Voice of SMEs - Recommend Group

There’s been a huge emphasis on hygiene and sanitization lately thanks to COVID-19, with lots of employers sanitizing their workspaces and people keeping their homes cleaner than ever before in hopes of warding off the virus. Jes Min - she’s the CEO and Co-founder of the Recommend Group, has dealt with these areas of expertise for a very long time. Recommend is a platform that helps customers look for home-related services like home maintenance, sanitization, aircon cleaning, as well as interior design. They basically connect customers to the few thousand service providers in Malaysia who are on their app. Jes Min speaks on what business has been like for the past few weeks.
