Claire Blizard - Cheltenham FranchiseeWe are very pleased to announce our first franchise opening in Cheltenham.

Green Mop Cheltenham launches today with Claire Blizard at the helm. Claire used to live in Brighton, and used Green Mop’s cleaning services.

After a spell in Australia, she has returned to her roots where, she believes, the green and ethical values of Green Mop will be embraced by residents and businesses in her home town.

Claire says, “I struggled to find a ‘green’ cleaning service in the area, and thought Green Mop would be great for Cheltenham’s homes and workplaces.”

We thought it was a brilliant idea. And, with Claire’s background in business and her work ethic, I know she’ll make a success of Green Mop Cheltenham.

Being an ethical employer with a fair wage policy, this doesn’t affect us. Cleaning is hard and valuable work, and we pay what the market will bear.

I think all our Green Moppers deserve much more than we can afford to pay them, but we do what we can. Many cleaning companies pay minimum wage and have staff on temporary contracts, avoiding holiday pay and so on.

So they may have lower costs than us, but our staff stay with us longer and perform better as a result of being paid a fair wage. They have holiday pay as well as rewards for good and consistent work.

We think this means our customers getter better value, as well as knowing that they’re using an ethical company which reflects well on their business.
