Franchise Focus
Virgin Fast Track and The Sunday Times. 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.” 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.”
