Currently celebrating its thirtieth year, Merry Maids is a leader in the domestic cleaning market and Kathy Goddard is one of their most successful franchisees.

Having started in 1998 with just one cleaner, she now manages a team of 29 and has expanded her original area.

She said: “I did look at other companies but I was won over by the support structure that was in place for the Merry Maids franchise network.

"Having operated my franchise for 11 years, I can manage most things without any problem, but I always have the reassurance that the support is there from the franchisor.

"This is especially important now when times are hard for a lot of consumers, it is great to have someone on hand with advice on how to market the company and attract new customers.”

The Merry Maids franchise network is operated by ServiceMaster Limited.
