My work: PurelyCornwall Owner
I’m Mandy the one-woman whirlwind behind Purely Cornwall. Before starting this business, I was a postie, a dog walker, and even a PCSO. One thing you should know about me: I cannot relax until every last crumb, smudge, and rogue cushion is exactly where it belongs. I genuinely enjoy cleaning (I know, it’s weird), and nothing makes me happier than transforming a space from lived in to wow. If you want someone enthusiastic, detail-obsessed, and powered by tea and sheer determination I’m your girl.
