Previously I worked for Virgin Megastores for 15 years managing my own store in Stafford. My husband-Pete and I then took on our own business managing a 24 hour Shell Service Station, which was extremely hard work and we didn't get much of a life, but we learnt allot.

18 months ago Pete had a heart attack out of the blue. We gave up the business and I took a year off to look after Pete.

I was looking to get back into work but was unsure what I wanted to do. Money wasn't the priority; I just wanted to get out meeting people and still having time to spend with Pete. I had wanted to go into business again but with Pete not well enough to work this didn't seem to be an option.

While job hunting I came across an ad in the local paper, I filled in my details on the website to find out more info. Andrew Mitchell, a local distributor, contacted me my e-mail almost straight away, he called me the next day and we arranged to meet.

As soon as he explained about Kleeneze I was really excited, I thought this could be what I am looking for. Pete also thought it was worth giving it a go.

I am still learning but earning as I go and now working towards recruiting my own team. The beauty of Kleeneze is that you are your own boss, running your own business with very small set up costs. It is very flexible and you start earning money straight away. You also meet many people whilst out and about in the fresh air getting lots of exercise.
