Rick Jefferson, Betterclean Services franchisee since 2020, operating across the York, Harrogate, and Leeds areas, has won a whichfranchise Great British Franchisee Award.
The awards, now in their 5th year, celebrate business success and reflect the winners’ achievements in stability, growth, staff retention, customer satisfaction, community involvement, inspired leadership and their involvement in the franchise network.
Rick began his journey by purchasing a resale business with a turnover of approximately £650,000. In just five years, Rick has achieved outstanding growth, taking his business to an impressive £3 million in annual turnover.
The judges said that Rick exemplifies what it means to be a driven, committed, and collaborative franchisee. His business acumen, dedication to excellence, and team-first mindset make him a truly deserving candidate for this recognition.
“It’s a great feeling to be recognised for our achievements over the last few years. Running a business often feels like two steps forward one step back, but awards like these are fantastic milestones in that journey and a chance to reflect on how far we’ve come,” said Rick.
“I’m delighted to have a supportive Franchisor, a fantastic management team supporting me, and also have to thank each and every colleague out in the field who is delivering great results for our customers.”
Mike, Bettercleans Franchise Recruitment Director commented, “We are delighted to see another of our franchise owners winning a Great British Franchisee award! Rick is a truly deserving recipient, demonstrating outstanding dedication in growing his business while also serving as a strong ambassador for the Betterclean brand.
