I have been running a cleaning company for eight years, and I’m really, really good at cleaning, but I didn’t have a clue how to expand or take on staff. I joined the DCBN in 2019, and honestly, I’m not sure I would have survived the pandemic without them. They put on specialist courses and training to keep us open and operational when times were really uncertain, but the part I like best is that I have met other people in similar situations, who have given me the confidence and knowledge to expand. I customised all the templates, took the plunge to register as an employer and started to really understand my accounts. I had loads of questions and wobbles but there were always people on hand to support me. I now have five employees and hope to double this next year. I thought I knew how to clean. I had risk assessments, but I never realised how much more I was expected to do. It was overwhelming at first, and I felt terrible that I hadn’t known this. When I learned about COSHH working for another company, I didn’t realise there were great big COSHH risk assessments on chemicals. I had just attended the training. The DCBN made this overwhelming task so much easier. It was broken down into manageable chunks, and the community reassured me that it does take a while to get all this in place. Running a cleaning business will involve a certain amount of balancing the seesaw. You will either have too much or too little demand. Staff are queuing up to work for you or you can’t pay them to work for you. As demand and supply swing up and down, the DCBN is there to keep you on an even keel, reacting to market movements but with the skills to adapt either way.

Started my company in 2019 and didn’t have a clue what I was doing to be honest. I knew how to clean but didn’t know anything about business. I signed up to the DCBN free membership and got chatting to the directors and started finding my feet within the cleaning community, now a paying member and we have grown so much as a business with their support, advice and guidance to doing it the right way . There’s always someone to answer your questions no matter how silly they maybe. Love the training and webinars they provide and I have learnt so much. Thank you

Joining the DCBN association has been one of the best decisions I have made for both myself and my business. Being a young business (17 months) it has been invaluable the support which has been given from the directors and members too. The resources available have been fantastic from the one to one calls, online training and all the documents needed. You also don't feel alone as all the directors and members are there to help and support you in your journey and the great thing is it really is a great network and has given me the confidence to learn and grow as a business. Don't hesitate in joining as you certainly will not be disappointed.

DCBN have been an invaluable resource for my business, up to date information, access to useful resourses and a really friendly team who are working tirelessly to get the cleaning profession recognised. Events that I've attended have been excellent and a great chance to meet with like minded individuals all striving for the same goal. Can highly recommend them.
