Self Employed Contract Cleaner

Caterkleen Deep Clean Services Ltd
Willow Cottage, CW5 8HJ
1999.09 - 2017.03

In 1999 after a small inheritance I embarked on being self employed contract cleaning. I built the business and the business continues. However with the hospitality industry in depression with customers going under I decided the time was right to go back to farming.

The nature of the work meant that I was accustomed to long hours and dirty work. Industrial kitchens requiring contract cleaning are notoriously grim. I was renowned for pride in the quality of my work and professional finish ensuring that all jobs were completed to an exacting standard. I worked within the constraints imposed by HSE.

I often led a number of people on bigger jobs and so can organising a team in addition to working independently.
