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis has resulted in many refugees and survivors of modern-day slavery getting employed for the first time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Rising Star for 2024 will be announced at Marketing Derby\u2019s forthcoming Annual Business Event, which will once again take place at Derby Theatre, on 20 February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
