Cranleigh based family business, Chem-Dry Gold has every right to be celebrating after recently winning the prestigious Chem-Dry UK Southern Regional Franchise of the Year 2009 Award. This award is presented at Chem-Dry’s annual convention and rewards outstanding excellence. Various business disciplines are judged such as business planning, customer satisfaction, marketing and upholding Chem-Dry franchise values and activities in the local region.

All Chem-Dry franchises based in the South of England are considered for this coveted award and the eventual winner is always held in high regard by their peers. There is never any shortage of worthy candidates and Chem-Dry Gold faced some stiff competition from other Chem-Dry franchises based in the South of England. Chem-Dry Gold is worthy recipients of a cash prize and the regional trophy in recognition of their achievement.

Malcolm Gasper, Proprietor of Chem-Dry Gold, comments “I am delighted that the UK Chem-Dry Master Franchise have recognised and rewarded our efforts this year. The Chem-Dry UK franchise network is blessed with a knowledge sharing culture and we are very lucky to have some dear friends within Chem-Dry, who are always willing to share, when I need some advice. During our 20 years as an independently operated and owned franchise business, I have witnessed the growth of the Chem-Dry brand, however the last 12 months have been frantic with the new corporate online domestic booking system going live. This has contributed to giving the domestic & commercial side of our business some much needed momentum and impetus. To say I am delighted with this award would be an understatement”.

Mark Galsworthy, Director of Franchising comments “On behalf of the UK Chem-Dry Franchise Network and Master Franchise, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Malcolm & Marie on a fantastic achievement. Chem-Dry Gold are great role models for other aspiring Chem-Dry franchises, they simply get on with the job and exemplify what Chem-Dry is all about. This award is thoroughly deserved after 20 years of hard work and endeavour. I believe Malcolm & his team will carry on the great tradition of previous ‘Chem-Dry Regional Franchise of the Year’ award winners in helping to improve standards within the carpet & upholstery cleaning industry and lead from the front”.

Chem-Dry Gold is an independently owned locally based company who have been trading since 1990. Today the domestic and commercial carpet and upholstery cleaning business is still run by husband and wife team Malcolm & Marie Gasper, assisted by Senior Technician Ray Smith. This has resulted in the business evolving to its current size through the provision of exceptional service to their domestic and commercial customers throughout communities of West Surrey.
