By Anthony Hildebrand
Reliance Facilities Management has launched SecureClean, a new solution for shopping centres integrating the management of security and cleaning services.
Reliance says SecureClean ?meets retail landlords? need to reduce costs whilst maintaining a focus on increased security threats?.
The results of the 2008 Reliance Shopping Centre survey, demonstrated the changing demands and pressures on retail landlords, the company says. It says SecureClean enables shopping centre owners and managers to reduce service costs and efficiently manage large scale assets.
A launch statement said: ?Integrating the management of services reduces costs, creates operational efficiencies and increases productivity. SecureClean combines the delivery of security and cleaning to shopping centres, providing a dedicated service manager across both service streams.
?This one dedicated service manager presents shopping centre managers? with one single point of contact for all security and cleaning operations, reducing service costs and driving quality through integrated management.?
Reliance says that all cleaning personnel will receive basic security awareness training and familiarisation with anti-terrorism initiatives such as Project Argus, as well as customer service training.
Along with Reliance?s security training and Security Industry Authority (SIA) licensing, security personnel will also attend on-going ?excellence in customer service? courses. This one team approach leverages manpower to protect shopping centre interests, improve the environment and enhance the customer experience.
Paul Crilly, Reliance Facilities Management deputy chairman, said: ?We have developed the SecureClean approach in response to shopping centres? evolving requirements. SecureClean is a solution that allows shopping centre owners and managers to achieve significant financial and operational efficiencies through a managed approach to integrated services.?

EBay arms smugglers jailed
The three breached British arms embargoes by arranging deals to export to the Middle East nation after importing a host of military parts to the UK via the bidding website.
Their complex plot involved an attempt to supply Iran with equipment for F-14 Tomcat fighter jets, similar to those which featured in the Hollywood blockbuster starring Tom Cruise, Southwark Crown Court heard.
Mohsen Akhavan Nik and his son Mohammad Akhavan Nik, who were granted political asylum in the UK having apparently fled from Iran in 1995, together with Nithish Jaitha, were caught after HM Revenue and Customs officers stopped a consignment of oxygen cylinders at Heathrow Airport which were bound for Tehran.
Mohsen Nik, 49, and Mohammad Nik, 26, of Ascot, Berkshire, were jailed for five years and two and a half years respectively while Jaitha, 43, of Chalgrove, Oxford, was sentenced to two and a half years for the conspiracy to export controlled goods.
Iran's ageing jet fighters, including the F-14 Tomcat, F4 Phantoms, F5 Tigers and Cobra Attack helicopters, can only be kept in service through parts purchased in the United States and then illegally shipped to Iran using fraudulent paperwork.
The items were sourced on eBay in the US and shipped to an address in Florida to avoid the need for an export licence.

Baby formula a costly commodity for families and a hot item for thieves
TORONTO ? It's not just parents of hungry infants that are seeking out baby formula - the product has become a hot commodity for thieves on both sides of the border.
Police recently arrested 21 suspects and dismantled a theft ring in Florida allegedly responsible for stealing thousands of cans of the powdered product.
In another case, one trucker was sentenced to jail and another to probation this week for their roles in stealing US$200,000 in baby formula and other products from a Pennsylvania warehouse. The items were sold on the black market.
And in Toronto, a 19-year-old man was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and theft, accused of stabbing a security guard who tried to stop him from leaving a department store with stolen formula.
The cost for baby formula is fairly steep. At a downtown Toronto drugstore, a 680-gram tin of powdered formula containing omega-3s was around $31. For parents without a lot of extra cash to spare, the pricetag can prove to be a barrier.
