New Franchise Introducing...
Sanondaf’s first franchisee, Kevin Smith, describes his initial experiences with his West Sussex operation...
“P
rior to joining Sanondaf I ran my own retail business operating five outlets in the West Sussex area and was involved in local parish
and community initiatives with my wife Debbie, who is an accountant. By 2013, I had reached a certain stage in life and decided to retire from retail and look for a new business challenge that was fresh, viable and would excite me. In short, I wanted to do something really different! My journey took me to the British and International Franchise Exhibition at Olympia and as soon as I saw the Sanondaf franchise concept I knew it was going to be the business for me. I liked the revolutionary idea, the technology was exciting and it was a low-investment, high- return opportunity.
I knew that very day I wanted to be a part of this exciting company by becoming their first franchisee. I started the application process immediately with follow-up meetings with each of the directors who were behind the brand to complete my due diligence process. Fast-forward four weeks and I have completed my induction training programme, which took me through the science behind touch-less disinfection and the incredibly large market opportunity that exists not only in the health and care sector but also in many other industries including education, transport, hospitality, agriculture and the workplace. Add in the specialist machines, chemicals, uniform and my
branded van and I am now a fully trained and qualified Sanondaf technician, licensed to kill 99.99 per cent of harmful bacteria and viruses in any work or domestic situation. I have also completed training in infection control, risk assessment and COSHH regulations.
“The opportunity to genuinely help people excites and drives me”
From day one, everybody I have met has
been really interested in the services I offer and I have already dealt with enquiries from vets, healthcare professionals and other business owners in the traditional cleaning sector about Sanondaf’s unique ability in dealing with bacteria, viruses, mould and fungi that can be hazardous to health. A typical day involves some telephone and email canvassing but my main strength has always been my people skills, so I make an effort each day to meet new potential customers from all walks of life, to inform and educate them about how simple it can be to deal with outbreaks in the workplace and in the home. Because of the nature of bacteria and viruses, they can affect anyone and, ultimately, dealing with this proactively has massive health and financial benefits – it is better to prevent infection rather than treat something already established. Even somebody
having flu can lead to an outbreak resulting in the whole office feeling poorly or a family being affected, so I do feel I am offering a unique and revolutionary service that everyone can benefit from. So far, the training and support has been second to none and further training is always provided when any new application, treatments or products are introduced, with ongoing support always there if and when you need it. I am very proud to be a franchisee with Sanondaf. They are a great company with dedicated, helpful people, great products and great support. I believe totally in what we do and the opportunity to genuinely help people excites and drives me. In the future, I want to continue to grow my franchise across West Sussex and be the gold standard for disinfection and decontamination services in the South East.” n
