We have made many improvements over the previous year, most of these to do with improved management systems and training of staff which have led to huge improvements in the service we provide.
We come from a background of providing cleaning, but as we have grown we have needed management expertise to show us how to run a larger domestic cleaning agency service.
We would like to thank Mr John Freeman of http://www.familiesinbusiness.co.uk. His advice and assistance have led to many lovely comments from customers and staff as they see the great things he is introducing.
