Window Cleaners

Imagine my suprise on Saturday night when my wife and I turned on the Variety Clud telethon and saw a stage full of men in kilts. Well it turns out they work for an Outfit called MenInKilts, a window and gutter cleaning company in Richmond, B.C. Here is there website. http://www.meninkilts.net/

I had never heard of these guys before, nor have I seen their tartan trucks driving around. I am sure I will now though.

I wonder how many women will be hiring the MenInKilts to clean those gutters and high up windows now

Colin,

Just be sure that you are Kilted (as if you wouldn't) when you run into them and give them a thumbs up!

More and more companies it seems are going Kilted.

Putting your workers in kilts is a great marketing move. Kilts are outside the norm so people will remember the company. Anything to make a company stand out is good marketing, as when people are selecting a company they tend to pick the one they remember.
