BFA HSBC UK British Franchise Awards 2024 Countdown and Sit-down: Siva Kugathas

We sat down with BFA HSBC UK British Franchise Awards finalist Siva Kugathas from ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services AAA.

Siva Kugathas is ready for the BFA HSBC UK British Franchise Awards.

Siva, the owner of ServiceMaster Clean Contact Services AAA, was named a finalist in the BFA HSBC UK British Franchise Awards 2024 in July after winning big last year.

Siva is being recognised in the Business Builder category for purchasing a profitable resale business and excelling by executing strategies that elevate it from good to great.

We sat down with Siva ahead of the awards finals this week to discuss the awards and see how it feels to be a finalist.

About Siva and ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services AAA

Siva purchased ServiceMaster Clean Contract Services Guildford in 2017 as a resale from an existing franchisee.

At the time, the business turned over £50,000. In a matter of years, he has transformed it into a shining star in his multi-million-pound, multi-territory empire: ServiceMaster Clean AAA.

Using the ServiceMaster Clean model and thorough strategies that combat common hurdles in the cleaning industry, Siva has transformed a good business into something great.

What inspired you to take the plunge and enter the awards? 

“After winning last year, I knew the value that the BFA HSBC UK British Franchise Awards bring to a business. I also didn’t want to rest on my laurels and recognise my business’s overall journey and how we’ve grown in the last year and prove that we can keep getting better and better.”

Why did you specifically choose the category? 

“The Business Builder category lets us tell the story of ServiceMaster Clean AAA from where we started to where we are today. I’m really proud of our journey, and I feel that this category allows us to share and be recognised for that.”

What does being a finalist signify for you and your business?

“Being a finalist means so much. For me, it’s about showcasing who we are and what we do, and it means a lot to be recognised by the BFA and HSBC UK alongside all the other great franchisees. And for my team, it means a lot as well. Not only do we all want to be a part of something great, but without them doing the day-to-day, we wouldn’t be able to grow as we have or do what we do, so any award that recognises the business is also for them.”

 Are you excited for the awards night?

“I am very excited; it is a great event, and it’s always such a fantastic atmosphere with so many accomplished members of the franchising world in the UK in one room.”

About ServiceMaster Clean by Deeland

In 2021, it became an Employee Ownership Trust, whereby 80% of the company shares are held in trust on behalf of the employees.

What inspired you to take the plunge and enter the awards? 

“We’re incredibly proud of our journey so far and wanted to showcase what we have achieved to a wider audience and also let our team see how proud we are of them!”

Why did you specifically choose the category? 

“Our sustained growth achievements have been delivered through articulation and delivery of a clear strategy, underpinned by a strong company culture, so we believe this award category is most relevant.”

ServiceMaster Clean AAA have been carefully chosen by the awards judges as finalists in three categories:

  1. Customer-Centric Culture
  2. Business Change or Transformation
  3. Employee Experience Strategy

ServiceMaster Clean AAA’s Initiatives

Since launching in 2017, ServiceMaster Clean AAA has constantly innovated its support for its staff and clients, transforming from a single-territory franchise in Guildford to a 14-territory empire covering much of the UK.

Through key initiatives, the business has evolved significantly through a focus on customer experience and supported the personal and professional development of employees, which helped grow to a staff of over 900.

Business owner Siva Kugathas says he is delighted to have his innovation through his commitment to the people in his business and the people it serves recognised by the awards.

“I’m thrilled to be named a finalist in the Customer Centricity World Series for Customer-Centric Culture, Business Change or Transformation and Employee Experience Strategy,” he says.

“My goal has always been to provide my customers with an exceptional cleaning service, going above and beyond to exceed what they expect from our employees. In doing so, I have endeavoured to create an environment where my staff can grow and thrive. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do. So, thank you to my team – this is for you!”

The results of the awards will be announced at a black-tie event in Dubai in May 2024.
