ICE Cleaning Signs Contract With Solihull Moors F.C.

On Tuesday 19^th July, Adam Rhodes, Chairman at ICE Cleaning, shook hands with Darryl Eales, Chairman at Solihull Moors Football Club, as the pair celebrated the signing of ICE Cleaning as the Club’s official cleaning contractor. From 1^st August, ICE Cleaning will be responsible for securing a clean, safe atmosphere for football fans and staff at the ARMCO stadium, the club’s home ground, for the next three seasons.

The cleaning contract will see ICE Cleaning deliver all core daily cleaning services at the ARMCO, as well as an annual full stadium clean and monthly ICE SHIELD® decontamination cleans.

Established in 2017, ICE Cleaning is a specialist provider of hygiene and cleaning solutions nationwide, ranging from stadium cleaning and fire damage cleaning to pest control. Their technicians have a wealth of experience in the industry, delivering cleaning services across all types of environments. ICE Cleaning also holds multiple accreditations with industry-leading organisations, including IOSH, IPAF, and Safe Contractor. Customer and staff safety is at the forefront of everything they do.

For ICE Cleaning’s Chairman, Adam, this partnership holds special value, having grown up in the Solihull area. He looks forward to becoming more involved with his local team and community through ICE Cleaning’s work with Solihull Moors. The partnership will see ICE Cleaning work closely alongside Chairman of SMFC, Darryl Eales, who has been at the club for four years, joining in 2018. He is a co-owner of the football team, as well as Director of their community charity, the Solihull Moors Foundation, which works to help those who live in the local area.

ICE Cleaning first engaged with Solihull Moors F.C in May 2021, when the cleaning experts were asked to support the Club as it prepared to re-open its doors following the pandemic. ICE Cleaning’s technicians carried out a deep clean of the entire stadium, including high-traffic areas such as the refreshment hubs, changing rooms and media area. Following the clean, the team employed an ICE SHIELD® decontamination treatment. This guaranteed full surface protection in the offices and hospitality areas against bacteria and viruses for a period of up to 28 days.

ICE Cleaning’s innovative ICE SHIELD® technology works by blending electrostatic technology and a persistent solution, suitable for industrial, commercial, and domestic settings. The solution releases positively charged particles into the atmosphere, attaching themselves to negatively charged particles on solid exteriors. For a busy location such as a football stadium, ICE SHIELD® is the perfect solution for adding another defensive barrier to key touchpoints such as ticket barriers and door handles.

Since this first visit, ICE Cleaning has returned multiple times to provide specialist cleaning services to ensure excellent hygienic conditions during training sessions and football matches. This has given employees and players peace of mind that they can safely attend work and deliver high-quality entertainment and services to supporters.

Providing successful cleaning solutions to football teams is something ICE Cleaning already has much experience with. Through their work as the official cleaning contractor for West Ham United F.C., they have formed a strong relationship with the Company and kept the grounds and facilities in superb condition by carrying out effective daily and decontamination services. ICE Cleaning will utilise this knowledge and expertise to achieve fantastic results for the Solihull Moors Football Club.

Commenting on the official partnership, Darryl shared, "The operations team at Moors put the well-being of all players, staff & visitors to the club at the top of their list, so we were delighted to tie up our relationship with ICE Cleaning after they had shown us the ICE SHIELD® and how well this has worked for West Ham United F.C.”

Adam commented, "As you can imagine, combining living in Solihull with being Chair of ICE Cleaning, I’m overjoyed to help tie up a commercial relationship between the Moors and ICE Cleaning for the next three years. Not only is it great to be working with a genuine and successful grassroots football club, but also an opportunity to extend ICE Cleaning’s reach into the local West Midlands community – we’ve purchased five community season tickets at the Moors as part of this endeavour.”
