ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services AAA has once again been recognised as a leader in the commercial cleaning sector. The business has been names Commercial Cleaning Company of the Year 20206 at the Corporate LiveWire Innovation and Excellence Awards. As a result, this marks the fifth consecutive year the company has received the award, an achievement that reflects consistent performance, strong leadership and the strength of the ServiceMaster Clean franchise model.

The business, owned by Siva Kugathas and his son Ayran Kugathas, operates one of the most successful ServiceMaster Clean franchise multi-territories in the UK. Over time, their growth has demonstrated what can be achieved when experienced leadership is combined with a proven franchise system.

The Corporate LiveWire Awards recognise outstanding SMEs and multinational companies across the UK and globally. Winners are selected based on performance, innovation, service quality and long-term business growth. Therefore, receiving the award once is significant. Winning it five years in a row shows exceptional consistency.

Why this matters to franchise investors

Importantly, awards like this are not won through branding alone. Instead, they come from strong systems, clear leadership and consistent delivery. ServiceMaster Clean AAA has built its reputations by focusing on contract retention, controlled expansion and high service standards.

For anyone considering a ServiceMaster Clean franchise, this achievement provides clear evidence of what the model can deliver. In other words, the question most investors ask is simple.

Can the model deliver repeatable, scalable results?

ServiceMaster Clean AAA proves it can, when owners combine a proven system with commercial leadership, investment in people and relentless focus on client retention.

What the ServiceMaster Clean franchise model delivers

Unlike many small businesses, commercial cleaning is built on contracts rather than one‑off jobs. As a result, franchise owners benefit from predictable income and long term stability.

AAA’s performance highlights advantages of the ServiceMaster Clean franchise model:

• Predictable recurring revenue from multiyear contracts
• Long‑term business value created through retained clients
• A management style structure rather than self-employment
• Support from an established national brand

ServiceMaster Clean AAA translated these outcomes into awards by selling value, protecting margins and delivering consistent standards. That combination is the practical blueprint for new franchisees who want to scale beyond owner‑operator limits.

Systems create the structure, owners drive the results.

ServiceMaster Ltd has refined its franchise systems over more than 65 years. During that time, the focus has remained the same. Provide franchise owners with the tools needed to win customers, maintain standards and grow safely.

Support includes:

• Sales and tendering guidance
• Training and operational support
• Marketing and brand backing
• Compliance and quality frameworks
• Ongoing business development advice

Franchise owners who invest with ServiceMaster Ltd are not starting alone. Instead, they are building within a framework that has already been tested.

Ayran Kugathas on the Achievement

“Winning this award for the fifth year in a row is a proud moment for our whole team. It reflects the dedication, consistency and high standards we work hard to deliver every day. It also shows what’s achievable within the ServiceMaster Clean franchise model. With the right mindset, leadership, and support from ServiceMaster Ltd, franchise owners can build strong, sustainable businesses that stand out in the market.” — Ayran Kugathas, Marketing Director, ServiceMaster AAA

A Franchise Designed for Long-Term Business Owners

Choosing a franchise is not just about how you start, it’s about who stands beside you five, ten, fifteen years later. For this reason, the ServiceMaster Clean franchise is designed for people who want to build a valuable company, not simply create a job.

Franchise owners benefit from:

• A trusted national brand with 65+ years of franchising expertise
• A proven, contract‑led business model designed for growth
• Comprehensive training, operational support, and marketing guidance from ServiceMaster Ltd
• A recession‑resilient industry with consistent demand
• The opportunity to build a management‑style business with long‑term value

Over time, many franchise owners grow their business, develop a management structure, and then sell for a significant return. Therefore, the focus is always on long term value
