Franchisee Graham Kerridge wishes he had invested in his Ovenclean business sooner


INVESTMENT LEVEL: FROM £10,000


fter 16 years working in the prison service, Graham Kerridge made the huge decision in September 2013 that it was time for


a career and a lifestyle change. He took the opportunity to invest in an Ovenclean franchise and hasn’t looked back since. Graham says: “I never anticipated that I would own my own business and be working for Ovenclean. It just happened that I was looking through a business magazine and there was an Ovenclean advert. I liked what I saw so I booked myself onto one of the open days. I was even more impressed once my wife and I had attended – we left with huge grins on our faces and were eager to get started.” Since day one, Graham claims that


he’s received fantastic support from the Ovenclean team. “I began my training with a business mentor – an established franchisee – which was extremely useful.


The team at head offi ce have provided me with emotional support, technical support and marketing advice, which made the transition from employment to self- employment very easy. They know what you need to be doing in order to get the phone ringing.”


Due to the fantastic support that Graham received from head offi ce and the hard work that he’s put into his franchise, he has been very successful.


“I’ve been fortunate enough to be very


busy; it’s always been a steady increase in work. It’s hard work but you don’t mind putting the eff ort in, as, at the end of the day, you’re the one reaping the rewards.” Graham’s life has defi nitely taken a


turn for the better since he bought into an Ovenclean franchise. “The positive feedback and remarks that you receive from customers are really rewarding and make the job worthwhile. I get a huge amount of repeat and referral business.


Graham Kerridge


Many of my customers are now not just customers, but they have also become good friends.”


When asked if he had any regrets about becoming a franchisee, Graham says: “I do have one: I just wish I would have done it sooner!”
