hen you’re working every hour and feeling nothing but stress, it may be time to consider other options. This is exactly
the scenario Chris McLoughlin faced in his role as compliance manager for a major supermarket. Before Chris could act on his thoughts, however, he was made redundant and unexpectedly had some big decisions to make. “It was interesting timing,” says Chris. “I had to decide whether to move to a new role that I didn’t particularly want, to find a job with a new company, or to try self-employment.
“It was at this stage that I remembered an article I’d seen in the paper – which I don’t normally read, so it must have been serendipity – where there was a big spread on franchising, and among the companies featured was Ovenclean. With a background in catering, the prospect
of cleaning ovens didn’t worry me, so I decided to investigate further.” Chris received some initial information
from head office and spent a day with another franchisee, observing how things worked. “After that, I was sold,” says Chris. “I liked the flexibility of the lifestyle and that you really do get out what you put in. It appealed to me that my own hard work would reap benefits for me, not for someone else!” Chris’s partner had yet to be convinced.
“She’s observed my spending patterns over the years and knew that I was used to having a regular wage,” admits Chris. “She was worried that I wouldn’t adjust accordingly, and concerned about my not having enough work. But it took just one visit to an open day to convince her! She was really impressed.
“The chief executive explained that the model works when combined with application, dedication, a real work ethic
and good marketing. He emphasised that it’s not for people who don’t want to work hard – but I did – that’s what I was used to, and he’s been proved right. The benefits were very quick to come and my partner and I are both delighted. I should have made the move years ago!”
Chris plans to have a second van in the
future, but for now, commands his own hours and enjoys spending time with his family. He markets regularly, enjoys big returns on his campaigns and receives word-of-mouth recommendations.
