Co-founder, Mackies Cleaning Group & Cadi
Ten years ago, Rhianna left a career in corporate retail to join her partner Chris in his small-town window cleaning company. What started as a two-person operation in a quiet corner of the UK has since grown into a multi-arm cleaning powerhouse — spanning residential, commercial and exterior cleaning across multiple regions, and still expanding.
The decade in between wasn't a straight line. It was a decade of hiring the wrong people, losing clients, navigating HMRC curveballs, outgrowing systems, rebuilding them, and slowly working out how to turn a local round into a proper business. Every problem Rhianna hit, she had to solve herself — there was no blueprint for this industry.
Ready to Scale is what she wishes had existed. Each episode is drawn from real decisions, real mistakes, and real wins — built for cleaning business owners who are done staying small and ready to figure out what comes next.
"We didn't build this overnight. But we built it. And so can you."
Every episode is practical, specific, and built for cleaning business owners. No fluff.
