Mr. Andrew West of Corvus of Jacksonville celebrated his four-year business anniversary on July 24th. With the help of his wife, Ms. Dawn Henry, Andrew has grown his business to service 8 accounts and takes pride in providing all of his customers with high-quality service.

Known for his “can do” attitude, Andrew has successfully rehabilitated several difficult accounts. There was a particular customer that was incredibly difficult to please and seemed to be close to terminating their contract. However, Mr. West stepped in to clean and the customer has not complained since he started servicing the account six months ago. In the rare event that he does receive a complaint, he resolves the issue immediately.

Andrew doesn’t just use his masterful janitorial skills for his own franchise – he also works with a local realty company to help with move-out day cleans as well as repair jobs. There
seems to be no limit on his capabilities when it comes to janitorial services and beyond!

He started to grow quickly and soon had to hire a few employees to keep on top of his accounts! Eventually, Mr. Watson turned his side hustle into a full-time job. His wife joined in and started helping him with his business and they are both now fully involved in running it. Now Ricky has an incredible team and many happy customers- and he’s still growing his franchise.

Not only is Ricky Watson very successful himself, but he’s also been a great help to other Franchisees.

Many other Franchisees and the Cincinnati Corvus Team have formed close friendships with Ricky because of his “Team Player” attitude. He’s always willing to lend a hand to those who need it!

Thank you, Mr. Watson, for embodying Corvus’ mission to Make Lives Better and for your decade-and-a-half partnership with Corvus…we couldn’t do it without standout franchise owners like yourself, and we look forward to many more years of partnership!
