Drive your future forward with a Mac Tools franchise INVESTMENT LEVEL: FROM £5,000
ne of the joys of having your offi ce right on your doorstep is the ease with which you can get going in a morning. A van-based franchise is
perfect for someone who enjoys being behind the wheel, relishes the idea of taking your offi ce-shop everywhere, and wants to make the most from engaging with customers. A Mac Tools franchise enables you to fuel your passions for tools and running your own business.
Inspired by others More often than not, we like to inspire people to follow in our footsteps. For Graham and Kerry Flatman, they were so inspired by their son, Matt, as he set up his new Mac Tools franchise, they ended up following in his footsteps! “We were actively looking for a new opportunity when we visited the bfa- supported franchise exhibition last year. But it was when we went out with another Mac Tools franchisee, and we saw his joy for what he was doing as he met with customers and spoke about the quality of the tools he was demonstrating, that we knew we had found what we were looking for.”
Nigel Hammond, franchisee for Southampton, agrees: “I quickly assessed that a Mac Tools franchise off ered good value for money with great ongoing support. Other franchises didn’t off er the same level of help, and often included high monthly charges.” With a minimum investment from £5,000 to £15,000, as a Mac Tools franchisee you receive exceptional training and ongoing support while you stock your Mac Tools van with the world-class product range, available as part of the $12billion global Stanley Black & Decker organisation. “Lack of previous knowledge hasn’t held us back,” says Graham. “The support from head offi ce and other franchisees has been great. Through group meetings, quick calls when we have a question, or even from some of my customers who delight in teasing me as they teach me, I’m learning every day!” Now, within a year, all three Flatmans have plans of how to make the most of their future investments with Mac Tools. Graham and Kerry are looking forward to
Franchisees Graham and Kerry Flatman, and their son Matt Flatman
building up the business, which includes having more vans on the road so they can retire, leaving Matt to run everything, a prospect he is really excited about.
Getting started With an opportunity to earn more than £50,000 to £75,000 per annum as your own boss in a market worth £150million, the hard work needed in establishing your Mac Tools franchise, coupled with the ongoing support of the Mac Tools community and head offi ce team, quickly drives you toward success. Graham, Kerry and Matt recognised franchising as being benefi cial for them and their future plans. With having the support of the network and the expertise of those who have gone before to learn from, this allowed them to be free to focus
on what they love doing best. Graham says: “I love being out on the
road in the van, meeting new people and building new relationships with my clients – mechanics love the banter. Mac Tools has been ideal for all of us to achieve this balance in our careers.”
If this sounds like the kind of life you would love, then a van-based franchise with Mac Tools may be the best fi t to drive you closer to your future career.
