ary and Mike Hoyle have owned and operated their domestic cleaning franchise Merry Maids since 1997. They decided to
set up their own business so that they could work fl exible hours more appropriate for raising their family. In the last 15 years, their business has grown and fl ourished in the Chester and South Wirral area. “Merry Maids was a perfect choice as it allowed us to have so much more control over our lives,” says Mary. “The training and support provided by franchisor ServiceMaster Ltd is excellent and allows us to focus our business on the local area whilst knowing we have the expertise of a large company behind us. Everyone at ServiceMaster is always extremely helpful.” Mary continues: “I work very hard and
I am rewarded by being able to spend time with my family. If we decide to go away, we are lucky enough to have
reliable managers who will look after the business while we are gone.” The benefi ts of owning a Merry Maids franchise are not just apparent to Mary

and Mike, but to their two daughters as well. Their youngest daughter, now a 21-year-old, says: “I’m so glad my parents decided to set up their own business. They were always there for me when I was growing up; I hardly ever remember coming home to an empty house and my family life always felt wholesome.” “As well as knowing that my parents always had time for me, I also got to see how hard work pays off. From the age of six I’ve been able to see their company grow and witness the work that needs to be put in to get results; I have gained a lot of values from their example.” “My parents started working from home, with only two members of staff. Now they have an offi ce in Ellesmere Port
with 14 members of staff; many of whom, along with numerous clients, have been with the business for almost as long as it has operated.” “I am so proud of my parents and am now at an age where I can appreciate that a franchise was defi nitely the right choice for them. I would defi nitely consider doing the same if I have a family in the future.” n
