A home-loving Chelmsford woman has launched her own innovative cleaning business, which promises to help local people love their homes.

Cathy Fell, 34, from Bicknacre in Chelmsford has become the owner of a Bright & Beautiful franchise, which will bring holistic housekeeping to the region.

The mother of two will manage a team of cleaners to deliver ethical, professional and eco-friendly housekeeping for busy people in Chelmsford and the surrounding areas with services include cleaning, tidying, laundry and ironing.

Cathy said: “Having worked in management and finance for 11 years I wanted a complete career change, starting a Bright & Beautiful franchise appealed to me as I could use my management experience while taking on something new and unique.

“My team and I will provide holistic housekeeping, which means we don’t just clean, we make sure that our clients homes are immaculate, smelling lovely, with everything tidy and organised for when they come home.”

She added: “I believe that my new business venture will help people to love their homes again, as we take away the stress of domestic duties while making their houses sparkle and shine!”

Bright & Beautiful is an award-winning business model that was founded by entrepreneur Rachel Ray in 2007.

A busy working mum herself, Rachel spotted a gap in the market for a domestic cleaning company that provided full fair employment rights for its team, non-toxic cleaning products and an exceptional housekeeping service for its clients.

Since then the business has grown from strength to strength with franchisees around the UK employing carefully vetted professional housekeepers and servicing thousands of clients.
