EDMONTON, Aug. 20 /CNW/ - Bee-Clean Building Maintenance Inc. is pleased to announce that it is the first Canadian Building Maintenance Company to have been awarded the ISSA Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS) Certification with honours.
Bee-Clean is one of nine North American companies and institutions to have received certification. In achieving this milestone, the ISSA has stated that the "...Organizations that have undergone assessments and officially become CIMS certified have demonstrated a true commitment to the delivery of quality service and meeting customer expectations."
"They are to be commended for having met the challenge of developing and implementing a management structure that promotes and advances operational excellence," said ISSA Director of CIMS Dan Wagner.
CIMS applies to the management, operations, and performance systems of cleaning organizations. Compliance with the Standard demonstrates that a cleaning operation is structured to deliver consistent, quality services designed to meet customers' needs and expectations.
"The addition of the ISSA certification to Bee-Clean's list of awards is another step forward in the company's successful growth," said Mark Andrews, Vice President. "The recognition by ISSA further illustrates our corporate commitment to industry leading cleaning practices and quality customer care."

"This is another example of a Canadian company providing international leadership in management practices," stated Brian Gingras and Jose Correia, Owners. "We are delighted to receive international recognition for the quality work of the dedicated individuals of Bee-Clean."
