Manish Chohan, Mr Handyman Franchisee Hanworth & Stanwell
A Financial Consultant for 10 years, Manish Cohan has grasped the nettle and taken that step to embark on a long time ambition of running his own business. Manish sites, the cost and the frustration of travelling long hours to work, lack of available time to spend with his two young children along with the opportunity to work local as a Mr Handyman Business owner as the main reasons he now at this time choose to realise his ambition. . His research showed him that the home and light commercial market valued at an incredible £35 Billion per annum with little credible competition as the main reasons he now at this time choose to realise his ambition. The Mr Handyman world class training, scheduling marketing systems and ongoing support, as Manish puts it, sealed the deal for him
John Hitchin Mr Handyman Franchisee Cambridge
Having spent 34 years in Engineering first with the Royal Air Force I decided to embark on a long time ambition of running my own business. The Franchise route was my obvious choice offering business acumen and expertise that would have taken me years to acquire. I spent many months looking for a professional, profitable & sustainable business that fulfilled a genuine need. During my investigations I came across MR HANDYMAN UK and found a franchise that matched my criteria exactly. Speaking with other franchisees I was extremely impressed with their enthusiasm, openness and ‘can do’ attitude, even in trying
economic times. Being the WORLD’S largest Handyman franchisor with over 300 MR HANDYMAN franchises already in operation, they offer sound business planning and advice, which is second to none, built up over many years of experience. MR HANDYMAN is bringing the highest professional standards to a business sector currently dominated by single man outfits whose customer care and workmanship can be extremely variable. ON TIME.DONE RIGHT is the company maxim which takes dedication and handwork to achieve but who said the road to financial security was easy!
Andrew Bullock Mr Handyman St Albans
After over fifteen years working in advertising and marketing for a wide range of companies including M&C Saatchi and more recently as Head of Marketing for Innocent Drinks, I decided I needed a new challenge and more importantly the sense of satisfaction, reward and motivation I felt had been lacking in working for other people for so many years. I approached the world of franchising through a franchise matching consultant. From day one, I was drawn to Mr. Handyman not only because the concept just made sense intuitively, but as a management franchise, I felt it would allow me to utilise my people, project management and marketing skills and to grow and develop my own business as a manager rather than purely as a sales person within a franchise network. And I couldn’t ignore the potential – the market is huge and the potential rewards for a hard working franchisee are excellent.
I’m glad I made the choice to work with Mr. Handyman – it is clear that as one of the leading US franchises and the No.1 Handyman franchise there is a huge amount of knowledge and experience, marketing nonce and expertise available to franchisees as well as a robust support structure – I’m on the ‘phone to them every day and they are always thoroughly helpful in the proper spirit of partnership. Their diligence and preparation before taking on the UK market is reflected in every detail, right down to having the concept approved by the franchising team of a major UK bank; which has made the money side of the process, so far, extremely painless!
I’ve had my moments of doubt as everyone will have in looking at franchise opportunities, but the support system is there to help – what I can say is I’ve never been more raring to go to work!
David Christian is swapping Franchise Consultancy to become a Mr.Handyman Franchisee in Glasgow South
“During my years as a Franchise Consultant, I have examined hundreds of franchise systems both here in the UK and from around the world on behalf of my clients. When it came to looking into the Mr Handyman franchise, I have to say I was very impressed indeed. In fact so much so, I have decided to opt to take a Mr Handyman franchise myself as I firmly believe it will be a very lucrative and rewarding business to be a part of. Whilst there are many reasons I could give for my decision to go with Mr. Handyman, such as the earning potential, their years of proven success or their support structure, I think their key advantage is that they operate in such a massive market with little credible competition and have all the marketing systems in place to win and keep customers.”
