CrestClean franchisees – the independent business owners behind every clean

Christchurch franchise owner Kumaran Nair has owned his own business for 10 years.

One of the biggest reasons CrestClean delivers such consistently high standards comes down to the fact that our franchisees are owner-operators. They’re not just turning up to do a job, they’re running their own business, and every result has their name on it.

That ownership shapes how they approach their work. Because it’s their own business, the small details matter. Every clean, every interaction, every customer relationship plays a part in their success.

Unlike traditional employment, there’s no ceiling on what CrestClean franchisees can achieve. Some start small and, before long, are running large operations with a large team of their own employees. For many, their franchise grows into something bigger than they ever expected.

Navjot Kaur and Navdeep Singh are just one example of what’s possible. After becoming CrestClean franchise owners in 2020, the couple quickly recognised the opportunity to grow. Today, they run one of CrestClean’s largest franchises and were named Franchisee of the Year 2025 at the Westpac NZ Franchise Awards.

“We’re proud of our success – which has come from setting clear goals, planning strategically, taking consistent action, and regularly reviewing our progress.”

It all comes back to the simple reality that the more franchise owner put into their business, the more they get out. They’re not working towards someone else’s goals. It’s all about them and where they want to take their business, which is why they’re committed to going the extra mile to make their customers feel genuinely looked after.

And while they’re running their own show, they’re not doing it alone. CrestClean provides strong support behind the scenes, with training, proven systems, and guidance from regional managers. It’s a combination that gives franchisees the independence of business ownership, backed by the support they need to succeed.
