Former car delivery driver Giles Layton is looking forward to clocking up the miles as part of his new oven cleaning business, Ovenu Eastleigh.<\/p>\n

The 48-year-old decided on the venture after searching for a new challenge that would also provide him with a better work life balance.<\/p>\n

Giles was previously employed by a national company delivering courtesy cars to customers whose vehicles had been accident damaged. Prior to that he delivered prescriptions on behalf of a pharmacy.<\/p>\n

The grandfather-of-two, who moved to Eastleigh from South Devon after meeting wife Helen, said: \u201cI was self-employed as a younger man, installing double glazing, and wanted a fresh challenge that allowed me to take control of my life and my career.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s quite daunting to be launching a new business from scratch during a pandemic but I\u2019ve both the practical and customer service skills to make it a success.\u201d<\/p>\n

His focus is on establishing the business before growing it to a point where he can employ subcontractors and operate extra vans.<\/p>\n

Giles is accepting bookings at his discretion, with the strict stipulation that both parties observe a two-metre social distancing rule, along with guidelines on hygiene and cleanliness.<\/p>\n

The rugby fan, who spends much of his spare time with his family, added: \u201cI\u2019m prepared to put the hours in, but being my own boss means I can structure my working life around my family rather than the other way around.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rik Hellewell, founder and managing director of the Ovenu franchise, said: \u201cGiles is used to putting the client first, the only difference is that he\u2019ll be delivering a sparkling oven rather than a shiny car!\u201d<\/p>\n

As well as Eastleigh, the business also covers Chartwell Green, Bitterne Village, Midanbury, Horton Heath, Colden Common, Fair Oak, Romsey, Sherfield English, West Wellow, Mottisfont and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n

The Ovenu valeting process involves dismantling key components of an oven such as the door, interior panels, fan, and shelves and placing them into design-registered tank equipment, which uses safe, non-caustic and biodegradable products to clean the oven parts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
