Message from the founder
the story of showpiece cleaning
I started Showpiece Cleaning in 2018 (formerly known as Fitz Cleaning). After working in many jobs throughout my 20's in places like Australia and United Kingdom, I decided I wanted to start something myself.
The inspiration to start my own business came to me when I was working a long 12 hour shift in Manchester. When I was in the gym, a TV show about Duncan Bannatyne came on. His story was fascinating and since that day I have been hooked about business.
I came home, back to Limerick and got stuck in. I had no clue what business to start but after talking with my friends, I decided to start a cleaning business. Off I went with hardly any money. I passed out thousands of flyers and started landing some jobs from them. Since then I have grown every year. 3 years in and I have big plans ahead. In 2022, the name was changed from Fitz Cleaning to Showpiece Cleaning.
On January 2024, Michael Barry has now taken over Showpiece Cleaning.
