Nearly 440,000 people in Britain make money with direct selling - and some like former shipyard worker Gavin Scott are cleaning up £100,000 a year.

People from all walks of life can rake in a fortune from home with direct selling, which is worth £913million in the UK.

Go-getting Gavin Scott now has a multi-million pound business selling household products.

He rakes in thousands, runs cars including a £12,000 Porsche and has 2,000 working for him.
Yet two and a half years ago he was working in the Swan Hunter shipyard earning just £9,000 a year.

Gavin, 34, says: "I'd been there since I left school at 16. My father has worked in the shipyard and his father before him. I'd been there 16 years and wanted a change.

Then I stumbled across network marketing and fell into Kleeneze."

It cost Gavin just £40 to join up. Now he's one of the company's top salesmen and last year won it's Distributor Of The Year title.

Kleeneze works on a team basis. Gavin started out pushing catalogues through letterboxes and ended up heading a team of distributors up and down Britain.
The company sells household goods from gadgets to washing up powder.

Gavin says: "Our best-selling gadget is our orthopedic toe-nail clipper. And our best selling consumable product is Astonish Paste, which is a kitchen cleaner."

These days bachelor Gavin, who lives in a posh flat overlooking the sea at Tynemouth, near Newcastle, only works about 18 hours a week.

He says: "I now earn nearly as much a month as I did in a year in the shipyard. I used to be quite shy and very frightened of public speaking/ I turned down being best man about five times but everybody says I am a natural speaker and seem to motivate people, but I've never been trained for it."

It's not just the cash rewards that make working for Kleeneze attractive.

Gavin has just returned from an eight day, all expenses paid trip to Bali along with 140 other top sales people. Last year he went to Hong Kong and next year he hopes to go to St. Lucia.

He says: "I'd recommend the business to anyone."
