Among the award winners was Worcestershire businessman Darren Varney, who was named 'New Franchisee of the Year'. Commenting on his achievement, Darren says: 'I am really proud to have won this award so soon after starting my Safeclean business. I think it shows the strength of the company's support network in helping up and coming businessmen like myself to succeed.'

The 'Lifetime Achievement' award was presented to Geraint Williams from Chelmsford, who has owned a Safeclean franchise for over 20 years. 'I'm really proud to have won this award,' admits Geraint. 'It means so much to be recognised by your peers and I hope that I can continue to provide a great cleaning service to the people of the Chelmsford area.'

A Cornish family are celebrating after the success of their Safeclean franchise has seen them win national 'Franchisee of the Year'. Terry Keith, who has been part of the Safeclean network for 14 years, joined forces with his daughter and her partner last April, passing on his experience and expertise with what has proved to be a winning formula.
