Alan commented: “I’d had the idea for a local cleaning company which offered both residential, commercial and industrial services in the back of my head for quite a while, but had never got round to getting it started.

“When the pandemic hit, my existing business was affected, and I knew that I had the opportunity and some extra time to really think about Revolution Cleaning Services NI.

“As a business owner, I knew the logistics of running a business, but with Revolution Cleaning Services NI I was entering a new market and needed some expert advice. I got in touch with the Go For It programme online and it all went from there.”

Hannah William, Business Advisor with Lisburn Enterprise Organisation for Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council, said; “Helping Alan during the start-up stage of his business, especially during the current climate was really fantastic. As an experienced business owner, Alan had a good understanding of what was required, but needed help to fine tune the finer details.”
