How it Started

SKG Commercial Cleaning was founded in 1975 by Steve and Kathy Manoussakis. Observing the overall poor quality and general under commitment of cleaning contractors back in the 1970’s, Steve and Kathy Manoussakis took it upon themselves to pioneer the uplift in cleaning standards , revolutionising the way cleaning contractors met client expectations and provide that extra impression towards customer.

Steve founded SKG on the principles of quality, trust and reliability and whilst Steve has passed the reins of SKG to his son George Manoussakis, the Managing Director, he still plays an active role within the Company and his values and legacy run strongly through SKG’s culture.

The company started with a handful of family members operating in NSW, and today it has a strong team of over 1200 employees ranging from senior executives to senior management, from office administrators to site managers and valued and committed cleaners all over Australia.

Leader

George, with over 30 years of commercial cleaning experience, possesses extensive knowledge and experience in the cleaning Industry. His desire to ensure the best outcome for SKG’s clients and a belief that cleaning should not only deliver bottom line results, it should also create better experiences has enabled SKG to grow from strength to strength.

The experience, communication, strategic thinking and insightful management of every client that George and the SKG team undertakes has made SKG one of the largest and respected commercial cleaning companies in Australia.

Growth

We are proudly and professionally providing highest standard of cleanliness, service, support, care, and building maintenance solutions to over 100 clients across Australia from NSW to ACT, QLD, VIC, SA, and WA since 1977.

SKG’s growth has skyrocketed from a small family owned start-up to a well-built competitive organisation that delivers professional cleaning solutions to multiple industries in Australia.

Our Purpose

Is to consistently meet client needs, team satisfaction, and deliver results that go beyond expectations. Customer experience is highly regarded in SKG and our people are well trained to deliver that service to our clients. We provide decades of experience dealing with organisations and their cleaning problems. SKG has established the size, resources and financial capabilities needed to continually thrive in the industry and maintain its highly regarded presence.
