Its true! Our cleaners are regularly sent to Coventry! But not in a bad way - we're now available to provide commercial cleaners in Coventry (the actual city!).
Some interesting facts about Coventry:
The first ever English bicycle was built in Coventry - way back in 1870 - about the time cleaning really took off (maybe it was easier for cleaners to set up in business without having to buy a horse and cart?!)
On the 14th June 1940 Coventry's Cathedral (also known as St Michaels Cathedral) was destroyed by enemy bombing. It was the only English city to lose a cathedral during the Second World War. It was never rebuilt, just cleaned up and a new Cathedral was added to the bombed shell.
You might not realise but Coventry is the ninth largest city in England, and eleventh largest in Britain.
The city lies further from the coast than any other British city.
Coventry is twinned with 28 cities around the world. The first city it twinned with was Stalingrad during World War 2.
Coventry is older than Birmingham and Leicester. Locals started moving in to likely clean up the area during the Bronze Age.
The city was one of the first in the world to have a pedestranised shopping area back in the sixties
The term being "sent to Coventry" means "to be ostracised" and likely comes from the English Civil War when Royalist prisoners were held in the city and were not spoken to for the whole duration of their captivity.
The Cathedral's spire is said to be the 3rd highest in the UK, due to its design it managed to survive the bombing during 1940.
As you can see Coventry has much to offer visitors especially from an historic viewpoint! If you know anyone that needs cleaning services in Coventry or across Warwickshire then feel free to point them here.
