Vivo Clean is now a Suffolk New College Industry Partner

Team Vivo has some big news to share; something we’ve been sitting on for a couple of months now.

We are incredibly proud to announce that Vivo Clean is now an Industry Partner of Suffolk New College. It feels great to be able to provide a service to a school that is so important to Suffolk and the local community, especially when our own founder, George Pennell, attended it as a college student, and then again as a mature student.

This industry partnership means George will be brought in to speak to business students about entrepreneurship, and Vivo Clean will prioritise the college’s students when apprenticeships become available. In turn, the college will bring us more opportunities, and we can help shape and inform their curriculum relevant to our industry. It’s a fantastic partnership, and we’re eager to get stuck in.

Vivo Clean founder and director, George, says:

“Being recognised as an Industry Partner of Suffolk New College is a real privilege for Vivo Clean. The college played an important role in my personal journey, and I’m proud to return as Managing Director of Vivo Clean to support and inspire the next generation. We’re passionate about sharing industry experience, encouraging future talent, and helping young people explore future opportunities - especially those aspiring to start their own businesses. We’re excited to build this partnership and help shape the future.”

Lee Mandley, the Director of Service Industries and Science at Suffolk New College, says:

“George has gone on to great things as an entrepreneur who has a long association with the college - and I think his story and success are a powerful reminder of the value that Suffolk New College can have for people who study with us.”

Kayleigh Norris, the Head of Careers and Employer Engagement at Suffolk New College, says:

“George spent a long time here as a sports student, came back as a mature student to do a maths GCSE and now his business has recently cleaned the windows of the college. His attachment to the college runs deep, and we are delighted that he has become an Industry Partner. He is a tremendous role model for our students, and we are delighted that his relationship with us continues via our innovative industry partnership programme.”

The team here at Vivo Clean can’t wait to see what this exciting new partnership will bring.
