Starting CMB Window Cleaning wasn’t just a career choice; it was a life choice. It was about taking control of my future, creating a better quality of life for my family, and pursuing a passion for learning and growing. Let me take you through the story of how and why I decided to take the leap into building my own business.
The Turning Point: From Factory Floors to Freedom
Before starting CMB Window Cleaning, I spent six years working at Vauxhall in Luton. It was a stable job, but as the years went by, I started to feel the weight of routine. The decision to leave Vauxhall was not taken lightly, but I knew I wanted more control over my future.
Fast forward to today, Vauxhall is set to close in 2025, and looking back, I’m grateful I made the decision to leave when I did. It gave me the time and opportunity to start something of my own—a business that I could shape, grow, and be proud of.
A Better Life for My Family
One of the biggest motivations for starting CMB Window Cleaning was my family. Like many people, I wanted to create a better work-life balance. Working long shifts at Vauxhall often meant missing out on precious moments with my loved ones. I didn’t want that to be my reality anymore.
By running my own business, I could set my own hours, work locally, and ensure that I was present for the important milestones in my family’s life. It wasn’t just about earning a living; it was about creating a life that prioritized happiness, health, and togetherness.
A Passion for Learning and Growth
Another driving force behind starting the business was my passion for learning. I’ve always been fascinated by the ins and outs of how things work—whether it’s understanding the mechanics of a machine or the dynamics of running a successful business.
Starting CMB Window Cleaning gave me the perfect opportunity to dive into the world of entrepreneurship. From mastering the technical aspects of window cleaning to learning about customer service, marketing, and operations, every day has been a chance to grow and improve.
Building a Business with Heart
From day one, I’ve been committed to making CMB Window Cleaning more than just a service provider. I wanted to create a business that people could rely on—one that’s friendly, local, and genuinely cares about its customers.
The journey hasn’t always been easy, but it’s been incredibly rewarding. Today, we serve hundreds of happy customers across Westoning and nearby towns. We’ve grown to offer not just window cleaning but also gutter and solar panel cleaning, and we’re proud to support our community in any way we can.
Looking Ahead
As I reflect on how far we’ve come, I’m filled with gratitude for the decision I made to step out on my own. It’s been a journey of hard work, learning, and growth, but most importantly, it’s been a journey of creating a better life for my family.
The closure of Vauxhall in 2025 may mark the end of an era for many, but for me, it’s a reminder of how important it is to take control of your future. CMB Window Cleaning isn’t just a business—it’s a testament to the power of following your passions, building something meaningful, and creating a life that truly matters.
If you’re considering taking a leap of faith to chase your dreams, my advice is simple: go for it. The road might be challenging, but the rewards are worth every step.
