This is for the company. For the TV series, see Spotless (TV series).
Spotless is an Australian-owned, managed and operated integrated services company providing cleaning, catering, laundry services, facilities management and non-core business support to Australia and New Zealand markets.
The company employs more than 35000 people and provides services to private and public sector clients within health; education; leisure, sports and entertainment; defence; government; business and industry; resources; utilities; and laundries.
In August 2012, Spotless was acquired by Australia’s largest and most active private equity player, Pacific Equity Partners (PEP). The firm sold off Spotless’ international operations, delisted the company from the Australian and New Zealand stock exchanges and commenced operating as a private entity.
Under the new ownership, Bruce Dixon was appointed as CEO and the business restructured. This involved tailoring the organisations services to market sectors ensuring clients could have one Spotless management contact. Dixon’s new direction for Spotless also included open communication and pushing decision making and responsibility down into the business. As a result, no industrial relations disputes have taken place since PEP’s takeover with the new approach empowering employees across the business’ entire operations.
Spotless Group could be returning to the stock exchange as early as 2014 in an initial public offering worth $1.5 billion to $2 billion. It would be a remarkably quick turnaround for private equity owners Pacific Equity Partners, who took the company private for $723 million in August last year. Sources close to the company said earnings improved substantially over the past year.
Spotless is a Franco - British television series co-created by Ed McCardie and Corinne Marrinan that premiered in France on Canal+ on March 16, 2015, produced by Tandem Communications ( StudioCanal) in association with Rosetta Media. The series was renewed for a second season by the Esquire Network.
The black comedy-series stars Marc-André Grondin ( CRAZY), Denis Menochet ( Inglourious Basterds), Miranda Raison (24: Live Another Day), Brendan Coyle ( Downton Abbey) and Tanya Fear ( Kick-Ass 2).
