We want to congratulate V&A Dundee; they celebrate their 5th Anniversary this month. Yes, it’s hard to believe that the magnificent Design Museum has been open for five years. V&A Dundee quickly established itself as one of Scotland’s favourite visitor attractions and remains so today. In the last five years, it has welcomed over 1.7 million visitors, hosted eight major exhibitions, 23 free exhibitions and over 400 public events. 

A recently published independent Impact Report makes impressive reading and reveals the following: “V&A Dundee is drawing people to the region and contributing to local investment. The numbers are powerful: the museum has generated over £300m to the Scottish economy, including over £100m in Dundee; attracted over 1.7 million visits to the museum, including 500,000 people who made their first visit to Dundee as part of trips to V&A Dundee. In the period between April 2023 and September 2023, the museum made a gross employment contribution to Dundee of 450 jobs and to Scotland of 1685 jobs, not just the people who work in the museum but the wider network involved across the creative economy.”

V&A Dundee is currently showcasing the ‘must-see’ Tartan exhibit, which has drawn visitors from across the globe to celebrate the instantly recognisable symbol of Scotland and best-known textiles in the world.

Spectrum Service Solutions is proud to have worked with V&A Dundee since it opened in September 2018, and we were excited to announce back in April that we’d won a long-term extension to the initial contract in Dundee. Our team have the pleasure of delivering cleaning services, including daily cleaning in the office and associated areas, break out areas, the canteen, showers and locker rooms, sanitary and washroom facilities, provision of consumables, window cleaning, provision of day-time janitorial services, as well as a quarterly deep clean.

Spectrum’s Operations Director, Rebecca Bell, said about V&A Dundee’s milestone anniversary: “Congratulations to all of the team at V&A Dundee on celebrating five years in the city. At Spectrum, we love this contract because of the variety of events hosted on an ongoing basis. V&A Dundee has established itself as a major venue for design, culture and education, and we are proud to work with them. The V&A team work very hard all year round, so we hope they find time to celebrate this important milestone.”
