I started my relationship with The Duster Dollies as a contractor before finally taking the opportunity to buy into the franchise myself.

Before discovering my new career path as a business owner I worked in Administration for 11 years, but found I wanted a change of direction. I began working as a housemaid in a hotel/motel and was there for almost three years, cooking breakfasts, cleaning rooms and making beds etc before discovering the Duster Dollies.

This was the turning point in my life – even though I eventually left The Duster Dollies to pursue my own cleaning work. I remained on good terms with the agency owner and was eventually offered an opportunity that was too good to refuse!

For me, starting out as a cleaner was very important. I didn’t dive straight into running the agency; it was a series of stepping stones and this allowed me to understand client needs very clearly. My background in an office environment has come in handy too, in the running of the business.

Funnily enough I enjoy what I do, it gives me flexibility and time to be able to run a business as well as look after my daughter. Because I am a single Mum so time and flexibility is something that is important to me - and I get to meet new people and build a friendship with them as well as with my cleaners.

I've learned clients are like friends they're there for either a reason, a season or a lifetime. If you are thinking of becoming a franchisee or you are interested in contracting for me, I would love to hear from you, so feel free to contact us.
