A former pupil from a local school has returned 17 years later to secure a business contract.
Alex Clay owns local facilities company Clay & Co. Facilities Group Ltd and has secured a contract with his former school, Selwood Academy, to offer cleaning and caretaking services.
Alex, who was a pupil at Selwood Academy from 2004 to 2007, said, “My time at
Selwood was interesting to say the least, as I would say I was quite a challenging student from time to time and never thought school was for me.
“Despite this, Selwood never gave up on me, I was supported and encouraged to do the best I could and was given opportunities to thrive in something that I really enjoyed, such as design, technology and art.
“Fast forward 17 years and I now am the proud owner and director of Clay & Co. Facilities Group Ltd. I, along with my partner Kay and an amazing team of individuals, supply cleaning and caretaking for schools and businesses in and around Somerset and Wiltshire.
“We would like to take the opportunity to thank Selwood for entrusting in us and our service. The working relationship with the whole school community and business team has been a pleasure and we hope for a long working partnership to continue.”
