Think Tank: Business ‘Must’ Build Infrastructure – Gold Coast Bulletin

As featured in The Gold Coast Bulletin on Monday the 22nd of May:

‘MIKE Dowling has worked in the cleaning business for more than 25 years and took over the popular James Homes Service in 2015, when it was on the brink of collapse.

The father-of-five has increased the number of franchisees by about 45 per cent, introduced a new IT system and expanded into the commercial-cleaning market since moving the company’s head office to the city. Mr Dowling plans to expand into Tasmania this year and South Australia next year. Before buying James Home Services, Mr Dowling founded supermarket cleaning giant Just 1 Call, which employs about 600 people nationwide. He is also a philanthropist who has donated $300,000 to people in need in the past year…’ (Author Kathleen Skene, published in The Gold Coast Bulletin, 22nd of May, 2017).
