New Christian cleaning company hopes to lead by example

by Tola Mbakwe

Clean for Good began as an idea which started in 2014 in the Parish of St Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe. The church wanted to find a practical way to help low-paid workers in their wealthy parish.

The new company has committed to providing its employees with paid leave, guaranteed working hours, training and personal development opportunities.

Catherine Pearson, Clean for Good's Business Manager told Premier: "It's different in the way we treat our staff.

"They're our best assets. We feel we will get our best service from them by paying them well and treating them well."

She added that Christian values are integral to how the company operates.

Pearson said: "We're totally motivated by what we believe in, in terms of justice, loving one another, and how we should treat one another right and fairly and how you should reward people a fair wage for a fair day's work.

"It's very at the heart of what we're doing and why we do it."

Clean for Good will launch Thursday evening after the idea won a 'dragon's den' competition at the Greenbelt Festival and by working in partnership with the Centre for Theology & Community and other investors including the Church Mission Society.

Pearson said they have a few clients so far, ranging from charities to design agencies and churches.
She said: "I'm particularly encouraged by the churches that are interested in using our service because they do have small budgets but they're willing to pay that little bit more in order to know that they are getting an ethical service."

Jonny Baker, director of Church Mission Society's mission pioneer programme, said it's initiatives like this that will determine the future health of the Church.

He said: "Clean for Good is a potent combination of pioneering mission, social enterprise and God's love. It is practical mission in action."
