From the administrators' statement
Kleeneze Limited was incorporated on 29 April 2006 following the acquisition of the business and certain assets from the European Home Retail group by Findel plc. The Company operated as a multi-level marketing business, which sold and distributed a wide range of household and beauty products through an active network of around 5,000 independent sales distributors. It latterly employed 69 people at its head office in Accrington and a further 71 at its warehouse in Heywood.
In 2015 Findel sold the Company to Trillium Pond AG (a Swiss registered company and subsidiary of CVSL Inc.) whose ultimate parent company is JRjr33 Inc. based in the US.
In February 2017, the business underwent a restructure which included the relocation of the head office staff from its former offices in Clayton-le-Moors to its current registered office at The Globe Centre, Accrington. In addition, the Company's packing and picking operation was transferred from Express Gifts Limited ("EGL’) to a new purpose built warehouse facility in Heywood part funded by GMCA.
