Diana Rhodes



I joined Kleeneze in June 2010 after, being made redundant from my job in March.

I knew my niece was involved with Kleeneze, as she approached me in 2005 but, the at that time I wasn’t looking for anything. After a couple of months of looking for employment I decided to give her a call, and it took a few phone calls as she had changed her phone number, and moved.

I live in a small village in Wiltshire, and initially I was a little worried how I would distribute the catalogues and would I get orders, as I don’t drive and the area where I live is very rural.

However I dusted off the battery to my electric bike, and decided to give it ago!!

In my first 4 weeks I have been amazed at how the business has gone, I have done 2 drops of books every week throughout the period, I achieved £1500 of sales in my first 4 weeks!! Giving me a total income of £460.42 month one from a standing start.

I have met some lovely people, inviting me for coffee, giving me tomato plants and my bike has been a real talking point around the village.
