Speaking of their national and regional business awards success Pat Ryan said “I am extremely proud of the team at Ryans Cleaning and these awards are a reflection of everyone’s efforts. Cristina does a great job at Bord Gáis Energy Theatre however, as any good supervisor would tell you, it’s all about the team and we are very lucky to have a great core staff at Ryans Cleaning in Thurles who help us to fulfil our national and international events and regular cleaning contracts to the highest possible standards week in, week out.”
