What It's Like Working For Rapid.

"What I most appreciate about Rapid is the sense of inclusiveness. Rapid does not discriminate workers, we are all treated equally regardless of our background, religion, ethnicity, culture, etc"

Julia, Cachinhama, Contracts Manager



"Since joining Rapid almost 2 years ago, I have been given opportunities to learn and develop and have been fully supported with my own personal development. Rapid is a great company to work for and I enjoy working with a fantastic Head Office team."

Becki Lee, HR Support



“What I love most about Rapid is that everyone in the company (including the directors) is willing to listen and help each other in order to take the company forward."

Eddie-Lawrence Kalule, Operations Manager



"I have worked for Rapid Clean since December 2017 but with the company’s training, support and motivation, 18 months later I was promoted to Operations Manager. This is evidence that Rapid helps staff to progress and wants people to succeed."

Sabeeh Tahir, Operations Manager



“I love working for Rapid because I have a good manager who is good to everyone. Thanks also to the managers and members in the office – all nice people.”

W Gablah, Cleaning Operative



"Rapid Clean is the best company I have worked for. The management is brilliant and my Regional Manager is always so supportive. Andy deserves a pat on the back for all his effort and the support he gives to us.”

D Russell, Cleaning Operative



"The communication that I get from my Contracts Manager is better than any manager I’ve had before. When she visits the club she always involves me and I find her helpful and fun to work with.”

S Williams, Cleaning Operative



“I have a great relationship with my Contracts Manager, he is very cooperative and a professional person who is always there to listen to us. Whatever issues we throw at him, he deals with it on time.”

K Agbotske, Cleaning Operative



“From day one I liked working for Rapid Clean. After training, I have had the freedom to exercise my skills and can take ownership of my work. The customer is happy and I have been rewarded for good feedback. I don’t know many other employers who care as much.”

D Madega, Cleaning Operative

“No cleaning company will get it right immediately but in Rapid we found one that is willing to persevere and try to understand how we at Bristol Grammar School work. I can now honestly say that Rapid has got it right and are providing an excellent service for us.”
