Ibis Rotterdam/Vlaardingen, Utrecht and Den Haag/Scheveningen, Novotel Eindhoven, Breda and Rotterdam/Schiedam and Bilderberg Europa Hotel Scheveningen and Parkhotel Rotterdam have chosen EW Facility Services as their cleaning partner for the coming years. For Novotel Breda, the collaboration is new; for the other hotels, it concerns the continuation of an existing, good collaboration. “The fact that, in these times, these partners continue to commit themselves to us with full confidence is a good result of the efforts we made to come through the crisis together.”

Frans de Beer, Director New Business Hotels within EW Facility Services, continues: "Last year, and still today, calls for agility. Together with our partners, we think about how we can reduce costs, without this being at the expense of quality and deployment of personnel. This means working in a result-oriented way, making adjustments to the service where possible, looking at the interests of these hotels and our own organisation, and thus arriving at a solution that works for both parties. Each hotel has its own wishes and needs in this respect, so we went through this process with each hotel in order to be able to deliver tailor-made solutions."

Bing Váhl, Purchase Manager Event Hotels adds: "The vision of EW Facility Services is in line with Event Hotels. Moving with the times without compromising on quality is paramount for both organisations. Especially in these times, the attention for safety and hygiene has grown. Guests expect visible cleaning. A clean environment has become a 'choice factor' rather than a 'hygiene factor'. An important criterion on which guests base their choice for a hotel. EW Facility Services makes a crucial contribution to this feeling of safety and hygiene and is therefore an important part of the total guest experience in our hotels."

Both partners are starting from a bright spot on the horizon, where hotel bookings will increase in the coming period and parallel to that the demand for cleaning services. De Beer: "We are really looking forward to this and therefore see these collaborations with a lot of confidence.
