A BUSINESSWOMAN says she is 'proud' of herself after launching her latest venture – and says now is her 'turn to shine'.

Marie Ashcroft, originally from Warrington, but who now lives in Brampton, near Carlisle, has created her new cleaning service which prides itself on 'high standards, honesty, and reliability.'

Marie previously owned a salon business in her hometown of Warrington, however, she is now banking on creating her new brand.

After launching her new business, Marie expressed her determination to make First Class Cleaning a shining success. 

"I am a hairdresser by trade. I worked my way up in the industry, and I had my own salon business in Warrington, where I am from," she said.

"It was daunting but exciting starting out, and I made a success of it.

"I’m now in that stage again. I’ve cleaned for many establishments, and now it's my turn to shine, I’ve done it once, and I can do it again.

"I am grateful and proud to have worked in prestigious local establishments.

"So with all my service experiences and opportunities, I thought the time had come to set up on my own, giving me the freedom and independence to build a business with the potential for growth, with a passion for business being my main motivation."

Marie also explained more about the services that First Class Cleaning will offer and how she will make it stand out from other local cleaning companies. 

She said: "I will always have a consultation with my client, find out what their needs and wishes are, and be guided by them.

"Also, I understand the nature of holiday lets, etc, with the turnaround days, so priority is key for these types of properties, timekeeping and punctuality, and complete confidentiality.

"I have my own products and vacuum, but happy to use the client's own if they wish.

"Being a hairdresser, I have a great eye for detail, I am a perfectionist, with exceptional customer care.

"I am very excited, being my own boss, the sense of achievement and knowing I am giving First Class Cleaning."
