Derrycourt Wins Two Golden Service Awards for Data Centre Excellence and Sustainability Leadership
Widely regarded as one of the most respected benchmarks within the cleaning and facilities management sector, the Golden Service Awards recognise excellence across the UK and Ireland, with independent judging led by the British Institute of Cleaning Science. For over three decades, the awards have set a standard for operational performance, innovation and leadership within the industry, with winners selected through a rigorous process that includes detailed submissions and on-site assessments.
Recognition at the Golden Service Awards on Thursday 21 May reflected performance delivered across both complex environments and long-term organisational priorities, with Derrycourt Cleaning Specialists receiving two awards on the night.
Office Areas over 30,000 square metres Category
Awarded in the category Office Areas over 30,000 square metres, sponsored by Facilities Management Journal, the win reflects delivery within a global data centre environment in Ireland. A high-dependency setting, where precision, control and continuity are essential to maintaining performance standards.
Judges pointed to a culture where people are central to how the site operates, with that focus reflected in both team engagement and service delivery:
Derrycourt Cleaning Specialists truly places its employees at the heart of the business. It’s clear how much they care for everyone, and this dedication is reflected in their team’s commitment and the effort they put into maintaining the Global Data Centre. The cleaning standards here are excellent and exceptionally well managed
In environments where reliability cannot be compromised, this level of consistency is built through structured processes, strong site leadership and teams who understand the role they play in supporting critical infrastructure.
Sustainability Leadership Award
Alongside operational delivery, Derrycourt was recognised with the Sustainability Leadership Award, sponsored by B-Sure Installations and B-Sure Recycling, acknowledging a broader organisational approach to sustainability.
Rather than focusing on individual initiatives, the award reflects a long-term journey shaped by continuous review and improvement. Judges highlighted both the depth of understanding and the commitment demonstrated across the business:
This category was a hard one to judge, but Derrycourt Cleaning Specialists truly demonstrates understanding, commitment and a journey of complete self-critiqued development on their road to helping their business, community and the industry become sustainable in every sense of the word. This has sustainability next to the heart of its operations. Derrycourt is truly deserving to be recognised as sustainability leaders within an ever growing ever more sustainable industry.
This recognition reflects an approach where sustainability is embedded into decision-making and operational practice, influencing how services are delivered and how the business continues to evolve.
Together, both awards point to the same principle underpinning performance. Engaged teams, disciplined systems and a clear willingness to assess and improve. From critical operational environments to organisational strategy, outcomes are shaped by how consistently these standards are applied.
Recognition at this level reflects that consistency in action, delivered every day across each site.
