February marks an important month for Bryony Dalgleish of MOLLY MAID.  It marks her 20 year anniversary with MOLLY MAID as a Franchise Owner in the Farnborough area.  Her success was celebrated in the MOLLY MAID support office where she was presented with a 20 year pin and a bouquet of flowers from Pam Bader OBE, FRSA, Chief Executive of MOLLY MAID UK.

It all started in 1988 after Bryony had decided that she wanted to run her own business.  She needed something at the time that fitted around her family commitments and that she could run from home.  “My children were babies at the time so I needed flexibility in my job to care for them and the MOLLY MAID opportunity provided that.”  She also wanted the support and training that starting with a Franchise company provided. 

Under Bryony’s direction MOLLY MAID in Farnborough has gone from strength to strength, cleaning over 6,000 homes in the area in 2007.  She has eight of the recognisable blue and pink branded cars on the local roads, and employs 18 staff members.  To Bryony being her own boss is a great feeling and face to face contact with her customers is something that is of high importance to her “I still enjoy going out and seeing customers, existing and new.  I feel that it is important that my customers know me because I am the owner of the business and it is me and my staff that they are trusting with their keys.”

Of course Bryony’s success is not just down to her hard work and positive attitude “I couldn’t have done it without the support of my late husband and my children.”  As with starting up any new business, like a local MOLLY MAID, strong family support behind the business owner is fundamental to the success.

The MOLLY MAID service is based on reliable and dependable teams of maids who are trained in the ‘MOLLY MAID way’ of cleaning.  Without great staff and customers 20 years of success would not have been possible so in Bryony’s words “A big thank you to my staff both past, present, and to come.  Not forgetting my customers, some of whom have been with me for over 18 years.” 

When starting up a MOLLY MAID franchise you get thorough training, professional marketing support, plus a business advisor to give on-going support for the life of the franchise - so you’re never out there on your own.

The initial investment for a MOLLY MAID Franchise, is £16,975* for that you receive exclusive rights to the MOLLY MAID brand in your territory.
