Meet Kate Shuttleworth: the visionary behind Marvellous Maids
Kate Shuttleworth founded Marvellous Maids in Cape Town in 1997 from humble beginnings, broke and living on a farm near Malmesbury, when her daughter’s guest house struggled to find reliable staff.
With no prior experience and admitting she “can’t even make a bed,” Shuttleworth’s genius was in professionalising the domestic industry and fighting worker exploitation.
Under her leadership Marvellous Maids has grown from a single operation to more than 60 franchised sites nationwide. Shuttleworth remains deeply involved, personally overseeing operations and guiding new franchise owners, including the exciting new Vredenburg location serving the West Coast.
