SUFFOLK-based kitchen cleaning specialist Ingot Services has beaten off national competition to win a contract with Premier League football giant Liverpool.

Ingot, which is based on the Claydon Business Park at Great Blakenham, near Ipswich, will be providing its services across all of the kitchens at the club's Anfield home.

Managing director Alan Maynard said: 'We are delighted to add such an iconic name to our client list and look forward to establishing a long term relationship with Liverpool FC.

'The kitchens cater for hundreds of thousands of visitors every year so our service is paramount.'

Ingot, which celebrates in 25th anniversary this year, has also recently renewed a contract with Coventry City Council.

Mr Maynard added: 'By winning new business we are also creating employment opportunities and have recently been able to take on a further six operatives, meaning we now have an even greater capacity to fulfil cleaning requests anywhere in the UK.'

Ingot supplies a full kitchen cleaning service, including deep cleans, and duct cleaning, an area often overlooked and a potential cause of devastating fires.

It works to suit each client at times that are most convenient and issue a certificate of proof of cleaning, requested by most insurance companies, along with before and after pictures.
