BACKGROUND Adam Kleen Enterprise (AKE) was initially set up as a convenient shop selling laundry related items by Adam Bollan. Despite having good results in the national-level examination and was even offered a place at a public university, he decided to pursue his ambition of becoming a successful entrepreneur. It all started with a humble beginning of selling detergents and fabric softeners. Soon, it was followed by personalized delivery to the doorsteps of his customers based on the latter schedules. This has certainly created a satisfied and growing number of newer customers and within a year, AKE has doubled the items in the shop to meet higher demands. AKE was a given a breakthrough when it successfully won a tender to provide detergents and softeners for a laundry service contractor of a local government hospital. From here, there was a no turning back for Adam as he steered AKE into other related services such as selling specially packed detergents and fabric softeners, medical disposables, and other relevant rental services. When the Covid- 19 pandemic hit the country, AKE was given another business opportunity of supplying personal protective equipment (PPE) to the hospital employees.
