Our Culture
Introduction
What guides the team at GSA?
It’s our commitment to delivering a reliable, cost-effective, adaptable cleaning service, underpinned by our Values that we call ‘the Four Rs’
- Reputation – we’re committed to delivering an excellent cleaning service for every client, and a positive working environment for our staff
- Reliability – GSA is a ‘safe pair of hands’; delivering a consistent and professional service, for every client, every time
- Responsibility – we are accountable, and every member of the GSA team takes ownership of their part in delivering excellent service for our clients
- Reward – we acknowledge and recognise a job well done
With the 4Rs as our foundations, GSA has been fortunate to enjoy client and staff loyalty. Our values also provide a focus that has supported our ambitions to successfully and organically grow our business. Our growth has been steady and deliberate, with time invested across the business for consolidation. This ensures all new client expectations are met.
