About Us
In the Beginning
Sapphire is a company founded by Glen Baker in October 2004, and started operating as Sapphire Cleaning Solutions Limited. Glen Baker's background has always been in the building and cleaning industry, progressing on to become General Manager with a plc company for 10 years before establishing his own business.
Sapphire began working for the Corporation of London, undertaking call outs to Bishopsgate, Snow Hill and Wood Street Police Stations for emergency specialist cell cleans, such as HIV sufferers, scabies, hepatitis and bodily fluid deposits left by the public. Sapphire also supplies sanitary requirements and sharps removals to several sites within the Corporation of London Departments.
Sapphire undertook several cleaning contracts plus security services for offices, shops and blue chip companies such as Pickfords plc, Starbucks, University of Liverpool, and various other companies that can be seen on the client's page All of these companies continue their contracts with Sapphire at the present time.
In 2006 Sapphire approached the Barracuda Group regarding Planned Maintenance nationally, for which we commenced work in November of that year.
From then on Sapphire changed their Company name to Sapphire Property Solutions (GB) Limited incorporating our more diverse services.
