Australia’s largest cleaning franchise business, Jim’s Cleaning Group is stepping in to offer every Godfreys staff member a free Jim’s Cleaning franchise, after the retailer entered voluntary administration last week.
“Cleaning is one of the biggest industries in our country. At Jim’s Cleaning, we work with hospitals, aged care facilities, corporates, government, schools, as well as providing services to households and we cannot get enough people to do the work,” founder and head, Haydar Hussein said.
“Clearly the staff at Godfreys have a passion for cleaning and we want them to join us. We need more franchisees to respond to the growing amount of work and leads we are receiving across the country. Normally our franchises cost between $25,000 to $35,000, but we want to help the staff at Godfreys and offer them an opportunity to stay in the industry and earn more money.
“We have work ready for them and we can get them set up and started almost immediately. This is the perfect win-win outcome and will enable the staff at Godfreys to secure a new future for themselves.”
According to Hussein, Jim’s Cleaning franchises come with training, a personal mentor and business coach to support them. There will be basic start-up costs for new franchisees including consumables such as uniforms, equipment and chemicals, and the usual operational costs of running a business. Jim’s Cleaning Group provides the leads and support.
“Godfreys staff will already be familiar with our cleaning products, which Godfreys also sells. We can’t keep up with all the cleaning jobs coming to our business, so to have more franchisee businesses on board taking on the growing amount of work would be a great outcome for everyone.”
Hussein is encouraging all Godfreys staff to reach out to his team for more information.
