Alexander’s Journey at Hemfrid
Alexander began his journey at Hemfrid in 2011 with an initial role in window cleaning. Soon, his responsibilities expanded to include one-time services like deep cleaning and move-out cleaning.
“It was a simple start, but over time, both my responsibilities and my connection to the company grew,” Alexander shares.
He took on the role of team leader, becoming the link between customers, managers, and colleagues—a position where he could coordinate resources and build relationships on multiple levels. Alexander enjoyed working in the office, and when an Area Manager position opened up, he applied and got the role.
Now, with years of experience in both the recurring and one-time teams, Alexander looks back on a versatile journey that has provided him with insights into everything from fieldwork to strategic planning.
Why Alexander Stays
“I really enjoy working with my colleagues,” says Alexander. For him, the collaboration—with both field and office colleagues—has become a driving force that makes each workday meaningful.
“It doesn’t feel like going to work; it feels more like coming home.”
Another reason is the opportunity to build a career without needing formal education. Alexander describes it as a “Hemfrid career.” Employees are given the chance to grow, receive internal training, and develop with the support of managers and colleagues who believe in their potential.
The Role of Area Manager
Moving from window cleaner to Area Manager is a journey Alexander values for the broad experience it has given him.
“Having that background and experience from the field is invaluable,” he explains.
Today, he supports his colleagues in their work while maintaining contact with both employees and customers.
“Every day looks different, and that’s what makes the job so enjoyable.”
Alexander starts each day with a cup of coffee and a review of the day’s tasks and schedule. As an Area Manager, much of his time is spent coordinating and planning to ensure both customers and employees are satisfied. His day includes everything from responding to customer emails to holding follow-up conversations with colleagues and finding the best solutions in schedule planning.
“It’s about ensuring everyone is in the right place and that everything runs smoothly,” he says.
Hemfrid as an Employer
For Alexander, the best aspects of Hemfrid are the sense of security and the colleagues.
“It’s a large and stable company, and we truly help each other—it feels like a family. When I come to work, it feels like coming home.”
The opportunity to grow, try different roles, and take on responsibilities is also a significant advantage, according to him.
Would he recommend Hemfrid as an employer? Absolutely.
“That’s why I’ve chosen to stay so long,” Alexander concludes.
“The security and the colleagues are invaluable.”
