 In depth training at the start of the programme set me and my father on a firm foundation. Both the 5 days initial training and the 2 days supervisor training were invaluable in terms of building business knowledge and the confidence to fulfil our vision for the business.

Solicitors and barristers are famous for cleaning up financially – but how many, like Jane and Dornford Roberts, are just as likely to be cleaning up with a mop and bucket? The couple, joint owners of a Betterclean franchise covering a huge area from Dawlish in Devon to Penzance in Cornwall, have just won the most prestigious accolade in the franchising world: a Great British Franchisee Award from whichfranchise.com. Quite how barrister Jane and solicitor Dornford ended up as cleaners has raised eyebrows among their former colleagues in the legal profession, but their £1million-a-year turnover and the 100 staff they employ suggest they made the right decision. That success, and their attitude towards their staff and clients, is what secured them the prestigious award and secured their place among the franchise world’s elite. “The main challenge we faced was moving from the specialist, solution-based, one-case-at- a-time approach required during our legal careers to the multi-la...
