Let’s face it, commercial cleaning can be hard and it can be tedious, but if I know that cleaning an office not only gives a good result for a client and feeds my family, but also the turnover contribution from that job may just help even one Kiwi kid not be abused, then I have found my Meaning. And better still, when that Meaning is shared, our clients participate in it too - it becomes a Shared Meaning, and the momentum from that is unstoppable.”
When he’s not working, Kevin enjoys the sea, learning to speak Croatian and reading.
