Discover how the Life-Giving Excellence Model can transform your SME. Dive into Q Branch's approach to blending excellence with positive impact for people and the planet.
Ever been to one of those business talks and thought, "Oh no, not another charity spiel"? That's exactly where I was, sitting in a Derby networking event, ready to tune out. But then, Michael Gladwell from Upbeat Clean took the stage and totally flipped the script.
He wasn't just talking about cleaning; he was talking about changing lives with his business.
He introduced their 'Life-Giving, Excellence' Model and it really clicked for Jenny and me. We knew we had to bring this awesome vibe into Q Branch.

Breaking Down the Life-Giving Excellence Model
Alright, let's dive into what this Life-Giving Excellence Model is all about.
Imagine this: every piece of work we do has got to tick two big boxes. First up, we've got to absolutely nail it – we're talking top-notch, no one does it better kind of stuff. And second, it's got to be the kind of work that gets us pumped, helps out our clients in big ways, and is kind to people and the planet. That's the heart of it. Doing work that rocks and makes the world a better place, all at the same time.
In a Nutshell:
We gotta be the best at what we do. If we're not rocking our clients' worlds and making a big splash in their businesses, we're not doing it.
It's gotta feel good. We're talking about the kind of work that pumps us up, helps our clients and their folks, and doesn't mess with Mother Earth.
Why This Matters to Us
Putting the Life-Giving Excellence Model into action isn't just a nice idea – it's crucial for us. It's about showing up every day and knowing we're doing work that matters.
It helps us attract clients and team members who share our values. And it keeps us all motivated, knowing we're not just working for a paycheck but making a real difference in the world.
For Q Branch, it's about setting a new standard. We're not just here to do business; we're here to make life better for everyone we touch. That's why we weave these principles into everything we do, from the big projects to the everyday tasks. It's what sets us apart and drives us forward.
Operationalizing the Model in Everyday Practices
Climate-Positive Contributions
A cornerstone of our commitment to life-giving principles is our climate-positive approach. Every project at Q Branch is evaluated for its environmental impact, ensuring that we contribute more to the planet than we take. Through partnerships with global reforestation projects, we offset our carbon footprint by at least 110%, planting trees and supporting ecosystems around the world, ensuring we are giving-life, never taking it.
