Our Story
Excellent Classic Maintenance Cleaning Services boasts yet another outstanding year. The business started from humble beginnings twenty years ago, where the two founding members started with a vision and faith that if they put their heads down and got to work it would one day pay off. In doing so they gained years of experience working in the hospitality industry at star class hotels, which has helped them achieve a standard of service that is unsurpassed. Starting out with only a handful of small contracts in retail, commercial and domestic premises, employing just 25 people of which 20 were part-time employees they managed to gradually expand the business, and by undertaking diverse projects established EC in the cleaning industry.

We are a close knit family and have looked after our employees while delivering an excellent service and maintaining a well satisfied customer base. This is the very reason why we at EC were still in demand even during the recent recession period this country suffered.
In those early years conditions were not particularly comfortable. We had only a makeshift office with a telephone and a fax machine. No mobile phones were used and all office work was done on papers with no computers which make life so much easier today.
Things have changed considerably since we established EC Maintenance as a privately-owned company and expanded our business. The early years were particularly difficult. We faced strong competition from more powerful competitors and on many an occasion we were close to going out of business. The turning point came in the year 2000 when we won several big contracts such as university accommodations, star class hotels, charity organisations, hospitals, restaurants, and supermarkets in the Melbourne area. We employed more staff and invested a considerable amount of money on state of the art equipment, machinery, environmentally friendly chemicals and staff training to adhere to OH&S standards and have grown from strength to strength ever since.
In recent years we have expanded our services and strengthened our position in construction site and building clearing. These changes have resulted in added strength to our current position. While making profits we have engaged in many a philanthropic activities and are pleased to record that a sizable amount of funds have been disbursed for charitable causes. There are just a few to mention:
- Organize relief activities for Tsunami affected people living in the Southern Province of Sri Lanka where EC Maintenance being the main contributor for providing linen for more than 1000 families in the year 1994.
- Initiated an annual health campaign for senior citizens living in the Kalutara Distric of Sri Lanka with the assistance of the Lions Club of Danenong City to provide them with reading glasses and specialized medical advises.
- Helped ICRC in distributing food items for people living in the conflict affected areas of the north Central province of Sri Lanka.
I would like to thank everyone for their hard work which has resulted in bringing about this success.
