Dublcheck celebrates the achievements of franchisees on its 20th anniversary


INVESTMENT LEVEL: £14,000-£190,750


Regardless of their background, Dublcheck franchisees have the potential for success.


Having been in the business of setting people up in commercial cleaning for 20 years, the brand knows how to deliver – a committed head office team walks franchisees through each step of its comprehensive training course. As Carol says with confidence: “If you put in the effort and follow the Dublcheck System, huge rewards can be realised!” “The commercial cleaning sector is a massive industry worth over £3billion. Just think of all those buildings out there that need cleaning! This is a really exciting opportunity for franchisees because the growth and profit potential can be maximised using the experience, knowledge and systems we have developed.”


T


his year marks the 20th anniversary of Dublcheck, one of the fastest-growing and most successful cleaning franchises in the UK. To celebrate, a


gala dinner and an awards ceremony was held to recognise the many achievements of the organisation and its franchisees. Founder and chairman Carol Stewart-Gill hosted the event. Graham Hey, former Dublcheck franchisee and master of ceremonies for the evening, commented: “It is fantastic to see so many successful franchisees collecting awards and joining us for a wonderful celebration. Despite the economic downturn, this organisation is most definitely on the up and up.” Len Donnelly won the prestigious Dublcheck 20th Anniversary Award. Since joining the network over six years ago, Len has amassed an annual turnover in excess of £325,000. To recognise his exceptional work, Dublcheck rewarded Len with a luxurious holiday for two in Las Vegas. Dublcheck’s ongoing success is


deep-rooted in its proven business model that sources contracts for its franchisees throughout the country. With over 100 franchises in operation, Dublcheck is always looking to attract


motivated people to join its national network. With a strong head office team on hand to assist and share knowledge, expertise and experience, franchisees are comprehensively supported from day one. Carol’s vision for the future is to build on 20 years of success by entering new markets with master franchisees in Europe whilst continuing to grow the thriving UK organisation.


“Dublcheck franchisees have the potential for success regardless of their background”


Paying tribute to the Dublcheck network, Carol said: “We can’t thank our franchisees enough for sustaining our reputation as a high-quality and committed organisation. We look forward to even more exciting and prosperous years ahead.”


The Dublcheck system


Founded in 1993, Dublcheck now has over 100 franchises in operation. It has been recognised as the 20th fastest- growing private company by Virgin Fast Track and The Sunday Times.


Accountant-turned-Dublcheck franchisee Larry Bainbridge proves Carol’s point. “In 2011, I took my turnover up to £250,000 and I’ve achieved 10 per cent growth year on year,” he says. The advantages of working with Dublcheck aren’t simply financial. Award winner Len Donnelly also enjoys the flexibility franchising affords. He explains: “Since I became a Dublcheck franchisee my work-life balance has improved a great deal. I spend more time with my wife Sue and see more of my six grandchildren; time is precious.” Jolanta Lavernova, who started her franchise in late 2011, agrees: “The personal benefits of owning our Dublcheck franchise are fantastic. We have a three-year-old daughter and, as we work from home, it offers excellent flexibility.”
