An experienced early years practitioner in Devon has secured the future of a local nursery by acquiring the business in addition to their current premises.

Rachel Howing-Nicholls is a highly qualified early years practitioner who has owned and operated Millswood Nursery School as a sole trader since 2010. Millswood is a leasehold OFSTED Outstanding rated setting, trading on a term-time only basis from its current premises in Ivybridge since 1982.

Although ONS data shows that a third (35%) of all managerial roles in the UK were held by women in 2016, up 32% from 2011, separate analysis* of listed businesses in the UK shows just 32 female executive directors at FTSE 250 firms and 24 for the FTSE Small Cap.

The deal, supported by funding from Santander Corporate & Commercial, signals a new cycle of growth and energy for the specialist provider of managed cleaning services and kitchen porters to the luxury hospitality sector.

Founded in 2006, ACT Clean is now the market leader in its niche sector. Its impressive, long-term client base ranges from fine dining restaurants, luxury hotels including The Ritz, Claridge’s and The Savoy, through to private members’ clubs and luxury retailers.
