What do you love most about your job?
I love hearing from satisfied clients following our cleans. I myself take pride in a clean & tidy home and it is wonderful to see us deliver high standards to cleaning to our clients and make their home life easier.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I worked in Recruitment for 13 years and ran my own business working long hours. When I planned to have a baby I knew this would be unrealistic to coincide with running a business in this sector. I am someone who 'enjoys' cleaning! And take a lot of pride in my home. I decided to sell my business and set up a domestic cleaning & housekeeping business using my passion for cleaning & my transferable skills of running a business & recruitment. Now as a mum of 3 boys I know the time and effort it takes to maintain a clean & tidy home and it gives me a great amount of satisfaction in delivering a service to eases some stress & pressure out of family life.
Why should our clients choose you?
As a mum of 3 boys I know the time and effort it takes to maintain a clean & tidy home and it gives me a great amount of satisfaction in delivering a service to eases some stress & pressure out of family life. I have high standards and an eye for detail. When recruiting I look for people who take pride in their work, who care about what our clients homes and those who use initiative. I have been professionally trained in domestic cleaning and trained to train and all members of my team have been expertly trained by myself. I manage my team closely and manage my clients accounts to ensure expectations are met from quote visit and throughout the cleaning contract.
