ServiceMaster Clean Dorset and Wessex win Franchisee of the Year Award
Congratulations to the owners of ServiceMaster Clean Dorset and Wessex for winning the award for Franchisee of the Year at this year’s ServiceMaster Live event.
ServiceMaster Live, which took place this May, is an annual gathering of franchisees from across the ServiceMaster UK brand family, including ServiceMaster Clean. The event saw franchisees and their teams recognised for their hard work in overall customer service, sales, marketing efforts, resilience in the face of hardships, charity and community work and more, in an awards ceremony at the close of the day.
This included Robbie and Sharon Taylor of ServiceMaster Clean Dorset and Wessex who took home the coveted Franchisee of the Year Award. Quite possibly the most highly sought-after award of the day, Franchisee of the Year is awarded to the franchisee (or in this case, franchisees) who are proven to go truly embody the ServiceMaster ethos of “Going Above and Beyond” for all of their customers to provide a truly excellent service, all whilst immersing themselves in what it means to grow a successful franchise business.
Robbie and Sharon joined the ServiceMaster family over 30 years ago and have been committed to providing their trademark quality service ever since. The cleaning industry is constantly changing, as evidenced by the sudden and stark focus that the COVID-19 pandemic shone on the importance of cleanliness and hygiene, not only is it more important than ever, but workers within the cleaning industry have to be adaptable. This means being able to roll with whatever, comes their way, and most vitally of all, embrace change. Part of the reason for Robbie and Sharon’s stellar track record of cleaning excellence is because they are constantly doing all they can to innovate and to make the quality of service better for both their customers and other members of our network.
As Sophie Orme, Brand Manager for ServiceMaster Clean Residential will tell you, “[Robbie and Sharon’s] passion for the business is outstanding, not only in their dedication to growth but their focus on being a great company to work for. Having a fantastic working relationship together and employees, their enjoyment in sharing their business journey with their staff is clear to see. Owning the business is much more than a corporate entity to them. They have embraced new technology in the business, seeing the opportunity to grow their business through this.
Their investment in the brand doesn’t just stop at a local level, Sharon invests further time working with the Go for Growth group and attends all meetings. Working closely with SML she has helped develop new marketing activities, volunteered to trial innovative technology and offer her ideas and input wherever she can.”
Sharon says that they are “Surprised, but super proud,” to win Franchisee of the Year. “It was totally unexpected, she says. “After 30 years with ServiceMaster, Robbie is still as committed to the brand and ‘doing a good job’ as ever.”
They also attribute their continued success to having “A good team first and foremost. No matter what the job, whether it’s a small stain removal or a high-end clean, they all get the same 1st class service. As reflected in our 5-star Google reviews and repeat clients.”
Sharon says the award has only galvanised them to continue upping the quality of their services by “Updating equipment, continuing product knowledge, training and continuing to embrace an ever-changing working environment.”
