Andy Cornell took control of his future with ChipsAway
INVESTMENT LEVEL: FROM £29,995
n 2011, having faced redundancy twice in three years during his career as a sales and marketing director, Andy Cornell took a change of direction. Five years down the line, Andy has been crowned third-time Business Mentor of the Year and Franchisee of the Year 2016 at ChipsAway’s annual conference. “I liked the idea of being able to set up and run my own company without the risks associated with a new startup. I wanted a

business that was fl exible, not massively expensive, with the potential for growth. “I looked at a number of franchises, but ChipsAway appealed out for various reasons. First of all, I had an interest in cars. Secondly, the backup of a well- known and respected brand – ChipsAway stood out in terms of reputation and marketing. You have a steady fl ow of leads and customers from day one. “From the initial enquiry, right through to contract negotiations, ChipsAway were extremely helpful, but also forthright about the opportunities and possible pitfalls. The information at all stages was very detailed, thorough and honest. “The initial four-week product training was superb. It was then followed up three months later by a further week of more in-depth dent repair techniques, which then allowed me to then tackle bigger projects for customers. “There is ongoing training available
whenever you need it and complimentary courses like social media marketing, vehicle lease hand back assessment and training in new products and services which, again, allows you to add new services and revenue streams to your business.” Initially, Andy was concerned about how quickly he could generate a reasonable income, but his business was profi table straight away. “If you are prepared to put the eff ort in,
the earning potential is very good from day one. If you expand and open a Car Care Centre, you can make a very healthy income and build a business with proven value – as and when you decide to sell it on. “There’s a visible track record of success with ChipsAway, and if you have any issues with your business, there are people able and willing to off er specialist advice. “Owning my own business is extremely liberating – no one can make me redundant or have an eff ect on my life apart from me. Every decision I make is for the good of my business and my family.”
