2026 WESK Entrepreneurs of the Year Expansion Expert honourees:
Leslie Kent, Jovelyn Macaranas & Staci Loseth

Jovelyn Macaranas Macaranas Cleaning Ltd. – Macaranas Cleaning Ltd. 🧹
Jovelyn started in 2016 and has grown from a handful of contracts to more than 30 contracts and over 30 team members, creating employment opportunities for newcomers while building a culture of safety, respect, and service excellence.
