We were established in 1998 and the business has become one of the leading independent contract cleaners in the Hampshire area. We currently have over 120 cleaning contracts which are fulfilled by 180 members of staff.
Mark Tutty starts Top Mops as one man and a van with a single cleaning client in a caravan park on the Isle of Wight for a few hours a week. Noticing there was no established contract cleaners on the Island, Mark started to push Top Mops forward and 20 years later we became one of the leading independent contract cleaning companies on the South Coast.
After 10 years of trading and extensive growth Top Mops hit the milestone of employing 100 staff and 80 contracts across the Island, pushing the business into being the largest independent contract cleaning company in the Isle of Wight.
To move the business forward Mark Tutty took the decision to employed several key personnel in Director and Management positions and pushed to streamline the business in operational. Top Mops also expanded the mainland Division by gaining work in the Portsmouth, Southampton, Salisbury, Bournemouth and Poole areas and expanded to 180 members of staff across 120 contracts.
As a result of hard work and continued growth, Top Mops celebrated 20 years of business in 2018 and moved to their new Head Office. The new building has had a total refurbishment and boasts a conference room and training suite to move the business forward into the next 10 years of trading.
Top Mops, through steady growth, had taken several staff on and had 2 vehicles on the road. Expansion meant that office space was required and we moved into Spithead Business Centre, Lake (on the Isle of Wight).
Due to continue growth and recommendations we moved to the mainland and opened a small office and picked up a few clients in and around the Southampton Area.
Growth continued across the business and a targeted approach saw Top Mops develop relationships with larger organisations such as the NHS, Industrial and PLC clients. As a result, our Facility Management side of the business was developed and continued to grow at a steady pace over the next year.
We have achieved ISO 9001:2008 which means we operate a quality management system with strict quality control to ensure high standards are maintained. We also have ISO 14001 which is accreditation for being an environmentally friendly company!
Mark is the MD of Top Mops and started the company in 1998 as a “man and a mop” after he was asked by an associate if he knew anyone that could clean a caravan. At the time Mark was a Chef and an events organiser looking to diversify. It was this chance meeting that made Mark realise that there was a market on the Island for a forward thinking cleaning company, and the rest as they say is history.
Since its inception Mark has grown Top Mops considerably and it now boasts in excess of 120 contracts serviced by 200 staff making it the largest independent cleaning provider in the Isle of Wight, expanding into Hampshire.
Outside of work Mark enjoys socialising and his beloved Great Danes, Del and Rodney.
