Earns Elite Certification from Building Service Contractors Association

BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Coverall Cleaning Concepts announced today that Peter Sheldon, the company's Vice President of Operations, has been awarded Certified Building Service Executive (CBSE) status by the Building Service Contractors Association International (BSCAI). Sheldon is among an elite group of building service professionals to qualify for the CBSE designation, which recognizes individuals who meet the highest standards of the profession.

Sheldon earned the certification based on comprehensive testing covering all aspects of the building service contracting business as well as credentials accumulated during his more then 17 years in the building service contracting industry. BSCAI is a trade association that represents more than 2,000 member companies that provide cleaning, facility maintenance, and related services to building owners and managers in 40 countries.

"The commercial cleaning business requires broad knowledge of everything from quality control to insurance, first aid, safety, bonding and beyond, but typically facility owners and managers have no way of knowing whether their cleaning service has expertise in all of the necessary areas," Sheldon said. "My intention in pursuing the CBSE designation was to challenge myself personally as well as to give building personnel an objective measure of Coverall Cleaning Concepts' abilities. Earning the CBSE title has allowed me to do both."

"The recognition is not only an honor for Peter but for the whole Coverall Cleaning Concepts organization. It demonstrates our firm commitment to quality and professionalism," said Ted Elliott, president and chief executive officer of Coverall Cleaning Concepts. "That commitment is the engine that fuels our continuing growth, and Peter is playing an important role in helping us fulfill our mission of facilitating the delivery of the best cleaning results in the industry."

Sheldon joined Coverall Cleaning Concepts in 1998 following 8 years of experience in the industry both as the owner of Sheldon Enterprises, a building service contracting firm in Kansas City and as a Regional Director with Jani-King. Before being appointed to his current position in 2005, he served as Regional Director of the company's Kansas City office, Divisional Manager for the Denver and Philadelphia areas, and Director of Hospitality for Coverall Hospitality Services, Inc.

During his Coverall Cleaning Concepts career, Sheldon's major accomplishments have included spearheading the development of a proprietary cleaning system for healthcare facilities that has been shown to improve cleanliness, efficiency and infection control. He was also a catalyst in the formation of a strategic alliance with Procter & Gamble that includes the Coverall Hospitality Services Program and gives Franchise Owners access to newly developed P&G cleaning technology. Most recently Sheldon cultivated yet another joint development agreement with Kaivac Cleaning Systems Inc. in order to design cleaning systems that maximize soil and microbe removal for health based cleaning and scientific standards for the measurement of cleaning effectiveness.

Coverall Cleaning Concepts' Franchise Owners provide cleaning services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Service offerings include routine cleaning as well as a menu of specialized and premium services including hard floor care, carpet cleaning, window/blind cleaning, restroom sanitation, ceiling and wall cleaning, and fire/flood restoration.
