Use Cathedral Hygiene

Despite being a contract customer for 6 years, the sanitary bins are overflowing, air fresheners are not being refilled, mats are not being changed and we've ran out of toilet rolls because promised contract deliveries did not arrive. They said they would do an emergency drop during service, but that did not arrive as well and no one called, so we had a full restaurant but had to close 4 out of 6 cubicles as it was too late to fetch Andrex. No ones picking up the phone to resolve. Just give you a case number, it's logged in the system etc....... Use Cathedral Hygiene instead. They pick up, whwn they rarely get it wrong.
