In the year of 2008, I began my professional journey as a window cleaner in the areas of Newark and Nottingham, operating under the business name of Windowmow. Despite the fact that I did not have a website or any signage on my vehicle, I was able to establish myself as a reputable service provider in the industry, which was no small feat.

It was during this time that, along with my business partner Jo, I purchased a window cleaning round from a gentleman named Roy, which allowed us to become business owners at the young age of 18. This was a significant milestone for us, as we were the youngest business owners in Newark at the time, according to HSBC.

Although we initially provided traditional window cleaning services, we did consider expanding our services to include gutter or bin cleaning. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to sell the business to Jo and move to Chippenham, where I found myself first partnering up with Chris of Wiltshire Maintenance, and then later splitting off into my own company.

Despite the challenges I faced, I am proud of the work I accomplished during my time in Newark as a window cleaner and the valuable experience I gained with Chris of Wiltshire Maintenance. Looking back, I realize that my journey as a window cleaner was not just about cleaning windows, but about learning the ins and outs of running a business, building a reputation, and overcoming obstacles.
