Biohazard Cleaning and Health and Safety – a match made in heaven! with Andrew Wilkinson and Laura Dent

Businesswise: The Voice of Business Networking in Swindon

In the first of our new collaboration series, Hannah Edwards from Scott Media talks to Andrew Wilkinson of Secure Safety Solutions and Laura Dent of So Fresh and So Clean.

After sharing a little about their individual businesses, Andrew and Laura talk about how they started to collaborate after meeting at our Businesswise networking group.

Laura talks about how she first got to know Andrew and learnt more about his business and how it could support her business before considering working with him. For her, doing research first was important as she’s worked with other supplies in the past and things haven’t worked out. Now they’re collaborating and things work very well, because they get on, and also both support each other’s business.

Andrew enjoys working with Laura, because of her work ethic, and the support she receives from his business is perfect. She knows that her clients also benefit from Andrew's company’s input.

Having the biohazard cleaning is something that Laura has to ensure is safe, and Andrew, who hasn’t worked in this field previously has ensured he is up to date with all of the latest legislation. They both give examples of how the collaboration works so well, including Andrew impressing Laura with his quick responses to emails and also the fact he promptly sends information to her clients when asked.

Both Andrew and Laura give their tips about why networking works – and especially Business Wise. Here are just 3 of their tips.

• Even if you’re scared of networking – just do it!
• Don’t go along with preconceived ideas about what people expect.
• Whereas family and friends may try to help with problems, they often don’t know how to run a business – our group does.
