I was a sales person for a company supplying and maintaining plant displays in hotels, banks, offices etc.
I was looking for a change in my career and was aware of the need for reliable domestic cleaners in the area I live; I decided to research various options for starting my own business.
I was attracted to franchising as I had no previous business experience and the franchisors proven system covered all these needs in their training programme. Plus I was looking for the ongoing support that a franchise gives.
After researching some alternative franchises I found I particularly liked Merry Maids due to it having a strong brand name. I also liked the camaraderie which now enables me to share with other franchisees our experiences and knowledge.
The thing I most about working for myself is the independence I have in running my cleaning franchise business.
There are many benefits in running my own business; mainly I have been able to build up my business to the point where I do not have to be working in it everyday. Meeting with other franchisees to share experiences is also invaluable.
ServiceMaster/Merry Maids contribute towards our support or growth; I can call on the specialised, knowledgeable support personnel when required.
My husband and I employ a Manager, Quality Supervisor, Trainer and Maids. The business is run from a unit, which is set up to cater for the growth of our business over the coming years.
I enjoyed running and building up my own Merry Maids franchise so much that I joined ServiceMaster to use my knowledge and experience to support other franchisees.
