Driven by a desire to provide for himself and his wife, they embarked on a journey to Canada in pursuit of a brighter future. There, Emanuel toiled as a janitor, laying the groundwork for what would eventually evolve into Bad Boy Cleaners. Despite the challenges, he boldly launched the first cleaning enterprise on the island. Over 54 years, his vision burgeoned into Malta’s premier and most enduring cleaning company.

In June 2023, Emanuel bid farewell, leaving behind a legacy that transcends time. He was more than a founder; he was a trailblazer, a luminary, a beacon of leadership, and an exceptional mentor whose spirit continues to inspire us all.
