Dominic Ponniah, Group CEO

Cleanology

"Futures Supplies is one of our most important partners. I say partners and not suppliers because we work together to achieve a common goal, of keeping our mutual clients happy.

They are always proactively looking to help our business and support us with new products and innovation.

They always go out of their way to help whenever needed – for example, if we need help with an emergency order, they willingly oblige.

Like our business, their people are key and they have a great team. We love their family ethics and that we can talk directly with the business principals, who still have the passion and drive to deliver the service they originally set out to deliver on Day 1 of starting out.

Deciding to work with Futures Supplies is one of the best business decisions I have made."

“Futures really lead the field in their thorough adoption of CSR and green issues, they are an inspiration to us all. This extends beyond being part of all their own in house activities, as can be illustrated by their support of Principle Cleaning and our client Walt Disney in their recent support of World Earth Day. We can always count on Mandie and her team, and it is at no cost to the consistently high quality of service they provide. ”

Envibe (Environmental Business Excellence, Croydon)

“Envibe started working with Futures Supplies in 2004 and right from the start they were keen to push forward on taking their environmental responsibilities seriously. They are now a leader in this field and an inspiration to businesses and individuals that it is not enough to do a bit of recycling here or switching a light of there! They now impressively cover all areas of the environmental spectrum and continue to strive to do more. This now extends to their influence over their customers and suppliers on environmental performance. Their continued motivation and enthusiasm never ceases. When we have a low day at Envibe and wonder why some businesses struggle to rise to the challenge of climate change, our hearts are renewed when we hear about the latest initiative from Futures or the continually creative vision of the staff team led by Mandie. Many businesses have come to get help from Envibe with their own activities as a result of the example and direction given by Futures. I have no doubt their determination to do business in a planet-considerate fashion will never cease to have a positive effect within and beyond the company. ”

Matthew Sims, General Manager

Futures are leading the way in environmental support and I am proud to have them as members of the Croydon Chamber of Commerce.”

London Remade

“Futures and London Remade have been working together since October 2004 when Futures signed to the Mayor's Green Procurement Code. The Code was launched in 2001 to assist businesses in London to reduce waste, implement recycling schemes and look at closing the loop through recycled content purchasing. Each year Futures have contributed to the Mayor's Green Procurement Code Purchase Report which is a way for businesses to feed back their improvements and commitment to recycled product purchasing and measure their improvements each year. Futures have not only had a marked improvement over the last two years but have reduced waste, print on recycled paper only and recycle everything they can to reduce waste going to landfill. London Remade and Futures have also completed a case study to report on this good practice.”

Anna Eltringham, Envibe Co-coordinator

Croydon Council

“Futures have a real dedication to helping the environment and have proved to be exceptional in its recycling strategy and management systems. The Envibe Board were impressed that such a small company has dedicated valuable time and resources which is why it was one of the first two companies in the borough to have been awarded the prestigious Gold Envibe Award in addition to its Bronze and Silver awards.”

Chris Thompson, Social Worker

Leaving Care, Croydon Council

“Futures has worked with have been involved with Futures since they engaged with our Employability Scheme for young people leaving Care. Care Leavers historically can start adult life with many disadvantages. They can frequently come from very difficult family backgrounds, they may be disadvantaged educationally, and they may have precarious housing situations. Each young person is different and their needs will vary, but it is true to say that there are common themes that permeate the lives of teenagers leaving the care system.

Futures have worked with our service’s young people and they have achieved results and made a positive difference to their lives that exceeded all expectations and hopes.

By providing our young people with a safe environment to develop professionally and learn new skills Futures helped them gain confidence and garner experience that will prove invaluable as they enter the word of employment.

The staff are welcoming and friendly and provided clear and consistent boundaries. Keeping their expectations high means that the young people have a sense of aspiration as well as the enjoyment of feeling included as part of a dynamic and diverse team.

Futures value diversity and focus on people’s strengths. They don’t give up on young people and the young people with whom they work have told me how grateful they are to have been given this opportunity. That teenagers can see the merit of this important experience is testament to Futures’ commitment to ensuring that excluded and disadvantaged young people are given a supported transition into working life.”
