Found window cleaning couple of years ago. Pond business was dying. A good customer told me her windi was looking for help few days a week. Went out with him two days an loved it. Worked with him for a year. Sold off pond business an set up wfp system. Boss subed enough work to give a decent wage to start. Fell on me feet I think. One year on growing nice an slowly an employing two days a week.

I started in the Grenadier Guards straight from school, then a police officer for 15yrs, before leaving to window cleaning and running a photography business.

I noticed with some folk that there's an instant mistrust of Window cleaners, they soon come round though but often can't get their head around why anyone would leave other so called professional jobs to this, so I explain...[emoji4]

Still doing it now. Love the driving but also love the windows and the money that comes with it!! Oh and dad of 4 grandad of one.

[Part Timer]

Ran a family business that had a £7m+ a year turnover when I was 20. That was sold and in 1999 went self employed buying and selling aluminium scrap. In 2006 started working with the Chinese supplying them mixed metal from fragmentisers , in 2011 set up a reach and wash business for my son, while continuing to do both previous jobs. In 2012 got shafted by the Chinese, in 2013 my son packed in the windows. Got some one else to run it, 2 years later he packed in. Decided to do it myself and turned a £15k a year business into a £35k a business within 2 years and will double that again in the next 2. Apart from this lead a quiet life, and have never had a job that I've enjoyed so much. Just wish I was 20 years younger.
