When Diogo Pinheiro moved to Lincolnshire last year, he wasn’t just looking for a new postcode – he was after a fresh start. After more than a decade working as a Senior Data Manager in various industries and criss-crossing the UK’s big cities, he and his family finally found the slower pace they’d been craving in South Holland. “I spent so long behind spreadsheets and screens – but I needed a life where I could actually see the results of my work, get my hands dirty and be outdoors,” said Diogo. Since launching his exterior cleaning business earlier this year, he’s been jet washing driveways, unblocking gutters and making mossy roofs sparkle again – and loving every minute of it.
