The transport sector is the lifeblood of the nation, operating around the clock to connect people and businesses. For those managing transport hubs, from motorway service areas to vehicle depots, maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming environment is a constant challenge. High footfall, vehicle emissions, and the need to provide excellent welfare facilities for drivers and the public demand a facilities management partner that is both robust and responsive. At TCFM, we provide specialised cleaning and support services to the transport sector, helping you to enhance your customer experience and maintain operational efficiency.

The challenges are diverse. Public-facing sites require impeccable standards of cleanliness to uphold brand reputation, although operational depots need to prioritise health and safety to prevent slips, trips, and falls. Managing a geographically dispersed network of sites also requires a partner with a national reach and the ability to deliver a consistent service across the board.

Our partnership with a large motorway service area operator, is a prime example of our capabilities. We successfully mobilised 209 colleagues across 56 nationwide sites in just nine weeks. This complex mobilisation involved:
- A Seamless TUPE Transfer: We TUPEd over 200 colleagues, including managing long-term sick cases, and simultaneously recruited for 73 vacancies.
- Rapidly Improving Standards: We addressed inherited issues from the previous supplier, and the feedback from their management was immediate, with one manager noting, “it’s like day and night with the cleaning standards on my site.”
- Enhanced Management Structure: We increased the management structure to five dedicated Area Managers, allowing for a closer working relationship with our colleagues and their on-site teams, ensuring issues are dealt with swiftly and proactively.
This experience demonstrates our ability to manage large, complex, and geographically diverse contracts, delivering a tangible improvement in service quality from day one.

We know that transport hubs, from train stations to airports, face a wide range of security challenges, including crowd control, counter-terrorism, and theft. Our approach is to create a secure, welcoming environment that keeps services running smoothly.
