A CLEANING company franchisee from Chester has been recognised for growing her business by more than a third.

Louise Bain, who runs Molly Maid Chester, was runner-up in the 2017 sales growth category in the awards at the company’s national convention.

The glitzy three-day event was held at Rookery Hall Hotel in Nantwich.

Louise was praised for growing her business by 36 per cent as well as adding two additional routes since taking over.

Since taking over the franchise, she has thrown herself into marketing and promotion and ensuring her teams are providing customers with a high standard of service and quality customer care.

Louise said: “I am so pleased to be part of such a large national brand. My journey with Molly Maid to become a successful franchise owner is testament to my belief in the outstanding reputation of the brand.

“At Molly Maid Chester, I strive to follow this through and to provide a reliable, high quality service to our customers and it is thanks to their loyalty and that of my staff that I continue to be a success.”
