Cleaning with Meaning, founded by Kelly Moore in 2021, is entering its fourth year with steady growth, a strong environmental ethos and plans to extend its services into new sectors.
The Kent-based company now manages more than 100 contracts and is preparing to grow its workforce to ten employees while targeting opportunities in schools and healthcare facilities.
Kelly’s transition into business followed years in healthcare and community roles, during which she balanced employment with raising a family on her own.
A cleaning job found through Facebook became the starting point for a new career. Her leadership skills quickly led to a supervisory role, and she established her own company with a focus on sustainability and social value.
The business has consistently used environmentally responsible products, including early formulations created by Kelly. Its motto, “Looking after our planet one clean at a time,” reflects that approach. Kelly said: “A sustainable route is one we will always be on with this company, because I’m really passionate about the planet and people.”
As the company grows, Kelly is moving into a development role, seeking contracts in education and healthcare where she sees strong alignment with the firm’s environmental message.
“I am talking to a school about a big new contract that would really be taking us into new territory, but what better place than education to grasp our message of sustainability, I really believe that is an ideal place,” Kelly added.
Reaching a team of ten staff represents a significant achievement for the business. Kelly said: “I could not have imagined it, but we will soon have 10 employees. This is just the start – I am so passionate about helping people.”
Beyond commercial activity, she remains committed to community support and recently addressed a Job Centre event aimed at encouraging women to return to work.
Public speaking has become an important part of her outreach. Kelly said: “I love getting up and speaking. There were more than 70 in attendance and explaining my journey to them just felt wonderful. If I can show them how I achieved this, show them it can be done, I would love to be able to bring that message to so many people.”
The company’s next phase will focus on responsible growth, sector expansion and continued community involvement.
