Who are Partners in Grime Services?

Lisa Vincent

Marketing Manager / Director

I'm 33 years old, I have lived in Taranaki on and off since I was born, I have recently returned to Taranaki with my husband Allan and our three children aged 11, 4 and 4 months, so we can be be closer to family and raise our children in a great district .

I started helping out with just some marketing on Facebook so i could help out and to give me something to do with my idle time while my baby was asleep.

When I was asked if I would like to take an active role within the company, I jumped at the chance to enhance an already strong family unit, I liked the idea of being able to work from home so I could continue to look after my children fulltime, at the same time as doing something to better myself and family.

I am going to be doing cleaning 2 days a week in Hawera from August.

Debbie Auckram

Managing Director/ Certified Head Cleaner

I am 45 years old, I has born in Invercargill, grew up in Wellington, I moved to New Plymouth when i was 23, it has become my home.

I started commercial cleaning when I was 13, I would be recruited to help out with a family friends cleaning business in Upper Hutt on a semi regular basis. She taught me the fundamentals of cleaning. I have built on those core values and adapted them to suit who I am. I have now been cleaning fulltime for 15 years.

I am the mother of 6 not so small children, the oldest is 33 and the youngest is 22 , 4 of my children are children of my heart, they came to me as foster kids and we have built a strong family unit from it, I am also the Nana of 5.  I started Partners in Grime in September 2019, wanting to leave something of importance to them all. As a result my eldest daughter Lisa started marketing me in January, and has now joined me in the management of the business and we are building us up into a business that prides itself on its honesty and integrity. Lisa is now going to be working 2 days a week cleaning in Hawera.

April 2020 I have just completed and passed a course on Home and Commercial Cleaning, Through New Skills Academy  /uploads/files/Home%20ND%20COMMERCIAL%20CLEANING%20certificate.pdf
