Olympics Clean-up is a Winner For Ryans Cleaning

Tipperary firm Ryans Cleaning has delivered its own winning performance at the London Olympics having cleaned up more than 550 tonnes of waste left in Hyde Park and Victoria Park, where more than a million visitors passed through over the two-week spectacular. During the course of the two weeks, Ryans employed more than 3,600 staff to meet the demands of the operation, using 63,000 refuse sacks and 5,400 pairs of gloves in the process.

Pat Ryan, managing director of Ryans Cleaning, says: “The preparations for this event started back in September. We had to devise a logistical plan of how to move waste in the heart of London during these high volume weeks. We also had to mobilise our people and make sure they had transport to arrive on site on time each day to do the job.”

He adds: “The venues were open each day from 11am to midnight, and it was our job to ensure the parks were clean and maintained during the day and when the visitors left it was down to our night cleaning team to return the venues to their tip-top condition. It was a great team effort.”

The BT London Live event at Hyde Parkf and Victoria Park featured giant screens, music, games and entertainment for the Olympic crowds.

During the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations, 300 of the Ryans Cleaning team provided services at Battersea Park, Victoria Park and sections of Hyde Park and it is estimated that the team gathered between 70 and 90 tonnes of rubbish.

With a turnover in excess of £4 million, Ryans Cleaning employs more than 70 people full-time and 150 seasonal staff serving the requirements of fixed venues, international events, tradeshows and exhibitions as well as commercial, office and industrial cleaning premises in the UK and Ireland.
