Cleaning Doctor and The Clean Team give awards

The trophies were picked up by Cleaning Doctor franchisees Stuart Hamer (Isle of Man) - fastest growing franchisee; Richard Merron (Belfast) - longest serving franchisee; Shane Russell (Cork) - first franchisee to run two territories; and Nigel Lay (Northampton) - most certificated franchisee; and The Clean Team franchisee Sharon Taylor (York) - fastest growing franchisee.

The awards were presented by FDS Southern Franchise Consultant Gordon Patterson and founder William Little (pictured). Gordon said: 'When working with Willie Little and the Cleaning Doctor management team in preparation for their franchise launch, it was quite clear that Willie wanted to do everything thoroughly and professionally to ensure that the franchise offering was fair and the ongoing support more than adequate. The Cleaning Doctor head office team has achieved a national presence in Ireland and a very meaningful initial network in Great Britain, and now deserve to become a household name throughout the whole of the UK.'
