TONY CLEARY, SENIOR STRUCTURAL SUPERVISOR, RINGWAY JACOBS - MAIN CONTRACTOR FOR TRANSPORT FOR LONDON
Tough problems need a heavyweight approach. At RHINOCEROS, we specialise in delivering practical solutions for the people who look after our built environment. Cleaning, protection and maintenance. From the messy and mundane to major infrastructure projects.
We've built our reputation on graffiti removal and innovative anti-flyposting treatments for city streets. Today, you're just as likely to find RHINOCEROS at the docks, in subways and on motorway construction sites - providing heavyweight solutions for all sorts of tough problems. From blast cleaning to anti-corrosion paint, the expertise we've developed on the street has huge impact elsewhere.
But cleaning messy and dirty city centres is just as important as it was when we started out in 1991 as Clean Streets. So, when the London 2012 Bid team needed to impress the Olympic International Committee, they asked us to focus our considerable experience and resources on a major clean-up.
That's about as glamorous as it gets in our business. For a lot of the time, we're getting stuck into the things most folk would rather not think about - like removing bird droppings from buildings, clearing blocked drains, replacing broken paving slabs, changing streetlight bulbs... But because we're in the business of getting our hands dirty every single day, we're experts at taking the hassle out of city and town centre management - getting the job done with the minimum of fuss.
