The pair were presented with a special golden multi-award winners trophy to celebrate their achievements.

Robin stated: "Winning this award means so much to us. Our industry is still recovering from the impact of lockdown and the financial pressures that followed.

"I think it’s testament to the incredible hard work, positive attitude and can do attitude of our whole team.

"Without them, we simply wouldn’t be here today. I’d also like to take the opportunity thank our amazing clients, both commercial and domestic.

"We are genuinely grateful for the support and for people choosing us for their cleaning needs. I think that is reflected in our passion and enthusiasm for great service."

Malcolm added: "I’m just over the moon. I can’t believe this is happening and I haven’t stopped smiling since they announced we’d won the award. Thanks everyone."

The pair already have big plans to keep improving, to make sure they are back at the awards in 2025.

Robin explained: "We’re really looking forward to the coming year with lots of plans to continue improving the business and give back to the communities in which we work.

"It’s amazing to win an award but come Monday morning, Malcolm and I will have our heads down and working hard to ensure Flamingo remains at the forefront of our industry whilst retaining our core values."
