Husband and wife team Adam and Andrea own the Cleanhome business in St Albans.\u00a0 They have been extremely successful within their 1st<\/sup> year of trading, reaching a whopping \u00a373,000 turnover – of which over \u00a365,000 is pure profit.<\/p>\n

Starting the business in October 2020 during the pandemic, Adam and Andrea have worked hard and their business has gone from strength to strength.<\/p>\n

Adam spent 35 years of his career in sales management and explained, \u201cI have always been employed in the corporate world, and I<\/span> often felt frustrated by organisational hierarchy, at times being managed by people less skilled than myself, I quite often thought about running my own business.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andrea also has a corporate background, but decided to go it alone and has been self-employed for over 19 years.\u00a0 Andrea comments \u201cWe both felt our work\/life balance was poor we wanted to address this by finding something we could do together, enjoy together and reap the rewards together.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple explained it was a scary decision for them both to be self-employed but they were determined to be successful, and the business has grown quicker than even they anticipated.\u00a0 They have worked hard but they knew that putting the effort in at the beginning of their journey would allow them to reap the rewards later on.<\/p>\n

Adam remarks \u201cThe change to our life has been massively positive.\u00a0 I\u2019m now my own boss and I don\u2019t answer to anyone, I enjoy being the ultimate decision maker in my own life.\u201d\u00a0 Andrea added \u201cI can\u2019t stress how absolutely brilliant the decision to sign with Cleanhome was.\u201d<\/p>\n

Karen Kelly, founder of Cleanhome summarised by saying, \u201cI am over the moon for Cleanhome St Albans.\u00a0 From the moment I met them I knew they\u2019d be successful, it was the quickest business set-up I\u2019ve completed, and that\u2019s because both Adam and Andrea couldn\u2019t wait to get started.\u201d\u00a0 Karen added \u201cI\u2019m very proud of their achievement to date, and can\u2019t wait to see where they eventually take the business \u2013 the sky\u2019s their limit.\u201d<\/p>\n
