Franchise Focus
Fast-track to success
Andy Cornell has financial security with his ChipsAway franchise
INVESTMENT LEVEL: £29,995 A
fter being made redundant for the second time in three years, former sales and marketing director Andy Cornell decided to
take his career into his own hands and become his own boss rather than risk the threat of redundancy again. Now, three years after launching his ChipsAway franchise, he has no regrets. “I’m absolutely thrilled with the way my business is going,” says Andy. “I’d always dreamt of running my own business and the increasingly tough times in the print industry, where I worked previously, encouraged me to take the leap now rather than seek another job and possibly face redundancy yet again.” Andy had already experienced the
unique repair system for himself, so the UK’s leading automotive paintwork repair
brand seemed a pretty good place to start. “I wanted something flexible, not massively expensive and that had the potential for growth,” he explains. “The ChipsAway model seemed to fit the bill.” Andy’s investment has already more than paid off. “It has proved to be everything I’d hoped for. It does what it says on the tin, and if you follow the business model you can’t go wrong! Head office send through a lot of leads and about 30 per cent of my business comes from referrals, repeat business and recommendations, which is great. I earned very good money as a company director, but with ChipsAway I have the potential to earn considerably more.” Having already taken on an extra van and employee to cope with demand for his services, Andy has expanded into a CarCare Centre and taken on more technicians to his team, which has allowed

him to concentrate on marketing and continuing to grow his business. “From the outset, I’ve had terrific support
from ChipsAway and I know that whatever option I choose for the future, I can count on their experience, enthusiasm and advice to help me build my business and achieve long-term success!” With around 300 specialists in operation nationwide, ChipsAway repairs scratches, bumper scuffs and kerbed alloy wheels on a same-day basis to vehicles at a location convenient to the customer. n
