Established in 1980, Poppies became the UK’s first domestic cleaning service franchise in 1984. Today, the network of franchisees is building their own local businesses, creating over 500 jobs and delivering high-quality cleaning to 6,000+ homes UK wide on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis. Boasting a combined turnover of over £5million, the franchise is headed up by its most successful franchisee, Chris Wootton – a distinct USP for the brand and an ongoing benefit for both his fellow franchisees and the next generation of Poppies business owners.
Celebrating 40 years of success in 2020, Poppies is a brand with a rich heritage and business values based on honesty and integrity. With both single unit and multi-territory operators, Poppies has evolved into a forward-thinking and exciting management-style franchise opportunity with an impressive infrastructure. It has embraced technology to bring the business into the 21st century and has developed business systems to enable franchisees to focus on running their businesses efficiently and profitably. Poppies is more than just a cleaning franchise. It is a relationship franchise, a technology franchise, and a customer service franchise.
Poppies is a strong and established brand in the domestic cleaning market and prides itself on operating in an ethical manner, giving its workforce an environment that is safe, secure, flexible, and rewarding. All cleaners are employed with the same benefits as an employee in any other industry, including paid holidays, sick days, and career advancement. Happy, loyal staff go above and beyond for clients and truly make the Poppies brand shine.
