OUR STORY
From the Caribbean
to Canberra
Founded by Katie and Mark Hale on their return from an assignment in the Caribbean, Spec began as a small, local, cleaning firm. Together they grew the business into a multi-faceted services company delivering not only domestic but commercial, industrial and construction cleaning services to the public sector, private and broader industry.
It is important to Katie and Mark that Spec is an equal opportunity employer who strives to not only balance gender and ethnicity but values the contribution of its team towards becoming the industry employer of choice. It is recognised that ‘people’ are the company’s greatest asset and competitive advantage.
Spec’s growth and training policy is developed around succession planning. Having said this, the company understands that to grow profitably it is sometimes necessary to acquire certain skills from outside. Successful candidates often have a retail or hospitality background – they understand how to lead in a dynamic and busy environment and to deliver great customer service.
