Driver Hire Nationwide’s Post

As we’re in the run up to Halloween, we’ve decided to do something a little different today…. We’re sharing something a little spooky about elevators – and it’s all linked to a superstition. Here’s a clue…. it’s all about triskaidekaphobia! But, before we explain, we have a question: Have you ever noticed how some buildings - and therefore elevators and lifts - seem to skip the 13th floor? Well, you’re not imagining it!....... Due to the fear and long-held superstition surrounding the number 13 – or triskaidekaphobia as it’s also known – some buildings do avoid using the number 13. Instead they opt for alternatives like 12A and some even rebrand the 13th floor as floor M, given that M is the 13th letter of the alphabet. While it’s more commonly associated with the US, it's not unheard of in the UK, especially in hotels, office buildings, and high-rises, as many developers choose to omit having 13th floors to avoid unsettling potential tenants, or guests, who might consider it to be unlucky. Although it’s not a building code requirement here in the UK, it’s a nod to customer comfort and psychology. You can find out more about this superstitious topic from the BBC here: https://lnkd.in/eg9_xDrA. So, next time, you’re in an elevator, take a peek—does it have a 13th floor? And if it doesn’t, then what’s in its place instead? Have you spotted a missing 13th floor before? If so where?

Maintaining curb appeal is just as important for commercial properties, especially if you have outdoor seating or picnic areas. These high-traffic spaces can accumulate dirt, grime, and spills over time, making them less inviting for customers and employees. A thorough power wash can make a huge difference, clearing away the buildup and instantly refreshing the look of your space. Clean walkways, seating areas, and building exteriors not only enhance the appearance but also create a safer, more welcoming environment. As we head into the cooler months, it’s the perfect time to make sure your outdoor areas are looking their best. #CommercialCurbAppeal #PowerWashing #OutdoorMaintenance #CustomerExperience #CleanAndSafe
