Merry Maids welcomes a new franchise owner!

ServiceMaster are delighted to announce that Richard Brimblecombe has become the latest franchise owner to join the Merry Maids network, where he now operates the Bedford area.

No stranger to running his own business, Richard has previously operated his own multi-office Estate Agency as well as working in Property development where he continues to hold a small rental portfolio.

Richard heard about Merry Maids, a management business opportunity, at a franchise exhibition, when he’d gone to see another franchise company. “I spoke with a number of companies offering franchising and eventually chose Merry Maids,” comments Richard.  “One of the main reasons was due to their dedicated support team who offer expertise in all aspects of running your own franchise business.”

“It gives me great pleasure to employ local quality staff and in doing so, helping my community.  It’s strange to think that three weeks ago I had no knowledge of the business I am now running, and I am now employing staff, marketing my business and visiting people’s homes!”

“I look forward to motivating myself and my staff on a daily basis to offer a quality of service second to none. A major comfort is knowing that I have the knowledge and expertise of an established brand only a phone call away!”

The ServiceMaster Family of Brands provides a number of franchises including van-, home- or office-based opportunities in the domestic and commercial sectors and management franchises.
