About Gleam
Gleam started with a simple observation: most sole traders are brilliant at their trade and terrible at paperwork. Not because they're disorganised — but because the tools built for them were designed by people who'd never been up a ladder.
Our mission
There are over 2 million sole traders in the UK working in the service trades — window cleaners, gardeners, cleaners, mechanics, pressure washers. Most of them are running their whole business from a notes app, a WhatsApp thread, and a head full of details they're terrified of forgetting.
We built Gleam because that's a solvable problem. The core loop of every trade job — capture the lead, book it in, do the work, get paid — is the same every time. It just needed an app that understood that, and that could run entirely on a phone in a van.
So that's what we built. Gleam is the job management app we would have wanted if we'd been tradespeople ourselves.
What we stand for
These aren't slogans on a wall. They're the decisions we make when building Gleam.
Every feature earns its place. If a window cleaner can't use it in 10 seconds without reading a manual, it's not done yet.
No bait-and-switch free trials. No feature gates designed to frustrate. The free plan is genuinely useful, and paid tiers are worth every penny.
Every feature is tested on a real job, by a real tradesperson. Not in a lab. On a driveway, in a garden, at the top of a ladder.
Desktop is an afterthought. The phone in your pocket is the primary computer. Every decision we make starts with: does this work on a 5-inch screen in direct sunlight?
Our roadmap is built from real conversations with real users, not assumptions. If something doesn't work for you, tell us — and we'll fix it.
We don't sell your data. We don't mine it for ads. We're a software business and we make money from subscriptions — not from you.
