A CLEANING franchise in Rossendale is set to establish its own high street presence.

Nicola Bailey, of Bright and Beautiful, was the winner of the best service business prize at the 2018 Rossendale Business Awards.

And now she's using that momentum to open a drop-in laundry and ironing shop in Bank Street, Rawtenstall.

She said: "The future is really exciting for our business and we have so much to celebrate – both the opening of the new shop and recognition for the quality and scope of the service that we deliver to our customers."

Her team of housekeepers, now numbering 10, has been around since 2011.

She has contracts across the Rossendale valley and as far afield as Bury and Bolton.

Nicola added: "We are looking forward to welcoming new customers into our shop and to take care of the jobs they don’t have time for or enjoy doing themselves, leaving them free to enjoy their hard-earned free time!”

Since 2017 Bright and Beautiful has been a trade service brand for Banbury-based Neighbourly.
