Build a better cleaning business. Not just a busier one.
Practical, straight-talking coaching for cleaning business owners who want better profits, stronger systems, a team they can rely on and a business that doesn't depend on them for everything!

No generic business theory
I've built the kind of business I now help others create
Hi, I'm Diane Greenwood and I’m an entrepreneur, property investor and experienced business coach who has spent nearly 20 years building and growing businesses of my own.
One of my biggest measures of success is creating a cleaning business that no longer relies on me to run it day to day. That freedom has allowed me to live in my beautiful home in France while my businesses continue to operate in the UK and now I help other cleaning business owners create that same freedom, whatever that looks like for them.
Alongside my hands-on experience as a business owner, I have a BSc in IT, Business Management and Languages from the University of York and a professional background in business coaching, including four and a half years as a business manager at ActionCOACH.
My approach combines business knowledge with real-world experience: practical, supportive and straight-talking, with a focus on better profits, stronger systems and a reliable team so that ultimately, you run the business rather than the business running you.
You didn't start a cleaning business to create yourself a stressful full time job!
