Hugh Crane (Cleaning Equipment) Ltd is a family firm and was formed in 1983 to satisfy a demand for high quality industrial cleaning equipment. The business has continued to expand and the Peterborough branch at Whittlesey was added in early 2000 to satisfy the requests of our clients in the west of the region. During the last few years there has been significant investment within the company at both locations.

The company also manufactures the COMMANDO range of cleaning equipment, which has been designed to meet the needs of the professional sector of the market. New products include Cask Force and Rotawash.

The company is also engaged in the design, manufacture, installation and servicing of industrial cleaning systems together with the distribution of a wide range of chemicals and janitorial equipment for the industrial, commercial and domestic markets across East Anglia and the surrounding region

The company aims to provide the highest quality of service in the industry. This has resulted in achieving two British standards, ISO9001:2015 Quality Standard and more recently ISO14001:2015 Environmental Standard.
