She had previously worked at a call centre, but grew bored and decided that she wanted to do something for herself.

“I thought about what I could offer, that a lot of people would want, and that I could do really well, and came up with the idea of running an Ovenclean business, offering a service that would give me job satisfaction and would help others with busy lives,” she said.

She launched her Ovenclean franchise early in 2008 and has built up a large regular, customer base with plenty of repeat orders.

“People are absolutely amazed at the end results, and those who have never had their ovens cleaned professionally before almost always become regular customers,” she said.

As a result of this success, her plans now include expanding the business, putting a second van on the road and taking on staff.

She added: “I’m glad I made the break from my old job and had the courage to start my own business. I’ve had plenty of support, I love working for myself and it’s great to so highly valued by my customers.”
