Chris’ journey into the home cleaning business began in 1996 when he bought a Poppies franchise and opened one branch with one cleaner and one client. Now, he owns the Poppies UK Brand, supporting more than 30 branches, employing nearly 500 people providing help in thousands of homes across the UK every week. Chris loves helping others learn how to run a successful Poppies business from the start of their journey, through their breakthrough moments to coaching and supporting them when they have a successful Poppies business of their own.

Poppies is a brand with a real heritage and business values based on honesty and integrity. Each Poppies franchisee has the peace of mind of a very stable business model serving a growing market, fabulous job satisfaction, great residual income, and the ability to enjoy a work-life balance that suits your lifestyle. As servants to two cats, Chris and his partner know that pets make a home but also create the most mess!
