CleanKings From Humble Beginnings to a National Empire (2012 - Present)

The Beginning

Founders: Don Hett and Edriyan Osmond started CleanKings as a hospitality-focused commercial cleaning company.

Operated from a garage, servicing a handful of hospitality venues such as restaurants, pubs, and event venues.

Early Growth & Market Expansion

Expanded services to hotels, cafes, and gaming venues.

Built a reputation for reliability, high-quality service, and a customer-centric approach.

Secured major contracts with hospitality chains and event spaces, allowing for reinvestment into better equipment and workforce training.

Expanded operations to gyms, fitness centers, and recreational facilities alongside hospitality cleaning.

Industry Diversification & Scaling

Moved beyond hospitality into medical, aged care, childcare, and retail cleaning.

CleanKings established dedicated teams for large-scale cleaning projects in various industries, including commercial offices, body corporate, and automotive cleaning.

The COVID-19 Challenge & Business Resilience
