Cleaning with Meaning, an eco-focused cleaning company in Kent, is marking four years of operation with continued contract growth, an expanding workforce and plans to enter new service areas.
Founded in 2021 by Kelly Moore, the business is approaching ten employees and has secured more than 100 clients, reflecting consistent development since its launch.
Kelly’s move into entrepreneurship followed a period working in healthcare and community positions while raising a family as a single parent.
A cleaning opportunity identified online became the turning point, leading to a management role and ultimately the creation of her own company with sustainability at its core.
From the beginning, the firm has used environmentally responsible cleaning solutions, many initially developed by Kelly. The guiding phrase, “Looking after our planet one clean at a time,” expresses this commitment. 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.”
With operations now established, Kelly is focusing on business development and exploring contracts in schools and healthcare settings, which she believes align closely with the company’s values.
“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.
The anticipated expansion to ten staff marks an important milestone. 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.”
Community engagement remains central to her work, including recent participation in a Job Centre event aimed at supporting women returning to employment.
She views this advocacy as a key part of her role. 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.”
As the company moves forward, its priorities include sustainable expansion, workforce development and continued support for the local community.
