Entrepreneur launches Merry Maids cleaning franchise in Kingston
A Kingston entrepreneur has launched a new business venture of a national, domestic cleaning franchise following a 25 year career in the casino industry.
Former Ritz club director Gary Rolfe launched his Merry Maids business after recognising a demand for a reliable, professional and dependable cleaning solution in the Kingston and Greater London area. Looking to utilise his customer service skills in a different industry, Gary chose Merry Maids domestic cleaning service as his next business venture.
Gary said: “I tested out the competition before deciding to invest in Merry Maids and it gave me confidence that this venture will be a success. I’m excited to be employing maids locally and working closely with our customers to deliver an efficient cleaning service working to the highest standards. The team at ServiceMaster have trained me well and now I’m raring to get going.”
Merry Maids is a franchise of ServiceMaster Ltd, which has been operating in the UK for over 55 years. With nearly 70 local Merry Maids businesses in the UK, it is one of the leading domestic cleaning brands in the industry.
Merry Maids brand operations manager, Catriona Berry added: “I have every confidence that Gary and his team will have a fantastic future with Merry Maids.”
