I am the co-founder and CEO of Fantastic Services - one of London's top domestic services providers. Our fantastic family unites eight of the most recognisable property maintenance brands like Fantastic Cleaners, Fantastic Gardeners, Fantastic Handyman, Fantastic Removals and Fantastic Pet Care.

A Bit More About Me:

Having grown up in Copenhagen, I attended both Ingrid Jespersens Gymnasie skole and Oestre Borgerdyd. Thanks to the influence of my father (an IBM programmer), I developed an interest in programming and business technology at an early age. Actually, I wrote my first stock management program when I was ten years old.

I worked as a systems architect at British Telecom while I was a graduate student at the Copenhagen Business School. Back then, I was greatly influenced by William Gibson's novel - Virtual Light.

After I finished my service at the Royal Danish Navy, I became incredibly infatuated with the culinary arts. So much, I worked for several Michelin Star restaurants. Sadly, my career in the culinary industry was short-lived due to an allergy I developed.

After that, I dived in the world of entrepreneurship. In 2009, I met my business partner Anton and we discovered we shared a vision. That's how Fantastic Services was first created. Although it was a far cry from the big multi-service company you see today, our passion to provide services people love - kept us going - even when we had only one phone to share and one laptop.. Things weren't always easy in the first few years, but fantastic services remains strong and growing.
