"Our commitment is to constantly improve the quality of service we deliver to all our franchisees"
They say the best way to judge the calibre of a company is by meeting the people at the top. In the case of NIC Services Group’s senior management there is a quiet confidence and a deeply held enthusiasm for the world of commercial cleaning that is highly infectious.
When quizzed for the secret of NIC’s success the management team got straight to the point – “Everything needs cleaning!” they said “just think of all the outlets, offices and shops you pass each day. Now consider that each needs regular cleaning and it’s clear to see why the cleaning industry is one of the UK’s largest service sectors, with an annual turnover in excess of £5 billion – and still growing!”
Very few cleaning franchises can boast that as a family owned business they have been in the cleaning industry for almost half a century with the resultant decades of “hands-on” experience enabling them to develop industry-leading systems and procedures. The franchising operation was launched in 1995, at which time NIC’s managerial expertise was redirected to focus on providing in depth, ongoing support for each franchise, to ensure their rapid success.
As the UK’s largest cleaning franchise NIC is extremely fortunate in being able to call on over 150 years combined experience from within its operational team. With all these in house skills it is no surprise that the company has gained ISO 9001:2000 Accreditation.
The Cleaning Market
Think of all the places people work and play: offices, shops, factories, sports halls. Consider the need for daily cleaning. Dirt builds up, and never stops. There is a perpetual need for regular maintenance.
The cleaning industry is one of the largest single industries in the UK, with a spend annually in excess of £5 billion. Cleaning is a demanding people business with many companies today outsourcing their cleaning requirements.
Contract cleaning is firmly established as the most cost effective and efficient way of cleaning buildings, allowing companies to focus on their core business. It is one of the first services to be contracted out. Increasingly customers want a package of services in addition to cleaning such as washroom supplies, portering, and postroom. All of these requirements add up to a huge potential market for the NIC franchisee.
NIC have over 150 years of operational experience in providing quality services at a competitive price and have built a portfolio of blue chip customers. Opportunities exist throughout the UK to succeed in the commercial cleaning business with an NIC franchise.
