An important message regarding our services during COVID-19 Home Blog Poppies celebrate ten years in Lyme Bay Poppies celebrate ten years in Lyme Bay 09/01/17 THANK YOU: Poppies Lyme Bay manager Carolann Manjang presents a bouquet to long-standing customer Peggy Marriott IT was a double celebration for cleaning service Poppies Lyme Bay recently, as it marked 10 years in business and 10 years under the management of Carolann Manjang. The company celebrated by presenting a bouquet of flowers to its very first customer, Charmouth resident Peggy Marriott, who still regularly uses the service today. Peggy, who signed up for the Poppies service as soon as it was set up, was full of praise for the domestic cleaning company, and said: “They have been wonderful and I could not do without them. They have never let me down.” The company, a franchise of the national Poppies brand, was set up in 2007 by Graham Iszatt and is based in Wooton Fitzpaine, near Charmouth, but covers a large territory across the Lyme Bay area – from West Compton to Sidmouth and inland to Yeovil. The franchise has expanded over the years, now with nine staff, and it is currently looking to recruit more cleaners. They offer a friendly, domestic cleaning service with weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly or one-off cleans available to meet each client’s individual needs. The national brand Poppies was established by the late Sue Rorstad in County Durham in 1980 and she soon decided to make the business a franchise opportunity, creating more jobs across the country, with the first franchise bought in 1984. Sue later received the MBE for services to domiciliary care. The company retains its original philosophy of giving a fair deal for its employees. It aims to provide clients with a high quality, professional and consistent service and achieves this by treating its employees in the same way. http://www.umsa.org.uk/poppies-celebrate-ten-years-lyme-bay/ Categorised in: News This post was written by More from Poppies All posts Poppies Post – Issue 2 Find the closest Poppies branch to you: Search Our Locations Bay & Lakes Chester Chichester Cumbria Doncaster Durham Exeter Guildford Leeds NW Liverpool Chesterfield & Mansfield Mercia Newcastle Peak District Sheffield Stockport South Tyne & Wear Wilmslow, Alderley Edge & Macclesfield Wirral West Lancs, Southport & Formby Site Links Our Services Our Locations About Us Jobs Blog Contact Us Our Services Regular Housework One-Off / Spring Cleaning Services Laundry & Ironing Light Commercial Cleaning Independent Living Assistance Temporary Help Moving Home Second Home Services Privacy & Data Cookies policy Terms & Conditions Privacy Policy Contact Us EMAIL US admin@poppies.co.uk CALL US 01297 560460 FIND US 71 Burscough Street Ormskirk Lancashire L39 2EL 2021 Poppies (UK) Limited (Company No: 02044886).
