Managing Director, Minster Cleaning


Q Has the pandemic tested the claim that franchising is


‘recession-proof’?


u Commercial cleaning is a durable sector and although revenues understandably dipped in the first lockdown they bounced back to near their previous levels by the end of 2020 but have dipped again across Quarter 1 of this year. We are confident business will come back to exceed pre-pandemic levels during Quarter 2 assuming the country avoids further lockdown situations. Cleaning has never been more


important and Minster’s expertise in infection control has proved to be a valuable asset, particularly in GP surgeries and other medical


environments we work in. For many of our clients we’ve upped


the volume of cleaning, including regular deep cleans and the cleaning of touchpoints such as light switches throughout the day. 
