Rob and his friend Brandon met in college and bonded over their shared interests. While Rob wanted to pursue a career in IT, Brandon dreamed of starting his own business. During their third year, Brandon convinced Rob to join him in establishing a cleaning services business. Brandon had identified a market niche for such services in their local area. While finishing their degrees, Rob found a job listing at a major London cleaning company, allowing them both to gain professional cleaning experience before striking out on their own.
