Jayne & Paul Gethin, ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services Swansea

11 March 2013

 

With over 50 years franchising experience, a proven business model and unparalleled training, a ServiceMaster Contract Cleaning (Daily office cleaning) franchise offers an exciting business opportunity for any potential entrepreneur.

Jayne and Paul Gethin have been franchise owners of ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services Swansea since 2005.

Jayne comments. “It was the threat of redundancy that prompted my husband Paul and I to look for another source of income.   Paul had been working as an engineer and I worked at Neath Port Talbot Hospital as a clerical supervisor.

“When Paul was made redundant he found alternative employment straight away but we still continued to look for a business opportunity in order to take control of our own destiny.  We looked at franchising because neither of us had run a business before and were encouraged by the level of support.”

“We met with ServiceMaster Ltd, and were impressed.  We made a decision to invest Paul's redundancy money to purchase the licence and that I would take the business forward on a full time basis.  Paul would continue to work and help as much as he could in the business.  It is totally different from what I was used to but I really enjoy the work and every day comes with a different challenge.” 

 “With the support from ServiceMaster, over seven years down the line we now employ 98 staff. The business is doing really well and growing from strength to strength.”

“Would I do it all again?  "Yes" and I would certainly recommend a ServiceMaster franchise to anyone looking for a new business.”
