F rom green cleaning concepts to the finest training and education at all personnel levels, Suburban Companies strives to exceed cus tomer expectations. The business has grown exponentially since its first office opened in Braintree, Mass. In 1985, it established a home in Hartford, absorbing the former Janitor Services Inc.

During the recent recession, Suburban Companies has worked diligently to retain its customer base while remaining price competitive in the everchanging marketplace. Essential to this effort is a commitment to providing a better "value" to current and prospec tive clients — a concept that resonates in these tough economic times. The company has also seen more growth in associa tions with thirdparty management groups, which can lead to new client relationships, said Russ Stratton, Regional Gen eral Manager. "Creating job growth and opportunities for members of the local community is a priority for our company," he said. What does the future hold for Suburban Companies? Diversification. "Providing a broader scope of facilities outsourcing services — [and] not just being recog nized for commercial cleaning," said Stratton. "Suburban has already separated itself from the com petition through its depth of man agement, broader scope of facility outsourcing servic es, superior service delivery, and fast customer response time," said Stratton. "We will further differentiate ourselves by constantly adding to our offering. When it comes to facility services, we want to do it all."
