Minster Cleaning’s annual awards took place at the stunning Moor Hall Hotel & Spa in Sutton Coldfield. It was the perfect venue to update the network about new initiatives and best practice, but more importantly, celebrate the franchisees’ outstanding achievements and milestones.<\/p>\n

Alan Haigh, Owner and Mike Parker, Managing Director presented the awards.\u00a0 Mike comments, \u201cWe are thrilled to once again award our franchisees for their hard-work and determination throughout 2019. We have a very strong network and our franchisees are excellent people-managers, which is key to a management franchise like ours.\u201d<\/p>\n

Across the Minster network,\u00a0half of the branches are each achieving sales of more than \u00a31 million<\/strong>, and\u00a0top franchises are each\u00a0achieving sales in excess of \u00a32\u00a0million<\/strong>. The annual turnover for the group is now over \u00a340million.<\/p>\n

Office cleaning is an essential service based on repeat custom and Minster has a diverse customer base with many contracts. This gives protection from the peaks and troughs experienced by so many businesses, and Minster’s large territories give enormous potential for expansion. \u00a0By following Minster’s proven business model, which has stood the test of time for 38 years, all franchisees have the opportunity to create a large and valuable business.<\/p>\n

On average, franchisees have been with Minster for 14 years and some longer- serving franchisees are planning to retire in the next few years. There are currently resales available in Devon and Cornwall and Nottingham.<\/p>\n

New franchise opportunities include Buckinghamshire, Cambridge, Doncaster, Durham, Guildford, Leicester, London, Middlesex, Peterborough and Swansea. \u00a0Initial start-up cost is \u00a328,225 + VAT which covers licence, training, computer hardware, stationery and a \u00a35,000 marketing launch package. In addition, between \u00a340,000 and \u00a360,000 working capital will be needed – finance is available from leading banks subject to status.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
