AM Exterior Cleaning Podcast

87 episodes - English - Latest episode: 26 days ago -

It’s over 25 years since I started my exterior cleaning business; A. E. Mackintosh Cleaning Services. In that time I’ve learnt a lot! Not just about a wide range of exterior cleaning services including gutter cleaning, pressure washing, domestic and commercial water fed pole cleaning applications, and even roof cleaning! But I have also picked up a great deal of business knowledge which I love to share for the benefit of anyone who is self employed. I have one of the largest exterior cleaning YouTube channels in the UK and now I even help others into business with my unique training program. So in this Podcast I endeavour to share, not only tips and advice to help your business, but also news and reviews on the latest tools and techniques. I will also have interviews and business tips that might even give you ideas on how you could find ways to increase your profitability? Or maybe the chat and banter will just help you through the working day! I hope you enjoy. Ashley.
