NIC Local franchisee secures huge contract with national museum
At NIC Local, we are always thrilled to showcase the superb achievements of our burgeoning franchise network.
That’s why we are delighted to share the news that one of our long-serving franchisees, Maria Mestre, has agreed a significant new client contract with Eureka! The National Children’s Museum.
Since joining NIC in 2016, Maria has steadily expanded her client base by successfully delivering the signature quality commercial cleaning services NIC is known for. And this latest accomplishment marks a major milestone for Maria’s franchise.
Inside Maria’s Eureka moment!

The multi-year contract with Eureka! will see Maria’s team (around 20 staff members for this project) carry out both regular and deep cleaning services at the museum. This will ensure a pristine environment for visitors and staff alike – particularly important given the high interactivity of the exhibits and countless touch points.
It is the largest contract Maria has secured to date, underscoring the high level of trust and confidence clients place in Maria and her business. It is also testament to the strategic approach Maria has taken to growing her franchise since joining NIC, developing a stellar reputation in the industry along the way.
