Franchise Focus Chips are up
Andy Cornell is on the road to success with ChipsAway INVESTMENT LEVEL: £29,995
A
fter being made redundant for the second time in three years, former sales and marketing director Andy Cornell took his career into his own hands and,
since launching his ChipsAway franchise 18 months ago, he hasn’t looked back. “I’m absolutely thrilled with the way
my business is going,” says Andy. “I’d always dreamt of running my own business and the increasingly tough times in the print industry, where I worked previously, encouraged me to take the leap now rather than seek another job and possibly face redundancy yet again.” Andy experienced the unique repair
system of the UK’s leading automotive paintwork repair brand before, so ChipsAway seemed a pretty good place
to start. “I wanted something flexible, not massively expensive and with the potential for growth,” he explains. “The ChipsAway model seemed to fit the bill.” Andy’s investment has paid off: “It has
proved to be everything I hoped for. It does what it says on the tin, and if you follow the business model you can’t go wrong! Head office send through a lot of leads and about 30 per cent of my business comes from referrals, repeat business and recommendations, which is great. I earned very good money as a company director, but with ChipsAway I have the potential to earn considerably more.” Having already taken on an extra van
and employee to cope with demand for his services, Andy plans on expanding into a Car Care Centre and building his team of technicians this year. This will allow him to

concentrate on marketing and growing his business further. “From the outset, I’ve had terrific
support from ChipsAway and I know that whatever option I choose for the future, I can count on their experience, enthusiasm and advice to help me build my business and achieve long-term success.” With around 300 specialists in operation
nationwide, ChipsAway repairs scratches, bumper scuffs and kerbed alloy wheels on a same-day basis to vehicles at a convenient location for the customer. n
