Sharing some great news from Victoria. Our team at one of The GPT Group’s premium commercial sites in the heart of Melbourne’s corporate precinct have been awarded GPT’s prestigious “Putting People First” award for 'Raising the Bar' with their response to a major flooding event.

Our People at BIC recognise the value of a great partnership with our clients and will always go above and beyond the call of duty when the going gets tough.

A big congratulations to the site team and a huge “thanks" to the crew at GPT for this wonderful award, which means so much to the whole team.

February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and the BIC team have come out in force to support this important cause. 1,815 females were diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer last year alone. Ovarian cancer is Australia’s deadliest female cancer, with a 5-year survival rate of just 48%. In comparison breast cancer has a 5-year survival rate of 92%.

Teal Ribbon Day, on the last Wednesday of the month is an opportunity to raise awareness and raise much needed funds for research and support.

To find out how you can support the cause, go to the Ovarian Cancer Awareness website: https://www.ovariancancer.net.au/ - where you can find fact sheets, support and many other resources, including their Helpline, access to a private facebook support group and how you can get involved as a volunteer or organiser.

All donations are tax deductible and any donations received tomorrow 23 February will be doubled. Let’s fight Ovarian Cancer together!

The Big Clean Up: With over 3,500 sites nationally and cleaning over 4 million square metres each day, BIC’s core purpose is to clean up Australia. Our head office team jumped at the chance to participate in the official ‘Clean Up Australia’ campaign again this year.

Clean Up Australia Day 2023 is looming on Sunday 5 March, so we thought we’d make a head start on the Meadowbank foreshore park, outside our head office. We’ve made a dent in it already, but it makes you realise just how important Ian Kiernan's Clean Up Australia Ltd campaign is, when there is so much work to be done.

We encourage everyone to register at Clean Up Australia Ltd for the 5 March: https://www.cleanup.org.au/

BIC's ’Star of the Month' for February is Sudhaben “Suter" Patel. Suter works at one of our significant sites in Brisbane.

This is Suter's second time as 'Star of the Month' within the last 18 months - which is a big accolade, seeing as we have over 2,300 employees across the country - but with so much great feedback from our client, we felt we had to recognise her again this month.

Our client wrote: "We wish to advise that the Day Cleaner, Suter, is performing an outstanding job. The number of complaints we now receive is down to ZERO, from our previous (facility services) provider, of 1- 2 per week."

"Our Tenants have noticed the difference and have advised us of the improved cleanliness - and consumables are stocked regularly. Suter is proactive and is even attending to areas that were not detailed to her by me."

"Please pass on our appreciation of the great work that Suter is doing. It has not gone unnoticed by us."

Congratulations, Suter on a splendid effort upholding BIC standards and going beyond the call of duty, demonstrating what a great impact our industry can have directly with our clients and their tenants.

What do data and cleaning have to do with each other? Data solutions like sensors and tracking beacons provide real-time feedback and information that allow us to adjust our cleaning, maintenance and waste management services, saving time and resources.

It’s just one of the many ways we use technology to improve the cleaning experience for our clients.
