How do I maintain my Brick Cleaning Accreditation?

It is a condition of maintaining accreditation that an accredited brick cleaner must:

2. notify us if and when he or she leaves the employment of, or sells, the relevant brick cleaning business listed on our website and, assuming that he or she continues to work as a brick cleaner, provide us with the details of his or her new employer or brick cleaning business (as the case may be) and his or her new contact details.
