Merry Maids Kingston Award

Kingston Merry Maids Celebrating Award

Kingston Merry Maids are celebrating after picking up a prestigious award for their staff members.

Merry Maids of Kingston owner Gary Rolfe picked up the two awards at the national conference for ServiceMaster Limited held in June of this year.

Merry Maids of Kingston covers Kingston Upton Thames, Richmond, Wimbledon, Putney, Wandsworth, Kew, Coombe, Ham and East Sheen and has been operating since 2017.

Along with picking up Rookie of the Year, which celebrates outstanding new franchisees, the business has had notable steady growth throughout the previous 12 months.

Picking up these awards is no easy task, and ServiceMaster does all it can to recognise hard work and dedication from the franchisee.

The aim of the awards is not only to recognise the work that goes into franchising but also to recognise when a business has done something truly outstanding.

The conference was held in Leicester and consisted of networking events, presentations and talks, with the awards finishing the day off.

Managing Director of ServiceMaster Alan Lewin said:

“It was great to see so many of our franchise community and suppliers gathered together to engage in the Summer Summit event. I am always appreciative of the commitment that our franchisees and suppliers make in taking a day out of their business to invest time with peers, colleagues & the franchise support team at ServiceMaster.”

Recognising some of the less obvious, but culturally vital parts of franchising is imperative to ServiceMaster and the Summer Summit conference allowed this to happen.

Awards were given for not only growth, but also to those who have given back to their community, or employees of franchisees who have demonstrated their commitment to the brand attributes by engaging in initiatives and actions with colleagues and customers well beyond their job description, very often in their own time at their own expense.

“I’ve made a conscious effort to continuously hit targets throughout the last 12 months. It’s something that I find motivating and this month I hit £10k 3 months earlier than anticipated so I’m thrilled with that.

“It’s a great achievement to pick up the ‘Best Newbie’ award this year, and the next year will now be spent building on that,” added Gary
