Paramount Services Limited, one of New Zealand’s largest locally owned commercial cleaning companies, has been named Supplier of the Year at Westpac New Zealand’s inaugural Supplier Awards 2025. The honour recognises outstanding collaboration, service excellence, and shared values between Westpac and its supplier network, marking a new milestone in Paramount’s nine-year partnership with the bank.

A Partnership Built on Trust

Since 2016, Paramount Services, has managed Westpac’s property portfolio nationwide, delivering comprehensive cleaning solutions across both retail branches and corporate offices. The partnership reflects a mutual commitment to quality, consistency, and care.

“Trust and collaboration have been the foundation of our relationship with Westpac,” said a Paramount Services spokesperson. “This award is a testament to our frontline professionals who deliver outstanding service every day and to our shared belief that great partnerships are built on respect and consistency.”

Paramount’s ability to maintain high standards across varied environments demonstrates the company’s strong systems and dedicated workforce, supported by the Westpac Property Team’s collaborative approach and people-first philosophy.

From Local Family Business to National Leader

Founded in 1979 by Suzanne and Galvin Bartlett, Paramount began as a small family-run cleaning business in central Auckland. Over 46 years, it has grown into a nationwide franchise network employing more than 250 staff and supporting 220 franchise business owners who together employ around 1,200 people across New Zealand.

Today, the company services over 5,100 clients across Auckland, Tauranga, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin. Growth has been driven by both the franchise model, launched in 1996, and strategic mergers with established cleaning companies, including Office & General, Cleanup Group, Nu-Look Cleaning Concepts, Power Cleaning, and Focus Services.

Commitment to Excellence and Sustainability

The Westpac Supplier of the Year award adds to a long list of achievements for Paramount Services. The company previously won Supreme Franchise System of the Year (2018) and Franchise System Excellence in Sustainability (2023) at the Westpac NZ Franchise Awards.

Judges at the 2024 awards described Paramount as “a forward-thinking business, delivering impressive growth,” noting that the company continues to expand “in a well-planned, deliberate manner, while ensuring they maintain strong relationships and sustain their current services.”

Innovation and sustainability remain central to Paramount’s operations. The company uses environmentally friendly cleaning products, microfibre technology to reduce chemical use, and recycling systems for paper, plastic, glass, cans, and food waste. Its Paramount Care range carries the Environmental Choice New Zealand tick of approval.

People at the Heart of Success

Paramount dedicates the Westpac Supplier of the Year award to its cleaning professionals who service Westpac sites daily. All franchisees complete the New Zealand Certificate in Cleaning (Level 2), ensuring industry-leading standards of professionalism.

The franchise model also provides opportunities for business ownership and personal growth, creating pathways to entrepreneurship for hundreds of New Zealanders.

Looking Ahead

The Supplier of the Year recognition highlights Paramount’s enduring commitment to people, partnership, and sustainable growth. As the company continues to expand its services across New Zealand, it remains focused on delivering innovation, quality, and care.

“This award isn’t just ours – it belongs to every person who wears the Paramount uniform,” said the spokesperson. “Their professionalism and commitment have helped us reach this milestone and continue to set new standards in our industry.”
