Creating a positive impact
On our colleagues, clients and communities through our specialist services
Churchill Group welcomes Principle into its group of specialist businesses
Churchill Group today announced that Principle, one of London’s most established specialist commercial cleaning providers is joining its group of specialist businesses and merging with Portfolio.
With more than 37 years of experience and a strong reputation for quality across London’s landmark buildings, Principle will continue to operate under its well‑recognised brand as part of Churchill’s group of specialist businesses.
The Principle and Portfolio brands merging bring together two culturally aligned, employee‑owned organisations that share a belief in empowering teams, building long‑term client partnerships and delivering positive social impact through responsible business practices. Principle’s decision to join Churchill was strongly influenced by the group’s employee‑owned structure and people‑first culture, ensuring colleagues remain at the heart of the business.
As Churchill strengthens and simplifies its specialist cleaning capability in London, its Portfolio cleaning brand will transition into Principle over the coming months. This integration brings together the strengths of both organisations to create a single, unified specialist cleaning offer for clients.

Experience the difference
We’re built on diversity, celebrating difference in every way. Diversity in talent, diversity in our backgrounds, and diversity of thought.
We think it’s brilliant that we’re all different and use those differences to make us better.
We are human, conscious and engaged
A fairer deal for employees – through our culture of engagement and empowerment, our colleagues share in our overall goals resulting in shared reward. This creates sense of fairness and well-being at work, as well as supports with the recruitment and retention of talent.
Better productivity powered by engaged employees – Employee ownership engenders enthusiasm, purpose, and commitment. We know our colleagues will go further in their contribution as they think and act as owners. There is much evidence of this when bringing team members together to innovate and share ideas.
Successful succession and regional resilience – strengthening our local approach is something that is important to us as we grow. Evidence shows that employee-ownership has a highly positive effect on local economies as it means businesses like us continue to focus on the communities we work in rather than being swallowed up by a larger competitor losing the regional presence.
Additionally, as part of our long-term ESG commitments we look for talent in the areas local to where we work, contributing to the local economy and local business ecosystem.
