From Merry Maids with love

/by

Our business owners share the love this Valentine’s Day.

Happy Valentine’s Day from Merry Maids UK!

It’s a day for sharing the love, whether with your significant other, your friends and family, or just indulging in your passions.

At Merry Maids UK, we love cleaning. It’s what we do. But we know it’s not for everyone. That’s why we do it for you!

Through our regular or one-off cleans, we give you the time to focus on the things you love, not the cleaning.

And in the spirit of focusing on the things you love, we’ve been speaking to some of the cleaning experts who own and operate Merry Maids businesses up and down the country about what they love about Merry Maids.

What our business owners love about Merry Maids

Merry Maids of Croydon

Debbie Walker, the owner of Merry Maids of Croydon, loves that her business is people-oriented. This means that she gets to work with people all day long and in ever-changing dynamics.

She says she takes great pride in building positive relationships with staff and customers.

From celebrating life events with staff like birthdays and anniversaries to developing a rapport with clients and providing care and support to vulnerable clients with dementia and other illnesses, people are at the heart of what we do.

Through providing bespoke and top-quality services and through local initiatives like a Food Drive for a local charity, Debbie has formed a business with a heart that supports her staff and those in need and shares in the day-to-day: what life is all about.

Lynne, the Office Administrator at Merry Maids of Croydon, adds that she loves everything about Merry Maids and that it would be hard to single any particular thing out.

But she notes she loves the variety that Merry Maids brings to her routine and being amongst the company of the team’s friendly staff.

Merry Maids Fylde and Blackpool:

Having spent 30 years building a thriving cleaning business, Nicola Morris from Merry Maids Fylde and Blackpool seconds this, saying she loves working as part of a network of like-minded business owners across the UK who support one another in running their businesses.

“What I love about the Merry Maids brand is working together with a fabulous group of fellow Merry Maids owners all helping each other!”

Merry Maids Dudley, Wolverhampton and Stafford:

Tom Jackson from Merry Maids Dudley and Wolverhampton and Stafford agrees, saying what he loves about his Merry Maids business is the support from our network:

“The best thing about being a franchisee is the support and teamwork you get from the other people in your network.

Whether it’s solving a problem or just ‘how’s your business getting on?’ there is always another franchisee at the other end of the phone or WhatsApp.

Borrowing ideas from Bill in Inverness or asking Nicky in Blackpool what she is doing about a particular issue is invaluable.”

Merry Maids Sutton Coldfield:

Becky Hewitt, owner of Merry Maids Sutton Coldfield says what she loves about Merry Maids is the people, whether customers or staff.

“What I love about Merry Maids of Sutton Coldfield on Valentines day and every day, is my team.

Merry Maids of Sutton Coldfield has 5 * reviews from both loyal and one off customers because of the maids hard work and tireless, consistent efforts.

This paired with loyal, appreciative customers makes coming to work every day enjoyable.”

Merry Maids raise £10,000 for Alzheimer’s Society!

/by

Merry Maids UK has raised £10,000 for its Charity of the Year, Alzheimer’s Society.

This year, Merry Maids UK staff have attended workshops hosted by Alzheimer’s Society to learn more about dementia.

Last year we raised £4,000 for Alzheimer’s Society through the Forget Me Knot Challenge..

This year, Merry Maids staff nationwide participated in our second annual Forget Me Knot Challenge, alongside multiple other fundraising activities supported by our customers to help raise a huge amount of money for Alzheimer’s Society.

As part of our fundraising efforts staff walked, ran and cycled 8,715 miles – which is the distance from the UK to Papua New Guinea.

What our support means

We recently had the pleasure of presenting Meg Foxall, a Regional Fundraiser for Alzheimer’s Society, with a cheque for the money raised at our head office in Leicester.

Megan said:

“We are so grateful that Merry Maids chose Alzheimer’s Society as their Charity of the Year. Each hour people generously give to fundraise for us, every event they take part in, every pound they donate, they’re making a life-changing difference to people living with dementia. 

“Alzheimer’s Society provides vital support to people living with dementia, funds groundbreaking research and campaigns to make dementia the priority it should be. Together, we will end the devastation caused by dementia.

“There are currently around a million people in the UK with dementia. But we simply can’t reach everyone without the continued support of our incredible fundraisers like Merry Maids.”

At Merry Maids, we’re proud to be cleaners who care, alongside fundraising for Alzheimer’s Society who help provide help and hope for those living with dementia.
