Merry Maids of North Sussex celebrates 20 years in business

Merry Maids North Sussex, which estimates it has cleaned more than 78,000 homes since its launch, is celebrating 20 years of providing high quality cleaning to residents across the region.

Merry Maids of North Sussex, which is a franchise of one the world’s leading and largest domestic cleaning companies, Merry Maids, was launched in 1996 by local businessman Ray Topple and his sister-in-law Daphne. The business is based near to Gatwick Airport and serves over 100 customers, many of whom have been with the company since 1997. Ray also employs 14 staff, with a number of them celebrating over 10 years of continued employment with Merry Maids.

Ray Topple, business owner, Merry Maids of North Sussex said: “We’re delighted to be celebrating 20 years in business and attribute the longevity of our business to looking after both our customers and our staff. We ensure that each and every customer receives the service they deserve and if they aren’t happy for whatever reason, we will return and re-clean to their requirements.”

Catriona Berry, brand operations manager for Merry Maids added: “It’s such a great achievement for Ray and his team to reach 20 years in business. Ray’s customer service and attention to detail is second to none and he is a credit to the Merry Maids franchise network.”

Alzheimer’s Society’s Dementia Friends programme is the biggest ever initiative to change people’s perceptions of dementia. It aims to transform the way the nation thinks, talks and acts about the condition. Dementia touches the lives of millions of people across the UK. Dementia Friends was launched to tackle the stigma and lack of understanding that means many people with the condition experience loneliness and social exclusion.

Merry Maids of North Sussex are proud to be Dementia Friends.

A Dementia Friend or Dementia Friends Champion such as the maids at Merry Maids of North Sussex are individuals who have a better understanding of dementia; will know how to act more sympathetically towards people with dementia in their communities and workplaces; and has committed to taking a practical action to help people with dementia, contributing to a dementia friendly community. From telling friends about the Dementia Friends programme to visiting someone you know living with dementia, every action counts.

We felt that it was important for each one of our maids to become Dementia Friends as we often visit customers homes where someone is affected by Dementia, either personally or through a friend or relative. The training provided has helped our maids to become familiar with the condition, and understand how to act more sympathetically.

We know that being Dementia Friends will be a huge benefit to our customers existing and new
