Cleaning Clinic

I am utterly and completely disgusted with a staff member of Cleaning Clinic. The brand we all know, since many years ago, with their professional staff, Directors and business minded approach seems to have changed. I was approached by one of their staff members about 2 weeks ago who introduced himself as Leon. I met the gentleman, gave him, the keys and cashbook as requested. Not sure if he knew at the time, but I have 4 active stores at present, and another one opening mid December 22. I informed him about the spar opening soon and it might be a good idea to go see them. Unknowingly that I am the owner of all the stores, he replies and said " I was there before, but that owner Is full of ****, and money hungry just as my partner. Confused I asked him what does he mean by partner? He said that he has recently bought into the company Cleaning Clinic and now runs 40% of it, and is now also in charge of all day to day activities, expenses, schedules, etc. Nothing goes past him without going through him, as per his words. I was curious about the Directors, as I have met them a couple of times, and never mention anything to me about selling of the company. So when I enquired this, I was told that the Directors son, has moved on to new online ventures, and have lost interested in the old ways of cleaning clinic, and thats why he was appointed the new Director. What tickled my mind with this "weird " and " unprofessional" conversation, is that It seemed that he was trying to sell himself off as untouchable, irreplaceable and a know it all type of character. The way he talked to me, and trying to sell himself was unprofessional, and unethical. I have met The Thorpe family many times, but I doubt that this young man has any idea, of this. I am really, for his sake, ashamed, and disgusted with what I had to hear and witness. At this point im thinking of cancelling my agreement with them at all my stores, because honestly, I do not have time for such unprofessional behaviour and representation. Like I said, I have been with the Cleaning Clinic for many years now, but I think after this "propaganda" that our time to do business has come to an end.
