Commercial Cleaning Group; how did we get here?

It’s currently October 2nd 2026. I’m writing this from my camper van in Kinloch, New Zealand.

Side note: how good is New Zealand!

So CCG, how did this thing begin?

After a third Europe trip, I headed home to a sliding doors moment, a point in time where I really had to reflect on what I was doing & what I wanted to do with my life. I decided I wanted to have my own business.

I was so lucky to grow up in a household where school/uni wasn’t placed on such high importance. Parents who instilled values in us that have allowed us to thrive in the real world. Nothing like a bit of hard work & rolling the sleeves up; that one was a non-negotiable.

Truly, thank you for everything you both did, I will never forget it. I am so lucky, thank you for the opportunity & headstart you gave me. I adore you both.

Okay… Back to November 2022… Commercial Cleaning Group (CCG) was born.

After a while of deliberating whether I should do cleaning, vending machines or a car wash, I landed on cleaning.

I had no money, was still living at home, & Mum was nice enough to get me my first job, her co-working space, Rethink Your Workspace!! Not only did she do that, she also bought me my first vacuum & cleaning equipment. I was properly broke!

I was in and out for months. Was this actually something I wanted to do? It wasn’t until I was overseas in Ireland that the fire actually kicked in. I personally say that March 1st 2023 is when my business career started. This is when I said I’m in.

Okay, to be fair, I was in & out multiple times over that first year. It was hard. Door knocking is a tough gig!!

BUT… it taught me about me & who I was, and lessons that I will forever remember fondly, I am grateful for that! I owe CCG so much, it has truly shaped me into the young man that I am today.

I look back on 2023 with one quote:

“To get something you never had, you have to do something you’ve never done.”

It is also the year we got our first team member, who happens to be a partner in this company!!!

That would be Mr Rothfield, the man himself! & what a man he is, the kindest man I know.

I can go on forever about the last few years, but I think I’ll wrap it up with this:

What we worked out as a team was that it HAS to be team first.

I know that’s not exactly what you want to hear as a client of ours or a potential client in the future, but it’s just what it is at CCG.

And we truly do the best that we can every time, & on those days we don’t get it right, that’s okay, they’re bound to happen. Let’s both zoom out together & see this as a 10, 20, 30 year partnership.

I hope that this small insight into this team & me gives you a small understanding of who we are & what we do.

If this sounds like it would be worth reaching out, give us a call or shoot us an email! Also, if you aren’t interested, that’s all good, no stress!
