About Us
Swisher is celebrating a decade of franchising excellence as 2007 marked the company's 10 Year Anniversary. Established in the UK in 1997, Swisher is now recognised as the leading brand within the washroom, cleaning and franchising sectors.
In July of this year, Swisher International, the world's leading provider of commercial hygiene products and services, announced that it had reacquired the Master Licence for operations in the UK. The licence was originally purchased from Swisher International in 1997.
With rising concern surrounding MRSA, E-coli and other contagious diseases, the demand for improved washroom hygiene has increased dramatically. Swisher is the only national organisation to provide a total hygiene solution service to commercial customers throughout the UK.

Swisher has an excellent reputation for its training and support. Excellent initial training is provided, as well as extensive ongoing training programmes designed for both franchisees and their senior staff.
