With over 10 years' business success and a client base that stretches to thousands of satisfied repeat customers, Myhome is widely recognised as a proven leader within the marketplace and is one of the UK's leading residential cleaning businesses. The growth has been driven by the dramatic increase in two-salary households and today's culture of cash-rich, time-poor individuals outsourcing their domestic chores to professional organisations such as Myhome.

The last things our clients want to deal with when they're at home are mundane, time consuming household tasks. They don't have the time or inclination to carry out these chores and this has contributed to the skyrocketing demand for our professional premier cleaning services.

Our clients are now finding that Myhome's services are no longer a luxury, but a necessity. Demand for these services has quadrupled over the past 10 years and, as figures are predicted to double over the next three years, the future looks very bright for potential Myhome franchisees.

Myhome takes great care in choosing the right franchise partners and looks for enthusiastic, ambitious people who are capable of managing a business, rather than actually providing the service themselves. Myhome franchisees are highly talented, motivated, business-minded individuals with proven track records in their previous careers and they have a real drive to achieve.

Successful franchisees will come from a variety of backgrounds, where they have developed good relationship building skills as well as having an understanding of business and a strong desire to establish and develop their own operation. The franchisees focus on ensuring current clients are receiving the best service available and carrying out marketing to attract new ones. They will be comfortable working with an employed team of operators and happy to respond to the leads generated and discuss quotations with prospective new clients.

Anyone with this background should seriously consider joining the fast growing, successful team of Myhome franchisees, who run their own highly successful businesses backed by a trusted and respected PLC. Myhome's business format was initially created with a pilot operation, developed and tested by Unilever, which remains a shareholder in the company to this day. This operation has been perfected over the last 10 years and Myhome has established all the necessary systems for every aspect of managing the business.

The result is a turnkey operating system and franchise model that virtually guarantees Myhome franchisees success. Myhome provides one of the most thorough induction programmes in the UK franchise industry and offers ongoing training, support and advice every step of the way to ensure the franchise has every opportunity to succeed. The training programme assumes nothing, starts right at the beginning and teaches you everything you need to know about running a small business.

If you would like more information, come and visit Myhome on stand no. E140 at the forthcoming National Franchise Exhibition, in Birmingham, where the Myhome franchise development and support team will be available throughout the exhibition.

Myhome is delighted to announce the appointment of Derrick Simpson as Group Franchise Director.

"Myhome has an established and vibrant operation which offers great expansion opportunities."

Derrick Simpson was formerly Director of Franchise Development at Adare ODC that operates the leading franchise brands Kall Kwik and Prontaprint. There he played a major part in the growth and development of the company with a specific focus on recruitment.

He joins the Myhome Group in a move that will drive forward the expansion of this dynamic and flourishing business that currently has 32 franchise partners and plans for extensive growth. In addition to developing the Myhome brand, Derrick will be responsible for the marketing and recruitment of new franchisees as well as managing the relationships with both new and existing franchisors within the Myhome Group.

A passionate supporter of franchising and a regular contributor to the British Franchise Association and franchising seminars, Derrick sees his move to Myhome as a fresh and exciting opportunity. He tells us: "Myhome has an established and vibrant operation which offers great expansion opportunities. With tried and tested systems and a talented focussed team Myhome represents a fantastic franchise opportunity.

"The domestic services industry is one of the UK's fastest growing market sectors and there is huge potential for growth, which is great news for Myhome and our franchisees both current and future. I'm looking forward to making a significant contribution to the ongoing success of not only the Myhome brand but also the growth of the Myhome Group as a multiple franchisor and the first choice provider of domestic services."

Talking about the new appointment, Myhome Plc CEO Russell O'Connell says: "Derrick brings over 17 years of invaluable experience as a franchise professional to the company. We are looking to grow our business substantially over the next five years and believe that Derrick will be instrumental in helping us achieve our goals. We're delighted that such a well respected and knowledgeable figure within the franchise community has joined the Myhome team."
