“I’m constantly busy and will soon be struggling to handle any more work,” he explains. “I recently hit the £5,000 mark for monthly income, and although I’m delighted with that, if I am to continue to grow, there’s really only one way forward!” When Duncan was made redundant for the second time from his role as a senior manager for a lending company, he didn’t fancy having to move back to London to find a job and had completely lost faith in the idea that employment meant security. He decided, therefore, this was the perfect opportunity to invest in the right business

Chandler launched his Ovenclean franchise four years ago, little did the former financial
opportunity and become self-employed. “When I discovered Ovenclean, I was immediately impressed. The franchise looked like great value; I could see the potential marketplace and understood how the business model worked. Better still, when I contacted them, Ovenclean were friendly and informative, and invited me to visit head office to meet the team.” Duncan then arranged to go out on
the road with an established Ovenclean franchisee for the day, to see first-hand how the business operated. “I was more than happy with everything,” he says. “I felt I’d given myself the very best chance of success by investing in Ovenclean and I’ve been proved right!” Duncan’s only regret is that he didn’t join Ovenclean five or 10 years earlier. “I’m really enjoying being an Ovenclean franchisee,” he concludes. “No matter how hard you work as an employee, you can be made redundant when times are hard,”
he says. “I have friends and customers who have to reapply for their jobs every year, which is obviously incredibly stressful. My life now is infinitely less stressed – I have more control and flexibility. It’s very different from being a small cog in a large organisation; previously, I was demoralised and constantly looking over my shoulder to see where the axe might fall next. Now, I run my own show and feel more secure than I did in employment. My future is in my own hands. Not many people can say that and you can’t put a price on long- term security – particularly in today’s economic climate.”
