Despite difficult trading conditions, the market for professional domestic cleaning continues to grow, say industry leaders MOLLY MAID. The domestic cleaning company will be celebrating its 25th anniversary next year and is forecasting that the market will be worth over £3 Billion pounds come Christmas. Even in a downturn house cleaning remains a necessity and the demand for professional help in maintaining the home is increasing, according to Yell online searches alone have increased by 14% month on month. As the leading brand MOLLY MAID have been there to answer this demand which has resulted in an increase in sales of 5% across the network. Just showing how, even in a credit squeeze, industry leaders will still find a way to prosper and MOLLY MAID is no exception.

Pam Bader OBE and CEO of MOLLY MAID UK credited the continuing success of the business to a combination of the hard work from Franchise Owners and their staff, as well as a desire to provide exemplary customer care with the strength of the MOLLY MAID brand. "We are finding that there are more households where both partners are at work to supplement the family income. They've no time to do the cleaning so they are turning to MOLLY MAID because it's a brand they know and trust."
