About Us

Our Story

I’m proud to say that 2024 sees us celebrate 50 years in business.

It started in the 70’s. My dad, Tom M Marriott had a growing business in the motor trade, auctioneering around the country and acquiring a range of garages and dealerships. In 1974 he bought out a business and car showroom called Heath & Wiltshire Ltd. Dad liked the name and from here he continued to build it. Some years later he had the idea to set up a cleaning business, he felt it offered a market that is an essential service to all areas of commerce, and so, in 1999 the cleaning side of the company was established.

Ten years on, having finished my degree, I began work as an account manager on the cleaning side of the business, overseeing the South Coast then moving to London. Since then, we have worked to build and grow the company. Dad and I have a special working relationship and continue to support each other as we continue to grow. I believe our strong work ethic and deep respect are part of our success and we are proud of the family values HW retains to this day. More recently our two wives; Carolyn and Jan have also become part of the family business and now have key roles within the organisation.

As the years have gone on, we have steadily grown a fantastic office and management team around us, some of them working for HW longer than I have! We are very lucky to have such dedicated team of professionals and we acknowledge that the company could not run without them. Again, a strong work ethic and deep respect link all members of the HW family.

My role focuses on both the business and its people, and a key part is developing People Plans that support the business strategy.
