DB ESG Announces New Partnership with Upbeat Clean.

(Derby, 9th of December 2024)

DB ESG, a leading provider of rolling stock engineering solutions, is delighted to announce a new partnership with Upbeat Clean (https://www.upbeatclean.co.uk/) a charity-owned commercial cleaning business. Upbeat Clean, part of Upbeat Communities, will now be the chosen commercial cleaning partner for DB ESG’s offices in Derby.

Upbeat Communities has been serving the refugee communities in Derby for over 15 years, helping people who have fled their countries rebuild their lives here. Upbeat Clean addresses some of the challenges faced by refugees by helping them secure employment in a sector often known for low wages and unethical employment practices. However, Upbeat Clean stands out by providing excellent cleaning services to their commercial clients while paying a real living wage to their employees. They also offer mentoring opportunities and supportive, flexible employment.

"We are excited about this partnership and the positive impact it will have on our community," said Nick Goodhand, Managing Director at DB ESG. "Upbeat Clean's commitment to ethical employment practices and community support aligns perfectly with our company’s values."

Upbeat Clean's innovative approach not only ensures high-quality cleaning services but also contributes to social transformation by providing refugees with stable, well-paid jobs and opportunities for personal and professional growth. This collaboration is a testament to DB ESG's dedication to social responsibility and community engagement.
