Franchise Focus Going to plan
Business is blooming for ChipsAway franchisee Oliver Edwards
INVESTMENT LEVEL: £29,995 N
ow well into his fifth year as a franchisee with leading automotive paintwork repairs brand ChipsAway – and with wife Katherine expecting their
second child – Oliver Edwards is busier than ever before, having just completed his best month yet!
Oliver was no stranger to self- employment, with experience running several petrol stations prior to joining ChipsAway. After a change in management structure meant he no longer had the autonomy he enjoyed, he realised it was time for a change and ChipsAway offered him the perfect solution.
“It was an easy decision. My Dad knew of a ChipsAway franchisee locally who was doing really well, so I booked to attend an open day and the rest, as they say, is
history! Less than a month later, I was on the training course and thoroughly enjoying the start of my journey to becoming a ChipsAway franchisee!” says Oliver. Part of the plan had always been to move down to Hampshire to be closer to Katherine’s relatives. So, last July, with plans for another child and their house sold, they made the big decision to up sticks and leave Bradford, where Oliver had grown and developed his business for the past four years.
“Being part of a franchise made the decision to move to a new area and effectively set up my business all over again much easier, as I knew I would have the support and security of leads coming through from head office. This far exceeded my expectations; in fact, I had enough work for the first six weeks without needing to do any advertising of my own!”
According to Oliver, the satisfaction of a job well done and the smile on a customer’s face when they see the finished job are some of the best rewards of being a ChipsAway franchisee. “Having worked 80 and 90-hour weeks (including Christmas Day!) in previous roles, I now enjoy being able to plan my diary to suit me and take holidays when I want to. I’m enjoying life and making a very good living from it too!” n
