With this agreement, Bidvest Noonan now provides cleaning services across both Cardiff University’s North and South campuses, effectively covering almost the entire estate. Through this expansion, Bidvest Noonan has strengthened its presence, further cementing its position as a trusted partner to the higher education sector.
