Meet the Operations Manager of our Okanagan Commercial Cleaning Division

/in , , , , , , ,

Ranjit Takhar began working at Evergreen Building Maintenance while studying at the University of British Columbia. While attending post secondary, he learned the basics of the business and helped out with complicated paperwork and proposals for maintenance contracts.

Little did he know that at the young age of 24, after completing his Management Degree at UBC Okanagan, he would be successfully running the day-to-day operations for the Okanagan Division of the company.

Recently, he was featured in the second edition of Kelowna’s Top Forty Under 40 program presented by BDO Accountants and Consultants, Kelowna’s Jaycees, the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce and the Daily Courier newspaper.

The article in the Daily Courier highlights Ranjit’s passion for entrepreneurial work that overpowered his initial disinterest in taking over so much responsibility. His love for finding new and creative ways to promote the business has increased opportunities for Evergreen’s expansion.

As of 2016, Evergreen has contracts for 150 buildings utilizing 78 employees to complete building maintenance services throughout the B.C. and Alberta. Kelowna was where it all started, with Evergreen taking care of several commercial buildings, libraries, office towers, municipal buildings, retail stores, etc.

However, Takhar believes that the company can adapt to larger operations.

“…there’s opportunity to expand more into Vancouver and Alberta and even Saskatchewan to get more airport, university, retail chain stores, banks and arenas contracts” said Takhar.

Perhaps the success of Evergreen came from successfully executing the strong company philosophy to address performance related concerns within the same business day.

Evergreen is proud of being fully owned and operated. No services are franchised, and there is an emphasis on having regional managers and working supervisors who are always ready to attend to needs of the clients.

Takhar’s hard work in school has continually paid off and he enjoys having the opportunity to use his professionalism and efficiency towards putting forth good business practices towards the range of services offered at Evergreen Building Maintenance.

/in , , , , , , ,

Everyone prefers to live in a well kept city and there is a reason that Evergreen Building Maintenance Inc. has been one of British Columbia’s most trusted janitorial service providers for over 27 years. Thanks to our commitment to excellence, we’ve grown to become a recognized industry leader that provides dynamic and high standard services to more than 120 commercial facilities. We are proud of the fact that we have a first-class team of cleaners, including outstanding supervisors who help us transform new employees and into leaders. Above all that, we present three important reasons that set us apart from the competition:

1) OUR GREEN CLEANING POLICY

It is no surprise that most organizations are jumping on board the eco-friendly bandwagon, however, Evergreen took the initiative to start using green products years ago. Putting your personal health and the sustainability of our environment first, we choose cleaning methods that will reduce harmful effects on the environment. Only products that are GREEN SEAL or ECOLOGO certified are utilized by our company. Evergreen Building Maintenance guarantees that any chemicals used in your building will be volatile organic compound (VOC) free. We also make sure that our staff has substantial training and a wealthy knowledge of the latest green cleaning practices.

2) OUR CREDENTIALS

Wouldn’t you feel more confident hiring a company that has WHMIS certified employees and meets WorkSafeBC’s requirements over one that does not? Evergreen has developed and implemented a comprehensive training program that all of our staff and supervisors go through in order to obtain employment with our company. We are proud to say that our staff members are instructed well enough so that you won’t have to worry about micromanaging them on the job. Together, we will make sure your building stays presentable at all times.

3) OUR TEAM & SERVICE AREA

It only makes sense that if we claim to have an exemplary team, we provide you with the evidence to back it up. Being that our managers have over 50 years of combined experience in the janitorial industry, we have ensured that those years of professionalism have been passed down to all of our other employees. Our staff is provided with company identification such as uniforms and photo identification, rigorous safety training and a PROactive mindset (because avoiding workplace problems before they occur is key). You will find our service members are providing quality results that span throughout cities, districts and towns in and around the Okanagan Valley. As you can see, we like to cover our bases.
