accreditation for the fifth successive year, a certification that Rik Hellewell is extremely proud of. He explains: “Our ISO assessment is carried out every year to ensure that we continue to offer the very best quality by way of initial training and operational support for our franchise network. Our dedication to the ISO standards means that we are able to offer all franchisees exactly the same training and support. This, in turn, guarantees corporate uniformity across the brand and, from a client’s perspective, the reassurance that their local area expert has been professionally trained to an internationally recognised standard.”
“I now love being my own boss within such a quality franchise”
Chris Gilmore
founder and MD of Ovenu, offers: “Just one word will do and that is ‘Quality’. We look to recruit great franchisees who will offer a premium quality service to their clients. We’re building a solid, robust and reputable network throughout the UK and beyond based on these founding principles.” He adds: “It’s hugely important for

prospective clients and franchisees to find exactly what they are looking for quickly and easily. Clients need to know who they’re dealing with – who will be coming round to their home. To that end, all of our franchisees’ local area websites have either a picture or video of the franchisee which is proving an extremely helpful initiative – clients love to see who they will be dealing with.” Ian Wood, a recently appointed Ovenu
hen asked to describe the
success of Ovenu and its franchise network as a whole, Rik Hellewell,
franchisee, who is now successfully trading in the rural Moray area of Scotland, adds: “As part of my due diligence I spoke with many other operators in the oven cleaning sector and spent time, effort and money undertaking this research. My final visit was to meet with Rik and I’m so pleased that I did! The figures we ran through were thorough, factual and realistic. I spent the following day with an existing franchisee to see the entire Ovenu process ‘up close and personal’. I quickly established that the system was pure quality from the superbly fabricated hygiene-grade process equipment, the bespoke products and tools and the service extended to clients. All designed to ensure quality results time after time. “Before reaching my decision I contacted a selection of existing franchisees to get their ‘take’ on the opportunity. It was refreshing and encouraging to know that I could speak to as many or as few as I decided. I now love being my own boss within such a quality franchise.” Ovenu recently gained ISO 9001:2008
Commenting on the Ovenu induction training course, Chris and Vicky Gilmore who recently started trading in the South Suffolk area say: “What became apparent early on was that we were being taught how to run a profitable business in conjunction with valeting domestic cooking appliances back to ‘showroom’ condition. The course was even better than we had initially envisaged. By the end of the week our van was sign-written and equipped with everything needed to start work immediately. Our website was built and figured right at the top of the Google rankings for the three main areas that we are covering – very impressive indeed as we got our first enquiry and booking before we’d finished the course! “We’re both looking forward to running our own successful business in the South Suffolk area and feel hugely confident that, with the quality support package that Ovenu offers, we can achieve our goals whilst maintaining that all important work-life balance.” Rik concludes: “It’s been a pleasure getting Chris and Vicky off to the flying start that they deserve. We acknowledge and appreciate that starting in business can be reasonably daunting but we’re extremely confident that these quality franchisees will enjoy the same levels of success as the rest of our expanding network.” n
