Mum aims to clean up with new business

Former primary school teacher and mum of two Lucy Bassett is set to clean up the homes of Plymouth with the launch of her own eco-friendly domestic cleaning and home care business, Bright & Beautiful.

Lucy, who was born in Plymouth and now lives in the city with her young family launches her      business this month managing a team of cleaners to deliver ethical, professional and eco-friendly housekeeping services that include cleaning, tidying and laundry in the areas of Plymouth, Plympton, Plymstock, South Hams, Roborough, Bickleigh, Ivybridge, South East Cornwall and surrounds.

Before launching Bright & Beautiful Lucy, 43, worked for ten years in a village primary school teaching a variety of subjects and also working as the Healthy Schools Coordinator, helping to achieve a Healthy Schools Award and a Sun Safe award for the school.

Lucy decided to launch Bright & Beautiful in Plymouth when, like many busy mums, she wanted to find a new career that allowed her to work flexible hours around the family.  Now her prestige   domestic care business will be delivering professional housekeeping services using all natural eco-friendly products as well as creating a number of jobs for other local people.

Lucy says: “Working as a teacher for ten years has been fantastic but, like many people, I have long dreamed of launching my own business. My own home is hugely important to me and I take a great deal of pride in keeping it looking great which is why launching Bright & Beautiful was the perfect business for me.  We only use eco-friendly products that clean and nourish furniture and surfaces but won’t cause allergies, something that is increasingly important to my family and to many of our clients.

“While we all live increasingly busy lives we know from our own research* that women are still responsible for the vast majority of housework in the home and almost half sacrifice family time to getting the housework done.  I really want to help give families their hugely important leisure time back by taking on all of those cleaning, tidying and ironing jobs that eat into their free time and weekends.”

Bright & Beautiful is an award-winning business model that was founded by entrepreneur Rachel Ray in 2007.  A busy working mum herself, Rachel spotted a gap in the market for a domestic cleaning company that provided full fair employment rights for its team, non-toxic cleaning products and an exceptional housekeeping service for its clients. Since then the business has grown from strength to strength with franchisees around the UK employing carefully vetted professional housekeepers and servicing thousands of clients.
