What drove you to found Ace Window Cleaning?

To be honest,  I have always enjoyed working in customer services! Even after 15 years, I've gone ahead and created a business solely focused on the customer experience.

Being in retail, there is a massive emphasis on appearance and cleanliness. I realized 50% of my workday consisting of cleaning (instead of selling!). I strangely found it incredibly satisfying seeing the windows and floors sparkle. I found that working for companies had their own ethos and culture towards customer service and excellence. Although I could understand the fundamentals of them, I felt that it wasn't personal to each customer experience. 

In light of this, I decided to create Ace Window Cleaning! Ace is my reflection of how every customer journey should be. Ace is a combination of my love for cleaning with my passion for customer service. 

What do you enjoy doing when you're not at work?

I love to eat, not your fine wine and dine sort of thing. More your M&M's and Netflix kinda thing. Sort of goes against my other hobby which is going to the gym and exercising. As you can imagine I have to strike a very fine balance between my eating habits and fitness regime. I like to go to the gym as often as possible, even if it's just to go swimming or chill out in the sauna. I like to make the most out of my membership. They've just got this incredible new machine in my gym and its by far my favorite...it dispenses Maltesers for less than £1.10 (inflation)!

I also really enjoy photography, in fact I actually gained an accreditation as a photo expert with Sony Mobile. Most of the photos on this website have been taken by me as I prefer to be behind the camera rather than in front of it. I enjoy just going for a wander and taking all sorts of pictures and then playing around on the computer with different contrasts/brightness etc. 

My 3 beautiful daughters are by far my favorite models, I like taking them out to places, seeing their smiles and capturing memories. Spending time with my family is a massive part of my life.

Dan & myself also enjoy snowboarding! I've been to Andorra, Bulgaria, Slovenia and Italy snowboarding and despite having broken multiple ribs and a collarbone, I continue to hit the slopes. I'm debating on whether to take my wing-man Dan on the next trip. We've gradually been gathering bigger and bigger groups each time we go, If you are interested in joining Ace on tour let us know.
