Cleaning with ‘Real’ Meaning
Not just your ordinary commercial cleaning service, NZ-owned Kiwi Commercial Cleaning (KCC) has revolutionized the industry with their holistic approach — ‘Cleaning with Meaning’.
This simple philosophy is central to their scientific-based practices and how KCC support their franchisee teams and serve their clients. “Our success is measured not just by profits, but by the positive impact we have on the community around us,” says Angela Behrens, Director and Owner KCC.
People First
At the heart of their success, are its people – the 37 franchise owners and management staff personally looking after a range of premium commercial clients, across six cities in the North Island.
“We take the time to understand our clients’ needs, the needs of their staff and their spaces,” adds Angela. “It is both individual and collective pride that drives us to always give our clients the best we can give and stay flexible as their needs evolve.”
As a franchise-based enterprise, KCC is always looking to provide local opportunities for individuals to embark on business ownership.
With KCC, you don’t just buy a job and a uniform – you buy into a community, a support network, and the flexibility to grow into a large-scale operation or maintain a small, personalized business.
Making a Difference
KCC don’t just talk about giving back either. With every carpet vacuumed, window washed, and toilet scrubbed, a percentage of turnover goes to Child Matters, a charity helping keep children safe in our communities.
Through training, policy guidance, and school audits, Child Matters equips and upskills professionals and volunteers with the tools to prevent harm and improve outcomes for vulnerable children.
“In Aotearoa, child protection training is not mandatory for professionals or volunteers who work with tamariki and rangatahi. Education of all sections of our communities is essential for reducing abuse and neglect,” says Jane Searle, Chief Executive of Child Matters. “We are extremely grateful for the generous and ongoing support of Kiwi Commercial Cleaning – their support means we can continue our vital work of educating the workforce and community to prevent child abuse.”
Driving Force
Quietly working behind the scenes is KCC’s hardworking fleet, consisting of Suzuki Vitaras, Swifts, and Swift Sports. Whether visiting potential clients, quoting new sites, or conducting service audits, Suzuki is a vital part of KCC’s daily operations.
Angela explains, “Reliability is not just a promise we make to our clients; it’s a standard we uphold in every aspect of our business, including our fleet. Our Suzukis tick every box – cost effective to run, easy to maintain and look sharp doing it.”
