Totally Local Company

How did you first hear about Thornton & Lowe?

We found Thornton & Lowe through an online search and once we made contact, an initial kickoff meeting was arranged with the Directors. Initially we worked on two civil engineering-related bids before moving into FM. We noticed an immediate improvement in our tender submissions, having success on smaller projects. In 2019/20 we moved onto Thornton & Lowe’s Bid Success Programme and since seen our success rates grow further.

What were you looking for in a solution?

We were looking for a partner who can support us across our very varied business. We don’t just focus on one area - you’ll see Totally Local Company everywhere in Stockport and further afield; from school kitchens to parks, playgrounds and even up trees!

We fix roads and clean, light and provide signs for the streets. We empty bins and help to keep the area secure. We clean schools and office spaces (and more), tidy grounds and dispose of waste too. Some of our services are predominantly in the public sector and some private, so we needed someone who could understand and support our complex business.
