“It’s been a really good journey,” Pramesh Datt says.
Auckland Central franchisee team Pramesh and Vandhana Sharma have achieved a 10 year milestone with CrestClean.
Regional Manager Dries Mangnus presented Pramesh and Vandhana with a 10 year glass plaque and a $2000 travel voucher in recognition of their achievement.
“Crest has been really good for us. We are so happy that we have achieved 10 years,” he says. “We have enjoy being part of the Crest family. We have been able to travel.”
After being made redundant as a telecommunication technician prior to Crest, Pramesh who managed to find another job as a technician also purchased a Crest franchise.
“We cleaned premises at night and in the morning. It was great because it was always after hours work,” he says. “We started off with a $50,000 turnover and jumped a year later to $80,000 to $110,000. It is hard work but we really enjoy it and we take pride in the work that we do.”
Pramesh and Vandhana live in Titirangi and look after seven customers in the Auckland Central region. Each customer is a well-known brand name and they all have their own individual requirements.
“We make sure they are each cleaned to a consistent standard,” he says. “We love living in Auckland. We get to meet people. Our clients are really good, they look after us and we look after them. Our customers are always happy with the job we do.”
Pramesh and Vandhana enjoy the flexibility that goes alongside owning a Crest franchise.
“It’s your time. If you need to do something then you can. There is that flexibility there. It’s great,” he says. “We are looking forward to achieving another 10 years with Crest.”
