Inside Story Express yourself


Franchisee Trefor Jones discusses how Express Business Group allowed him to turn his dream of being his own boss into reality


INVESTMENT LEVEL: FROM £3,950 E


xpress Business Group UK owes its success to two Australian entrepreneurs, whose passion for small business and helping people turned into the


development of one of the fastest-growing franchise companies in the world. The exciting and fast-paced company initially launched in Australia and was built on three fundamental premises: a simple job done exceptionally well, a fair and affordable franchise opportunity, and a proven system that enables hard-working individuals to be their own boss. With demand for the service industry booming, the UK has been in need of a


solution like Express. It offers people a solution to break free of the shackles of their nine-to-five job for a small investment and the backing of a global brand. Express’ all-inclusive franchise opportunities offer new business owners everything they need to run their own successful business, from initial training and equipment, to ongoing support and business coaching. With over 30 specialised business divisions available, from house cleaning and bookkeeping to car cleaning and property maintenance, there is an opportunity for everyone. The business’s dedication to achieving its vision of “changing lives by helping


people develop Express businesses throughout the world” is what makes the Express system such a success in the UK and across the globe. One of the first Express franchisees in Stoke-on-Trent, Trefor Jones got involved in Express pickup and delivery and hasn’t looked back.
