Tim O’Connor and Patricia Duffy tell of their fantastic franchising experiences with Cleaning Doctor

 “I could go on all day about how great Cleaning Doctor is.”

“While I was looking for new business opportunities after deciding that I didn’t want to work in a factory any more, I met William Little. External cleaning was a business I was interested in and I knew straight away that I wanted to be part of Cleaning Doctor’s success. I was highly impressed not only by the state-of-the-art cleaning equipment, but also by William’s down to earth yet very professional approach. 

“On my journey home, one thing stuck in my mind – William said to me when I was leaving the company’s head office: ‘Don’t waste my time or your time and money if you are not prepared to put in the work to make this business work for you and me.’ 

“I knew then that William takes great pride in the Cleaning Doctor name, and is not just interested in selling a business to a man who could give the Cleaning Doctor brand a bad name.”

“Five years later and I am delighted to be part of the Cleaning Doctor franchise – I am self employed and out making money every day. 

“With the Cleaning Doctor logo and details of the services I can provide, my van is the best advertising tool I have. When I am driving, I’m advertising; when my van is parked, I’m advertising!

“I could go on all day about how great Cleaning Doctor is, but nothing proves it better than the repeat business and new customers which I get year in, year out. This is all down to my knowledge of cleaning, which has been passed onto me by William from the decades of experience he has accumulated since he established Cleaning Doctor in 1985.”

“I really enjoy owning my Cleaning Doctor business.”

“I launched my home cleaning services franchise in September 2008, and in my first year of trading, I achieved a turnover of £50,000. I’m currently looking forward to expanding my business and want to have moreteams on the road.

“There is a lot of potential for my Cleaning Doctor business. I’m busy providing regular cleaning, spring cleaning and deep cleaning services. I give timestrapped homeowners a chance to escape from their weeklycleaning chores, and allow them to regain some control of their precious free time. Clients really value and love the service.

“Before launching my franchise I worked as an Accommodation Manager in a local hotel. I had wanted to do something different for a while when I came across an advert for the Cleaning Doctor franchise. I was impressed by the company, so I decided to invest. As well as receiving intensive training, which covered every aspect of the cleaning and day-to-day running of the business, I have also had fantastic support from head office.

“Although running my business is demanding, I really enjoy owning my Cleaning Doctor business and I like the satisfaction I get from seeing clients very pleased with the work we do. Satisfied clients are happy to pay very well indeed.

“I am certain that any new franchise owner that follows the plan would be just assuccessful. Follow the step-by-step manuals and you can’t go wrong.”
