A new study by Kleeneze has shown that a typical family can be paying 30% of its disposable income on the costs associated with simply going to work.

High childcare and commuting costs, added to the extra costs involved with eating out for lunch and buying work clothes, can amount to £5,796 a year per worker the research shows.

Based on an average individual net income of £18,897, this means that almost a third of a person’s salary disappears before they even get to enjoy it.

It seems that this fact isn’t being lost on the estimated 681,000 people in the UK who mainly work at home and are able to largely avoid these costs. 

Jamie Stewart, managing director of Kleeneze, says: “We have been able to grow by explaining to new recruits the many benefits of working from home, one of which is the financial saving that can be made by working from home. 

“This is especially true for families trying to juggle childcare commitments who can often arrange their time to avoid expensive nursery fees, or for those facing long and expensive commutes to work.”

Five Kleeneze distributors have been chosen to front the company’s latest high profile national ad campaign.

Phil Lowe and Helen Kolbusz from Loughborough,  Mark and Alison Bird from Colchester and Chrissy Sykes from Leicestershire have  been picked from over 10,000 Kleeneze distributors to represent the company in its latest national television advertisement.

Jamie Stewart, managing director of Kleeneze, said: “We chose Phil, Helen, Mark, Alison and Chrissy to appear in our new advertisement as they are all great examples of how our distributors can make Kleeneze work for them.

“All of them run their businesses under very different circumstances, yet they’ve managed to make each a massive success.”

Students Phil and Helen run their Kleeneze business around their studies, while Mark and Alison have built their business after both were made redundant from their full-time jobs in recent years. Chrissy has developed her Kleeneze business while also caring for her young son.

Jamie continued: “With many people looking for new opportunities in the New Year, we hope the launch of our latest TV advertisement will prove to be well timed in effectively highlighting the variety of benefits associated with working for Kleeneze.”

The new ad campaign launches on Monday January 18.

With many of us facing added pressure to put in more time at the office and employers increasingly unwilling to offer working parents flexible hours, those with families are looking for other options that will allow them to earn income while also being there for their child.

Kleeneze offers you the opportunity to work when you want, meaning you’ll never have to miss a school sports day or parents evening again.

26 year old Chrissy Sykes decided that her job as a health and safety assessor just wasn’t compatible with raising her little boy. She took the decision to hand in her notice and join up with Kleeneze instead. She’s now able to earn upwards of £700 a month while also enjoying plenty of time with her two year old son.
