Building a Stronger Workforce and Network to Lead in the Taiwan Market
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 17 January 2022 – As the Chinese New Year is around the corner, many families are planning to clean up their home to give space for good luck in the coming year. Toby (previously known as “HelloToby”), a one-stop-shop service platform, announced a new move in the home cleaning service market.
Established in 2016, Toby is a platform connecting individuals looking for personal services and household services to professional service providers, who give quotes on the platform. It introduced a new stream of professional housekeeping services in 2018 which eases the booking of cleaning services for households. Embarking on the year of 2022, Toby is stepping up its efforts to expand its reach in Taiwan and Singapore by concluding a long-term partnership with Jackercleaning, the largest home cleaning service platform in Taiwan. The workforce from the two companies will join forces to provide top-quality service to Taiwanese.
Mr. Jason Zheng(鄭會杰), CEO and Co-founder of Toby remarked, “Toby is flexing its muscles to expand in South-east Asia while Taiwan is considered one of the most vital, strategic markets. We thank Jackercleaning for entrusting us in a long-term collaboration and look forward to seeing the reciprocal support and the combination of strength of both sides that will help us grow stronger and bring more quality and convenient service in Taiwan.”
Both Toby and Jackercleaning have been providing home cleaning solutions catering for different needs of users in Hong Kong and Taiwan respectively. The new partnership will pull together the capacity and resources from the two companies offering more options to customers. As a result, it will on one hand enhance user experience, and on the other hand, create more work opportunities for the cleaners.
Mr. Harvey Lam, CEO of Jackercleaning said “We’re optimistic about the outlook of the group as the partnership between Jackercleaning and Toby launches. We are happy to work with the Toby team and believe that the partnership will not only allow our customers to enjoy better services, but also create synergy of the membership and traffic. Moreover, our team will be able to take the opportunity to get involved in a venture of larger scale and to work with a remarkable team outside Taiwan. We envisage a win-win-win scenario for customers, the two companies and their staff.”
Toby and JackerCleaning will be working together on more initiatives to lead the home cleaning market in Taiwan.
