Good Relationships

Becoming self-employed enabled Anders Andersen to have sufficient time to provide a perfect window-cleaning service and also to be able to tidy up after completing the work. The company who had previously employed him did not allow enough time to do this. It was very important to Anders that he had good relationships with his customers, and that they were satisfied with the quality of his work.

40 Years of Success

The customers were clearly happy about the partnership with the enterprising young man who never had problems finding new customers and never lost his existing customers. The workload increased and he had to employ personnel and he required them to provide the same quality and service that he himself provided.

 

Anders Andersen’s philosophy was the foundation for the uniquely successful business he has built since starting his career 40 years ago. Anders Andersens Rengøring (Anders Andersen’s Office Cleaning) is Denmark’s biggest privately owned office cleaning company with more than 800 highly competent employees and an exclusive list of clients including many major, well-run Danish companies that all require stable, high-quality cleaning services.

Expansion

The young Anders Andersen’s trademarks – good quality and excellent service – are still the most significant parameters in this thoroughly modern cleaning company. It is renowned for the quality and competence it supplies in the three core activities of day-to-day cleaning, window-cleaning and property maintenance services.

 

Anders Andersen concentrated on windowcleaning until 1978. This work was carried out so very satisfactorily that several customers asked him to take on other tasks. Because of this he added the property maintenance services – with excellent staircase cleaning - to his catalogue of services in 1978 followed by day-to day cleaning in 1980.

Stability & Quality

Within all three of these product categories the customers were delighted by the stability and quality provided by Anders Andersen and his employees. New customers, projects and personnel were added and in 1994 Anders Andersens Rengøring had to move to a new extensive domicile in Taastrup, a suburb of Copenhagen.

 

In the mid 1990s the company acquired a higher degree of public recognition especially because of a sponsorship agreement with Denmark’s new major football club F. C. København (F. C. Copenhagen, FCK). The company name and logo were displayed at the national stadium, in the newspapers and on TV. Anders Andersens Rengøring is, for the 12th year, a major sponsor (Eurosponsor) of Denmark’s most successful football club.

Popular Workplace

The expansion of Anders Andersens Rengøring accelerated in the new millennium. In 2003 a department was opened in the town of Vejle on the mainland of Jutland in order to provide services for customers in Jutland and on the island of Funen. In that year the number of employees reached over 300 and only two years later there were over 500 employees.

 

Anders Andersens Rengøring is a popular workplace. Despite the doubling of the number of personnel in the past five years the average period of employment is the longest within the cleaning industry in Denmark. The same pattern can be seen as far as customers are concerned – many customers have been with Anders Andersens Rengøring for more than two decades.

 

Through the years Anders Andersens Rengøring has developed strong quality concepts and new competences and because of these the company is the leader in quality cleaning including supervised medical cleaning – absolutely the most demanding form of cleaning.
