Knowing the superior performance of Nilfisk vacuum cleaners, husband and wife team Andy and Tricia Hawcroft founded The Vacuum Doctor (TVD) in 2000. Andy and Tricia originated from Yorkshire and Lancashire respectively and came to Australia in 1988. After extensive travelling they decided to settle in Perth in 1990 and Andy began working for Nilfisk as the Territory Service Manager until the passion of owning his own business exploded and he took the leap of faith to start The Vacuum Doctor.
Here’s a bio of our dynamic team who make this one the most respected vacuum cleaning businesses in Western Australia:
