I went to the ever popular Brighton and Hove Chamber networking breakfast this morning. We got to talking about how the atmosphere of friendliness is, perhaps, quite unique to our city.
We’re all in it together. Success of our individual businesses will reflect on our community as a whole. If we all support each other and do business with a smile rather than a snarl, then I like to think that this has a positive effect on us all.
We all have competitors, but if you believe you’re offering a great product or service then there is room for us all. We’ll all win some, we’ll all lose some. But let’s stay friendly!
There are a lot of local cleaning companies who Green Mop competes with, along with some national ones. The national companies want to come in and “steamroller” the local ones. So my one plea would be to choose local. It may not be Green Mop, it may be one of my competitors, but please choose a local business. It benefits us all in the long run.

Did you know that Johnny Sparkles does our site inspections and has his own Sparkle-o-Meter scale? All our hardworking Green Moppers have to pass the Sparkle test to get good marks on the site inspection. So Johnny has demanded his own page on the website so that he can explain what he’s marking people on, how he decides the score and why. He’s like the Simon Cowell of Green Mop - harsh, but fair. Only he can judge if a Green Mopper has The Mop Factor.
