After initially starting business as
purely brush makers, Kleeneze gradually expanded to include household
consumables within its range – beginning with polish. The very first
Kleeneze distributors were known as Boosters as they boosted brush
sales. Between 1945 – 1960, Kleeneze began to expand its range to
include Talcum Powder, Oatmeal Bathcubes and Chlorophyll Toothpaste.
Kleeneze was no longer simply a brush making company; the business
was progressing and expanding. During the 1960s Kleeneze agents,
as they were now known, were awarded self-employed status.
Between 1970-1980 Network Marketing, a concept unique in the UK,
was introduced and, in an attempt to modernise the Kleeneze image,
a move was made to step away from traditional brush and polish selling
to aerosol and car care products.
Agents become distributors and bring growth
From 1980 onwards the home shopping and direct selling phenomenon
took off. Kleeneze was now solely concerned with Network Marketing
and the dedication and energy of Kleeneze ‘agents’ built the foundation
for today’s Opportunity.
During the 1990s Kleeneze’s successful programme of incentives
saw ‘agents’ flocking to the business.
In 1995 Kleeneze re-launched its activities in the Republic of
Ireland. Since this time, both Distributor (as agents are now known)
numbers and sales figures have grown.
In May 2004, Kleeneze opened its brand new office headquarters
and distribution centre in Bristol. The new site is spacious, modern
and, with its contemporary offices and new technology, allows the
business to thrive and build on its 83 year history. Kleeneze began
its European expansion in 2004, starting with the Netherlands.
Thanks to its success there, Kleeneze have now expanded into Germany
in what is an exciting and historic development for 2006.
Distributor numbers in the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands are
increasing as the business continues to grow and expand. This is
a fantastic time to join Kleeneze as a distributor.
