Clear Cleaning
Colin Brookes of Clear Cleaning started
working as a window cleaner way back
in 1978 – but things have changed a lot
since then!
He and Richard Emmanuel formed Clear
Cleaning in 1994, building on an already
successful partnership that began with
an early-morning interview:
“Colin interviewed me at about 5.30
am in a café somewhere in Deptford,”
says Richard. “I’d never cleaned windows
before, but Colin took a chance, gave me
a crash course, and dropped me at a
school in Surrey with a two part ladder!
It was scary stuff, but I managed.
However, I’m glad to say Health and
Safety is a much bigger factor in the
business these days.”
