Strand Group, that’s facilities management company Strand Facilities Services, secure document management company Storall and contract cleaning brand Krypton, has acquired long-established family business Magee’s Haulage incorporating Clean-A-Way IOM Ltd.   Strand Group will operate the business under the Clean-A-Way name.   Working locally for over 30 years in commercial refuse collection, Clean-A-Way is a good fit with the other businesses under the Strand umbrella.

The deal went through on April 1st and all the existing staff have been retained.  The business has a loyal and long-serving team, which is also in keeping with Strand Group’s ethos, where long-service awards frequently hit the 15 and 20 years mark.  Whilst the take over has been hectic for both teams, it’s been a seamless operation as far as customers have been concerned with existing contracts being handled by the same people and with the same vehicles.  New business contracts are already being negotiated.

“When the opportunity to acquire this well established business came along earlier in the year, it quickly became clear that it was a natural fit with the other services we offer,” said John Hellowell, Chairman of Strand Group. “We’re very happy to welcome the Clean-A-Way team into the Strand family”, he added.

Clean-A-Way currently handles commercial waste collection throughout the Island, on a daily, weekly or as required basis.  Vehicles are fitted with Government calibrated onboard weighing systems.

Previously based in Baldrine Clean-A-Way will now operate from Strand Group’s premises at Spring Valley Industrial Estate and will join the Group at its new corporate HQ in September.  The new premises are currently under construction at Tromode Estate’s new Gateway Development.
