Personal Profile
Neil Evers was born in Collaroy NSW and raised in Mona Vale and went to Mona Vale Public School which only had 52 students at that time. Neil went to Balgowlah Boys High, the only High School on the Northern Peninsula. When Neil left school he became a butcher, however, did not realise how this profession would influence the work that he does now. Learning how the bones and the joints are connected then became a passion yet to be fulfilled.
After many successful years, Neil left butchering for a completely different job; driving a front-end loader. This job did not satisfy his needs, so Neil entered the corporate world and started selling office stationary (a tie, no sun shine but a good job). In 1977 Neil was offered the cleaning contract on 6 blocks of home unit and started his own cleaning business, Mona Vale Cleaning. The business went from success to success to a point where Neil had sixteen people working in the business and the cleaning run that went from Ryde to Manly and out along Palm Beach, taking in private homes, lawn mowing, gardening, and window cleaning.
Mona Vale Cleaning featured on the TV program ‘The Money Show’ as a successful business run from home. In 1982 Neil, and wife Sue, bought a house in Newport where Peninsula Massage is run from today. As the massage business grew the cleaning business was sold off and now only provides a service for long-term clients clean; some of them clients for 18 years.
Neil shares his life with wife Sue and has 4 sons, a stepson and 9 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.
