suzanne waring interview

The Helping Hands Group has been cleaning and maintaining domestic and commercial properties for 25 years.  Suzanne Waring started with a mop and a bucket 25 years ago and has built her (almost!) 40-strong team into one of the region’s most trusted high-quality cleaning businesses.

They provide a range of cleaning services for both commercial and domestic properties in Lancashire. Bespoke cleaning solutions include everything from regular house cleans to deep cleans and specialist services like carpet and oven cleaning. The business has expanded and now provides home help services, which can include laundry, ironing, and general property maintenance.

Their team is fully trained, supervised, and insured, ensuring a high level of trust and reliability for their clients. In fact, trust, care, and customer experience are at the heart of everything Helping Hands does, and they are happy only when they are happy. That’s why the business has been built on its famous 100% customer guarantee on all services.

In this interview, Suzanne reveals why she chose Evolve Document Solutions as Helping Hands Group’s document management partner.

suzanne waringWhat do Helping Hands need documents for? 

Well, I’m a systems girl. We have systems and procedures for everything. We’re very old school here – I like pencil and paper. We have documents for client guidance and scheduling. Everything is paper-driven, apart from the invoicing.

What’s the biggest challenge with all those documents?

I don’t have any problems with my documents! We have good systems for storing them. I’m just glancing at the Konica Minolta [photocopier] in the corner, which is critical to our survival here.

Is one reason you don’t have any problems because you chose Evolve Document Solutions?!

Yes, absolutely. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I can pick up the phone, and they’re always lovely. If there’s a problem, they’ll have an engineer out within half an hour. They’re first-class.

Why did you choose Evolve?

I’ll tell you why I use Evolve Document Solutions. I use them because it’s owned and run by Daniel Maddox. If Daniel Maddox owned a dress shop, I’d buy my dresses from him because I trust him. I like him, he’s knowledgeable, he cares about his customers, he cares about his staff, and that’s genuine.

So I buy my photocopiers and everything else I need from him because it’s Daniel. Whatever he’s behind, I trust 100% to deliver.

That’s why I have this photocopier. But, as I say, if Daniel started selling pandas*, I’d have an office full of pandas. It’s just Daniel, and I trust him. I love the guy. He’s a genuine person, and that’s why I buy from him.

*No pandas were harmed during the recording of this interview. 🐼
