Edwards Commercial Cleaning is proud to announce it has been awarded The Sustainability Award (SME) at the recent NEAA 2026 Awards.
Sponsored by Nissan, the award recognises the company’s ongoing commitment to operating responsibly and reducing its environmental impact. This includes the careful selection of cleaning products, efficient working practices and continued investment in systems that support more sustainable service delivery.
Sustainability is embedded into day-to-day operations, shaping both how services are delivered and how the business continues to evolve.
The achievement also reflects the people behind the business. The team’s consistency, attention to detail and high standards all played a key role in securing the award.
As part of the recognition, Edwards Commercial Cleaning received £1,000 to support STEM initiatives at a school of its choosing. The company has chosen Newcastle High School for Girls. This is a school Edwards works closely with and one that also holds a personal connection, with Director Paul Edwards’ daughter having previously attended.
Supporting the next generation is something Edwards is passionate about. The business regularly works with schools and colleges, offering opportunities for students to gain career insights, build confidence and better understand the world of work.
Paul commented:
‘We’re incredibly proud to receive this award. Sustainability is something we take seriously as a business, and this recognition is a reflection of the effort our team puts in every day.
Alongside that, giving back is something that really matters to us. I’m particularly passionate about supporting young people as they take their first steps into the world of work, whether that’s through engaging with schools, sharing experiences or helping build confidence.
Being able to support STEM education at Newcastle High School for Girls through this award makes it even more special.’
This latest recognition marks another milestone for the company as it continues to grow across the North East and Yorkshire, supporting world-class businesses across office, industrial, educational and healthcare environments.
