FRANCHISEFOCUS INVESTMENT: FROM £21,000
Celebrating four decades The UK’s first cleaning franchise turns 40
O
n 1 April, Poppies cleaning franchise celebrated its 40th anniversary. Launched in 1980, its
first franchised office – Poppies Durham – opened in 1984 and is still going strong! Today, the Poppies network enjoys annual turnovers ranging from £250,000 to over £550,000. Under the guidance of long-term franchisee turned franchisor, Chris Wootton, who took over in 2018, the brand has evolved into a forward-thinking, industry-leading business opportunity. With a combined turnover of £5.2millon, 22 territories employ close to 500 staff in fulfilling, well-rewarded jobs and provide cleaning services to over 6,000 homes every month. An attractive prospect for anyone looking for a rewarding and profitable opportunity. “The cleaning industry continues to
thrive through thick and thin,” explains Chris, who launched his own Poppies franchise in 1996 and brings 24 years’
experience to his role as franchisor. “Our clients include seniors, dual-
income families and Generation Y and we bring distinct but equally valuable services to each. According to the British Cleaning Council, demand for domestic cleaning has increased by 25 per cent in the last five years so it’s little surprise that, when looking for an industry in which to start a business, the proven security and continued growth of the domestic cleaning market is a real draw.” With the opportunity to launch
from home, franchisees can take advantage of Poppies’ low investment, low overhead model to build a strong foundation for their business. Determined to help franchisees achieve their own versions of success, Poppies welcomes lifestyle and single unit owners as well as offering super-charged systems and support for those looking to build multi- unit ‘empire’ operations.
