Domestic cleaning and home care franchise business Bright & Beautiful is welcoming on board four new business owners this month.

The new franchisees, pictured here are (L-R): Claire Holland, formerly a solicitor, who will be running the Central Manchester franchise; Marie Mariegaard who was previously a police woman and will now be running the Guildford franchise; Rachel Ray, Bright & Beautiful MD; Ceri Evans, a former model and garden designer, who will be running the Cranleigh; Julie Dunne, who previously worked for 20 years in the construction industry and is taking on the Enfield franchise

Rachel Ray MD of Bright & Beautiful says: “We’re really pleased to be welcoming four great businesswomen to our team this month, all of whom have had diverse and demanding careers and have taken the decision to become their own boss. Starting up a Bright & Beautiful franchise has always been hugely appealing to women who want to escape the 9 to 5 and run their own professionally managed and fully supported business. The fact that they can earn a good salary running a Bright & Beautiful franchise, can manage their own team of professional housekeepers and be there for their family after school is really one of the great secrets to our success.”

Bright & Beautiful is an award-winning business model that was founded by entrepreneur Rachel Ray in 2007.  A busy working mum herself, Rachel spotted a gap in the market for a domestic cleaning company that provided full fair employment rights for its team, non-toxic cleaning products and an exceptional housekeeping service for its clients. Since then the business has grown from strength to strength with franchisees around the UK employing carefully vetted professional housekeepers and servicing thousands of clients.
