Why Howden Ward first

We’re based at Howden Community Hub — so we start where we are. Prove volume, reliability, and paid work for cleaners in Howden Ward (~12–13k people), then expand ward by ward and postcode by postcode.

Why £30 for two hours

That’s where my own cleaner says the sweet spot is. Two hours works better for travelling between jobs — and it’s essentially where the market is. Go higher and people simply don’t use you. So we price for reach and volume, not for a fat margin on paper.

Every pound to cleaners

I will put all the money straight back into cleaner fees. I am not going to draw any money from this business. Grow it indefinitely: more jobs, more customers, more surface area for the software.

Jobs + software customers

The ambition is dual: give people work, and find customers for the software company. Cleaning is the wedge into field services — real routes, real schedules, real proof.

The flywheel

Start with volume in Howden Ward. Climb into higher-value commercial work. Donate surplus back. Power the cycle again.

  1. 1

    Reach (Howden Ward)

    Book as many £30 / 2-hour jobs as the market will take. Pay cleaners. No founder draw.

  2. 2

    Discover

    Meet people who work in interesting places. Win commercial cleaning contracts for more money when we can.

  3. 3

    Return

    Donate that surplus back to Tyneside Charity — more free welcome-home cleans, more paid hours, more wards.

  4. 4

    Spread

    Ward by ward, postcode by postcode. The joke is “the whole world” — and if it kept working, I’d take it that far.
