Welcome to the Ashrose Group

From the Ashes of Disaster, Grow the Roses of Success

The Ashrose Group was formed in 2002 as a nationwide cooperative of companies offering similar cleaning services.

Initially we comprised four separate companies, all disillusioned ex-franchisees of 'The Farrow System' franchise organisation that existed from late 2000 until early 2002.

Of those initial companies, just two of us remain (actually the first two companies that Nigel Farrow attracted to his organisation). One of our other founders having re-emigrated to New Zealand (via a round the world sail), and the other having taken up large scale free range egg farming. However the two remaining companies, one in the south of England and one in the North can can provide a (relatively!) local, Nationwide service. We are also in occasional contact with other Farrow System users, and have been known to pass work or leads to more locally based contractors.

Primarily we offer a low pressure soft abrasive cleaning, for use in the marine, property renovation and industrial cleaning sectors.Since leaving Mr Farrow's organisation we have been able to offer additional services, including...
