Fernando Perdigao
Owner of Enviro Clean
Basingstoke and Deane
In May 2025, Fernando Perdigao took the bold step of purchasing the Enviro Clean Basingstoke and Deane territory, leaving behind a career as a police constable. After six years of working under a boss, Fernando reached a point where he wanted more freedom, control, and the opportunity to run his own business. Choosing Enviro Clean gave him exactly that — a proven model, strong support, and the ability to grow something that’s truly his own.
Just four months in, Fernando is already seeing impressive results. Around 80% of his work is now self-generated, showing the power of building a local reputation and delivering a quality service customers trust. He continues to receive a steady stream of work week after week, balancing both new inquiries and repeat clients.
Fernando attributes much of his smooth transition to the excellent support provided by Enviro Clean during the start-up phase. From training to operational guidance, the franchise team helped him set up quickly and effectively, giving him confidence as he navigated the early stages of self-employment.
Alongside this support, Fernando has invested in his own growth. He currently spends around £700 per month on advertising, ensuring his brand is visible locally. At the same time, word-of-mouth recommendations are rapidly becoming a major driver of new business — a clear sign that customers are happy to recommend him to others.
Fernando’s story shows how determination, strong franchise backing, and smart marketing can turn ambition into reality. In just a few months, he has built a thriving business, left the limitations of employment behind, and taken control of his future with Enviro Clean.
