Spotless is an Australian-owned, managed and operated integrated services company providing cleaning, catering, laundry services, facilities management and non-core business support to Australia and New Zealand markets. The company employs more than 47,000 people and provides services to private and public sector clients within health; education; leisure, sports and entertainment; defence; government; business and industry; resources; utilities; and laundries.〔 In August 2012, Spotless was acquired by Australia’s largest and most active private equity player, (Pacific Equity Partners (PEP) ). The firm sold off Spotless’ international operations, delisted the company from the Australian and New Zealand stock exchanges and commenced operating as a private entity. Under the new ownership, Bruce Dixon was appointed as CEO and the business restructured. This involved tailoring the organisations services to market sectors ensuring clients could have one Spotless management contact. Dixon’s new direction for Spotless also included open communication and pushing decision making and responsibility down into the business. As a result, no industrial relations disputes have taken place since PEP’s takeover with the new approach empowering employees across the business’ entire operations. Spotless Group could be returning to the stock exchange as early as 2014 in an initial public offering worth $1.5 billion to $2 billion.〔http://www.afr.com/p/business/sunday/spotless_ipo_slated_for_eiDawkoMnxMEHkNTEdIUGM〕 It would be a remarkably quick turnaround for private equity owners Pacific Equity Partners, who took the company private for $723 million in August last year. Sources close to the company said earnings improved substantially over the past year.〔http://www.afr.com/p/business/sunday/quick_turnaround_for_pep_as_it_considers_u5MshjAtoHRJUEuk5lcuxL〕 ==Partnerships== On September 2, 2013, the local organising committee of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, which will be hosted by New Zealand and Australia, appointed a joint venture of Nine Live and Spotless Group to provide hospitality services for the tournament.〔(ICC Media Release ), September 2, 2013〕 The services include sales, marketing and event management of the tournament’s hospitality program. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spotless」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
