GREEN DRAIN

Jet Through partners with Green Drain Europe

One of the UK’s leading drainage firms has agreed a partnership to install a revolutionary new drainage product that is paving the way for healthier indoor settings. 

Jet Through, which is headquartered at Birmingham Business Park, has reached an agreement with Green Drain Europe to install their innovative floor drain trap seal product across the UK.

The floor drain trap seal allows for the flow of water but blocks harmful gases including methane, chlorine and hydrogen sulfide – as well as other odours and pests – from emerging from pipes into the atmosphere. 

The floor drain trap seal – which is available in five different sizes – features a UV resistant frame combined with four sealing flanges that fit across older and modern openings.

The product – which was initially launched in the USA in 2021 – is set to be installed by Jet Through engineers in various UK-based healthcare settings, as well as in factories, hotels, restaurants and retail.  

Luke Yates is Associate Director at Jet Through, whose services include the cleaning, unblocking, jetting and repair of drainage systems on commercial and residential properties.

He said: “Our growth as a business has been built on helping to prevent problems rather than providing quick fixes, and our partnership with Green Drain underlines this.

“Partnering with Green Drain Europe is a great vote of confidence in our expertise and reach, and will see us rolling the product out in various industries over the coming months.

“The product also has great long-term eco credentials too, as the drain is self-cleaning and prevents the back flow of water and wastage, therefore removing the need to use traditional chemicals to clean drainage systems.

“Being able to roll-out facilities management products that have long-term benefits for various industries – such as with Green Drain – sets us up for further growth over the coming months as we aim to beat this year’s annual turnover of £1.4 million.”

BUSY BEES FINAL

Drainage & plumbing firm lands nationwide deal with Busy Bees nursery chain

One of the UK’s leading drainage and plumbing firms is buzzing after landing a six-figure, three-year deal to service nationwide nursery chain, Busy Bees.

The agreement will see Jet Through, which is headquartered at Birmingham Business Park, maintaining and repairing internal and external drainage systems – along with other reactive works – at 376 Busy Bees nurseries across the UK.

It comes as Jet Through looks to trump the £1.4 million annual turnover it achieved last year and expand its existing team of engineers nationwide.

Busy Bees is the latest high-profile name to join the firm’s client roster, which also includes the likes of Trios, Diamond Facilities, Boots and Gym Group.

Luke Yates, Associate Director at Jet Through, said: “As a business we are proud of the role that we play to help keep important community organisations operating day-to-day, so we are thrilled to be working with a national brand such as Busy Bees. 

“Winning this contract saw us beat off some stiff competition, and is a big vote of confidence in the direct labour model that we provide to clients.

“Many of our competitors use third parties to deliver services, but our staff are inhouse which means we are able to maintain a consistently efficient service right across the UK – while also providing fantastic personal development opportunities for our staff which helps us to attract the best of the best.

“This – along with our reputation in the sector – played a key role in helping us to secure the opportunity to work with such a well-known brand such as Busy Bees – and these types of working relationships are going to be crucial in helping us to achieve our aim of achieving a fourth consecutive year of growth in 2024.”

GROWTH

Midlands drainage firm soaks up new business to double turnover

A fast-growing drainage and exterior cleaning business is set to double its annual turnover after securing a wave of new clients. 

Jet Through, which is headquartered on Birmingham Business Park, is set to end the year with an annual turnover of more than £1.4 million after securing work with well-known brands including Yo Sushi, Polygon, Boots and Gym Group – taking their client base to around 25.

The past year has also seen the firm investing around £250,000 in its infrastructure to lay the foundations for further growth, including 16 new vehicles with specialist jetting and vacuum equipment.

Services include the cleaning, unblocking, jetting and repair of drainage systems on commercial and residential properties, as well as specialist cleaning of gutters, sewers, walls and floors.

Luke Yates joined Jet Through as an engineer four years ago and is now an Associate Director, leading the day-to-day operations of the business with the support of Jodie Wilson as the Operations Manager.

He said: “I’m really proud of the way the business has bounced back so strongly from the pandemic when, like many other businesses, significant amounts of our custom fell away.

“In December, we are on track to more than double our annual turnover for the third year in a row – and that is testament to the hard work of our workforce across the UK.

“We’ve also developed a consistently high level of customer service – both due to the direct labour model that we run, as well as our ability to use cameras on our jobs to ensure that the cause of any issues are identified and resolved properly by our engineers.

“We are forecasting further nationwide growth again next year, when we hope to expand our presence working with housing associations, pub chains and public sector organisations.”
