👕✨ Meet Paddy – the man behind Paddy’s Pick Up! ✨👕

He runs his own laundry service 🧺 – collecting, washing, drying, folding, and delivering fresh clothes 🚐. We’re so proud of the independence, hard work, and determination Paddy shows as a young entrepreneur. 🌟

Be honest… do you fold your clothes straight away, or leave them for “later”? 😉
