Andrew Watton

For more than 30 years, I have built, grown and managed businesses in the UK. My work combines practical business experience with digital marketing, franchising and local search strategy.

I am the Managing Director and Founder of Diamond Home Support, one of the UK’s largest domestic cleaning franchise networks, where I oversee national growth, marketing, technology and business development. Since we started in 2010, I have helped expand the business into a nationwide network supporting local franchise owners, self-employed cleaners and thousands of households across the UK.

My approach has always been straightforward. Build sustainable businesses, make decisions using data rather than assumptions, and focus on creating long-term value for clients, franchisees and the wider business.

Professional Experience

Over the past three decades I have worked across a range of industries, giving me practical experience in business ownership, marketing, operations and commercial strategy.

• Domestic cleaning

• AI search optimisation
• Digital marketing
• Lead generation
• Google Business Profile optimisation
• Website strategy

Rather than specialising in theory, my experience comes from running businesses, solving day-to-day operational challenges and continually improving processes that deliver measurable results.

My Approach To Business

No nonsense. Time is precious.

Successful businesses rarely grow through one big decision.

They grow because hundreds of small improvements are made consistently over time.

I believe in measuring performance, simplifying processes where possible and investing in systems that allow businesses to scale without losing quality. Technology should support people and allow them to scale effectively and efficiently.

Whether developing marketing strategies, improving customer journeys or implementing automation, my focus is on practical solutions that produce measurable results.

I regularly publish articles covering subjects including:

• Domestic cleaning
• Franchising
• Local marketing
