Merry Maids Cambridge and Ely Opens Its Doors with Years of Cleaning Experience Behind It

/by

A familiar name in professional cleaning is taking its experience into local homes, as Merry Maids Cambridge and Ely officially launches across the area.

At the heart of the new business is owner Malcolm, who is no stranger to the cleaning industry or the communities of Cambridge and Ely.

Malcolm has been involved in ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services, providing commercial cleaning services to businesses across Cambridge, Ely and the surrounding area.

For many years, he has seen first-hand what customers expect from a professional cleaning company. Consistency matters. Trust matters. Attention to detail matters. Most importantly, people want to know that the team looking after their space genuinely care.

Now, Malcolm is taking that experience into people’s homes with the launch of Merry Maids Cambridge and Ely.

“Cleaning has been a huge part of our business for many years, so bringing Merry Maids to Cambridge and Ely felt like a natural next step,” said Malcolm.

“We know what a high-quality clean should look like, but we also understand that cleaning someone’s home is very personal. Customers need to feel comfortable with the people coming through their door.

“We already have an experienced team behind us, and I’m excited to bring everything we’ve learned over the years into residential cleaning and help more people locally.”

A new home cleaning service for Cambridge and Ely

Merry Maids Cambridge and Ely will provide professional domestic cleaning services for households across the local area.

The team can support customers with:

  • Regular domestic cleaning
  • One-off cleaning
  • Deep cleaning
  • Spring cleaning
  • Moving home cleans
  • Additional cleaning support during busy periods

Cleaning can be tailored to suit each household, whether a customer wants ongoing weekly support or simply needs help getting on top of the home.

What can customers expect?

For Malcolm, the launch is about bringing professional standards into the home while keeping the service personal.

Customers can expect trained and experienced cleaners, a reliable cleaning service shaped around their individual priorities.

There is also the reassurance of knowing Merry Maids Cambridge and Ely is backed by an established local cleaning business and the wider Merry Maids UK network.

Vikki, Brand Leader for Merry Maids UK, said:

“We are delighted that customers across Cambridge and Ely will now have access to a trusted local Merry Maids team that understands how important it is to feel comfortable and confident inviting cleaners into your home.

“Malcolm and his team bring valuable cleaning experience, but more importantly, they understand that every customer’s home, routine and priorities are different. Their focus will be on delivering a reliable, high-quality service that makes life easier for local households.

“Whether someone needs regular support, a one-off clean or help during a particularly busy time, Merry Maids Cambridge and Ely is here to give customers more time, more peace of mind and a home they can enjoy.”

For local families, professionals, older residents and anyone who simply wants to spend less of their free time cleaning, the arrival of Merry Maids Cambridge and Ely means there is now another trusted option close to home.

And for Malcolm, it marks the next stage of a cleaning story that started years ago.

Premium Cleaning Business Launches in Aberdeen under established brand and entrepreneur

/by

Merry Maids domestic cleaning business opens in Aberdeen for the first time.

Tired of spending your time cleaning?

The world’s biggest domestic cleaning brand has opened its doors in Aberdeen, bringing premium cleaning services to the area under the ownership of a multi-award-winning entrepreneur.

Merry Maids has been the biggest name in home cleaning for over 30 years, with businesses worldwide dedicated to helping local people spend less time cleaning and more time doing the things they love.

With a branch already established in Inverness, the owners, father-daughter duo Siva and Ayranna Kugathas, have launched a brand-new business in Aberdeen, bringing the same services, smiles and standards to the area.

We sat down with them to delve into their plans for the business.

What Merry Maids can do for you

As experts in domestic cleaning, our teams offer premium cleaning that only comes from a worldwide brand, but is provided by the local people who tailor their services to suit you and who know what it means to live and work in your community.

Whether you need a:

Our team of professional cleaning experts will be on hand to handle the cleaning so you can focus on what matters most to them.

Customer Guarantee

Siva and Ayranna want to assure Merry Maids Aberdeen customers of the high-quality cleaning they can expect from the business and the expertly trained staff.

“ Merry Maids is a trusted brand, has been there for long enough, and we do a very good job. We don’t let people down.”

“The cleaners are well trained, and you know what to expect each time: good quality and consistency,” Ayranna agrees.

Expertise and Experience

Siva has been the owner of ServiceMaster Clean AAA since 2017. One of the largest ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services businesses in the UK, the contract cleaning business covers 19 territories spanning from Inverness to Dover, having grown from just a single territory in Guildford.

Ayranna recently completed a degree in Information Technology for Business, all while working as a Human Resources Manager at ServiceMaster Clean AAA. Here, she has not only overseen HR responsibilities from recruitment, training, and employee relations, but also supported many other areas of the business.

“This has been a huge advantage in preparing me for business ownership. As the HR Manager, I’ve developed strong people management skills, dealt with a variety of staffing challenges, and ensured compliance with employment law and best practice—all of which are crucial for running a successful team.”

Beyond HR, Ayranna has also been involved in many other aspects of the business, such as supporting operational decisions, helping with client relationships, and contributing to strategy discussions. This hands-on experience has given her a real understanding of what makes for great cleaning.

Siva and Ayranna have already been running the established Merry Maids business in Inverness and have now expanded their operation to include Aberdeen, creating jobs in the local area and offering residents the ability to book compassionate, professional, and premium home cleaning services from trusted experts.

Siva, in turn, is excited to bring the same energy and growth that he has instilled across his other businesses.

“ I’m really excited because it’s a new journey for me as well. I’m in my fifties, and I have done a few of these in the past. But this is something new.  I’m really excited to go and do the same again.”

Working in the Community

For Siva, this includes working closely with the local community to support local initiatives and people to thrive.

In the past seven years at ServiceMaster Clean, Siva has worked hard to make a difference and give back to the communities he serves, whether through multiple fundraising initiatives, providing cleaning and sponsorship for the local YMCA in Guildford to allow them to provide stable dwellings for homeless people in the area, or working with a local charity to help vulnerable children learn about the dangers of drugs and knife crime.

The business already has big plans to contribute to Merry Maids and ServiceMaster Clean’s charity of the year, Alzheimer’s Society, by participating in this year’s Forget Me Knot Challenge, which has, over the last two years, raised over £14,000 for Alzheimer’s Society.

Merry Maids Brand Leader Vikki Donnachie says she is ecstatic to welcome Siva and Ayranna to the brand:

“I am very much looking forward to welcoming Siva and Ayranna to the Merry Maids network and building on their existing success within ServiceMaster, which I am certain they will do through their commitment to their community, staff and service standards.”
