Before getting into window cleaning, back in 2001, i worked in a Grocery warehouse in 1998, putting up orders & loading lorries for next day delivery. I was paid a pretty decent wage, but the hours were not so hot. After a few years traveling & seeing the world, i thought id try window cleaning. Since then ive never looked back, i really do love the job & working for myself. What did you fellas work at before ?

I started out trying engineering which i did not like and moved on to exhaust and tyre fitting which lasted 6 months was not for me.
Worked with the local council for a year or so and enjoyed that job working outside.
Started working with a local window cleaning company for a couple of year then bought some work from them and have never looked back.

Hi Guys,

Prior to my current role I worked in travel - used to enjoy the cheap holidays but not the travelling or working weekends, Bank Holidays Christmas etc !!

Used to average about 12-13 hour days so once children came along decided it was time for a change.

hi, i left school at 16 and started my own business up then, so before window cleaning i was at school, but i am also in the fire service which i joined when i was 18, being retained at a local fire station, but i found it was stopping me progressing and building my business further, so i am now flexi duty and am on duty of the weekend and also involved with a schools project. Iam very busy with everything but i like to keep busy!
