Direct Cleaning Yorkshire Ltd operates from a 2,000 square feet, purpose-built unit in Milnsbridge, employs 16 full-time members of staff (all of whom live in the Kirklees & Calderdale area) and has 10 brand new vehicles on the road. A far cry from the days when I operated as a carpet cleaner from the basement of my home in Cowlersley.
As a Sole Trader I started cleaning carpets in 2000. By the middle of 2001, I purchased my first brand new van and was approached by David Wilson Homes to quote for the general cleaning of their show homes. I took on five show home cleans which prompted me to look into different areas of cleaning such as builder’s cleans and window cleaning. After approaching several different house builders I found my services to be in great demand and secured contracts with various companies.
After my marriage in 2001, my wife took on the role as a part-time book-keeper before working full-time in the office and helping on-site as necessary. We then became a partnership and realised it was time to employ another person for cleaning duties. This was a huge step for us because it meant finding another person’s wage at the same time as training them to meet the standards we required.
