Merry Maids is celebrating national recognition after securing position 72 in the 2026 Elite Franchise Top 100. The ranking reflects steady growth, strong leadership, and consistent support for its franchise network.

Now in its ninth year, the Elite Franchise Top 100, sponsored by HSBC UK, reviews franchises across the country against clear criteria. These include growth, innovation, franchisee satisfaction, and work within local communities. The 2026 results show the strength of UK franchising in a period marked by tighter budgets and operational pressures. The top 100 brands have shown they can adapt and progress in shifting conditions.

Anita Roberts, franchise director at HSBC UK, said the strong entries show how determined UK franchising remains, noting the clear ability of leading brands to adapt when conditions become more challenging.

For Merry Maids, the ranking marks years of consistent progress. The brand has grown its national reach, strengthened its systems, and supported entrepreneurs with a clear route into a high demand sector. Expected revenue of £5.8 million pounds this year shows the stability of the model.

Merry Maids provides specialist training, dementia awareness support, and structured operational guidance to help new owners build capable teams. It’s technology, including the Brand Management System, mobile app, and e commerce platform, keeps daily tasks simple and supports steady cash flow. Customers can book ahead and teams receive updates in real time, which improves planning and lone worker safety.

Local engagement remains a key part of the brand. Franchise partners across the UK support food banks, take part in sponsored challenges, and offer free cleans for residents who need extra help. The network also raises funds for Alzheimer’s Society through the Forget Me Knot challenge.

Vikki Donnachie Merry Maids Brand Leader added:

“We’re pleased to be recognised among respected names in UK franchising, adding that the result reflects the work of the franchisees and the support team. Their commitment has helped the network grow and deliver a service many households rely on each week.”

Merry Maids will continue to support clients across the UK and offer a strong opportunity for people who want to run a service business with clear demand and proven systems.
