The Housekeep story:<\/h3>\n

It was only a matter of time before start-ups began to disrupt the UK’s £4bn home cleaning market, and for former Smedvig Capital investor Avin Rabheru the industry represented the big, fragmented (and un-disrupted) market he was looking for.<\/p>\n

The result was Startups 100-listed Housekeep<\/a>, an online platform that connects vetted and experienced home cleaners with house proud home owners and manages the admin, booking and payment for them. Along with secure key collection, tracking and a £2m insurance policy, the company ensures the same cleaner is sent every time to offer a regular and reliable service.<\/p>\n

But it’s not just the customer that benefits, the platform enables its hundreds of cleaners to manage their schedule on a purpose built phone app, allowing them to find a high volume of jobs in their local area and save time and money on travel.<\/p>\n

After a 2014 spent researching, recruiting and marketing, 2015 has seen Housekeep grow its revenue by 32%, and provide an estimated 10,000 hours of cleaning, every month.<\/p>\n

Why Housekeep made our 60:<\/h3>\n

Combining a customer focused approach with a service that has the best interests of its employees at heart, Housekeep has seen rapid growth in the past year. With $1m venture capital backing, the young firm is making waves in the £4bn home cleaning market. Impressive stuff.<\/p>\n
