Helpful Handyman Network CIC
Helpful Handyman Network was founded in 2015 by former local authority housing officer Janet Pearce. Having seen the deteriorating conditions in which many elderly residents lived — small jobs left undone because they couldn't afford or find help — Janet established the CIC to fill the gap.
