THE SMALL STEPS BEHIND YOUR BIG LEAPS

AT THE CENTER OF SIDEKICK

Twelve years ago, Peter and Angela Vohmann recognized a growing emphasis among Clearwater Cleaning Services’ clientele on the efficacy of their workspaces. They observed a direct link between workplace quality and employee productivity for certain organizations. These clients required a tailored support model that would optimize efficiency beyond their capacity and expertise. They sought a partner adept at understanding their unique challenges and personnel needs, capable of devising workflows and systems to realize their desired work environments. Thus, Sidekick emerged from Clearwater Cleaning to meet this demand.

Drawing from their extensive background, Peter and Angela were well-equipped to launch this new venture. Their experience as co-founders of The Clubhouse, a Conde Nast award-winning hotel, and Peter’s finance career provided insights into delivering exceptional hospitality and advanced reporting functionalities. Angela’s 15-year ownership of Clearwater Cleaning Services offered deep sector knowledge. These foundations enabled Sidekick to develop a comprehensive six-step methodology, ensuring thorough comprehension of each client’s requirements and ongoing contract refinement.

In the past ten years, Sidekick has experienced exponential growth, surpassing £18 million in turnover. Noteworthy achievements include securing a multi-million-pound contract with The Office Group recognized with a silver award in the PFM “Partnership in Cleaning” Large Estate category. Sidekick’s innovative approach, highlighted by the development of the Sidekick App, earned them silver in the CSSA Innovation category. Additionally, independent research by Plimsoll identified Sidekick as the fastest-growing cleaning contractor in 2017 and 2020, further supported by recognition in the FEBE Growth 100 in 2023 and 2024. And we’re growing in the right way; Sidekick became B Corp certified in June 2023.

While the journey has just begun, Sidekick is poised for a bright, sustainable, and meticulously organized, future.
