Building a future with the UK's Leading Domestic Cleaning Company

MOLLY MAID is proud to be recognised as the leading brand in domestic cleaning in a £2 billion plus market with almost infinite possibilities for growth.

Since MOLLY MAID started in 1979 it has provided its cleaning services to hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers in Canada, USA, Portugal and Japan as well as the UK. This year alone over 400 MOLLY MAID franchises will perform in excess of 2 million home cleans worldwide.

Demand for the service has never been greater that's why we now have opportunities for people orientated individuals who have a capacity for hard work, who want to build a successful business of their own, in a reliable industry backed by a brand name known and trusted all over the UK.

Today more and more women work outside the home and time is becoming a precious commodity. So too the dual income phenomenon is taking hold and there is a growing social acceptance to have someone else clean your home.

Says Imelda Courtney MOLLY MAID Franchise Owner since 1998 "What attracted me to MOLLY MAID was the amazing potential for growth. It is a very attractive proposition, built on very strong foundations and an easily recognisable brand."

A Franchise You Can Manage

The MOLLY MAID service provides high quality reliable domestic cleaning operated by Franchise Owners who manage teams of maids within an exclusive area. Although some sales and management experience is an advantage, our franchise partners come from all walks of life. The qualities we look for are human attributes such as common sense, ability to get on with people and a willingness to work hard. What our franchise partners have in common is the desire to follow our system and to succeed.

MOLLY MAID focuses purely on providing a professional domestic cleaning service and is a household name so there is no hard sell involved.

"The MOLLY MAID management franchise fitted my criteria. I liked the brand and the image of the MOLLY MAID cars, and when I visited the company they came across as being very professional and, equally important, very trustworthy" says Derek Ward, MOLLY MAID Franchise Owner, York & Harrogate
