After years of working in care, a Bedford-based businesswoman is expanding upon her long career in care by opening a home cleaning franchise with Merry Maids UK. 

Mercy Ikeji, who lives and works in Bedfordshire, has recently made great strides towards self-actualisation as a small business owner with the support of the nationwide Merry Maids UK franchise.

Say hello to Merry Maids in Bedford

Wanting to work for herself but not by herself, Mercy bought a business that allows her and the local women she’s worked with over the years to run her company, ‘Dezionite Domiciliary Care’, while delivering a caring and compassionate service to those in the community.

“I have always had a strong entrepreneurial spirit and passion for care,” Mercy says.

“In my youth, I owned multiple businesses, including a cleaning business in my home country, which I started in 2010 and expanded before pursuing MBA studies in the UK.”

“In my years working in cleaning, I always admired the professionalism of the Merry Maids brand, and I eagerly awaited the opportunity to acquire and grow a Merry Maids franchise business.”

About Merry Maids UK

Merry Maids UK is a nationwide domestic cleaning franchise that provides residents across the UK with expert, hassle-free home cleaning and the time to do what matters most to them.

These range from one-off deep cleaning services for end-of-tenancies, builders of home sales, and regular weekly and monthly cleans to help you keep on top of the housework, complete with dusting, hoovering, mopping and window cleaning.

With over 30 years of expertise supporting their local communities with the backing of a multinational brand, Merry Maids UK prides itself on its personalised, caring and compassionate approach to the people it serves.

Mercy’s hopes for Merry Maids Bedford

Mercy brings to her new business a wealth of experience as a trained accountant and business development consultant, with over 13 years of experience launching and expanding businesses.

“My goal is to surpass the success I have achieved with my previous businesses with the Merry Maids franchise in Bedford,” she says.

“I envision a bright future for Merry Maids Bedford, with the potential for exponential growth.

My confidence is bolstered by the strong brand image and the support and training provided by the ServiceMaster franchise.

As such, we aspire to make a positive impact on the cleaning industry and ensure the sustainability of the Merry Maids franchise as we integrate our Dezionite Domiciliary Care services with our new Merry Maids cleaning franchise in Bedford.”

Charity Cleaning Raffle

Informed by her background in care, Mercy would like to commemorate the opening of her new business with a series of charity cleans for those who may be unable to clean their homes for themselves because of illness, circumstance or disability.
