FRANCHISEFOCUS IN V ESTMENT: FROM £ 17,500 A fresh new start
Mark Rowley found the challenge he desired with a Clear Brew franchise
only did he want a new challenge, but he also wanted a role that would allow him to continue his important position as a councillor for Kettering Borough Council. Today, he is enjoying a completely new way of life – running his own business helping publicans and other licensees get the best out of their beer while reducing waste.
A Mark has launched a Clear Brew
franchise in Northampton, bringing the highly successful cleaning service to the area’s licensed premises. The Clear Brew system enables
licensees to arrange for cleaning services to be carried out on their cellar system every three weeks instead of once a week – helping to avoid waste that often occurs during a clean, while still ensuring pipes and pumps remain in top condition. The new role is a completely different
way of working for Mark, taking him to pubs, bars, nightclubs, social clubs, sports clubs, hotels, cinemas, bingo halls and more to clean kegs and cask lines.
"I was eager to use my knowledge to develop my own business ... the opportunity to launch a Clear Brew franchise seemed perfect"
It’s a long way from the three decades he spent working in IT – 20 of those in IT procurement – for various companies, including GKN, IMI, RS Components and Herbert Smith Freehills.
He had reached a point in 2013 where he wanted to explore “fresh and exciting”

prospects and branched out alone into procurement contracts. His clients included Wellcome Trust, Arm Ltd and Clyde & Co. Despite his success, Mark wanted to challenge himself even further. Keen for fresh and exciting prospects that allowed him to be a business owner, he sought out new opportunities in the franchise marketplace. Franchise businesses are increasingly popular and make it possible for people to enjoy the benefits of running their own business using an already proven, tried-and-tested, successful model. Mark’s search led him to the Clear
Brew franchise – the number-one beer line cleaning service in the UK – which he realised gave him the chance to not just have his own business but also continue his role as a Kettering Borough councillor. The next step was to visit the Clear Brew head office in Falmouth, Cornwall, where he was impressed by the opportunities offered
by the franchise and the potential for running his own business. “It was obvious that the Clear Brew
franchise was the way forward,” he says. “I was eager to use my knowledge to develop my own business. The opportunity to launch a Clear Brew franchise in Northampton seemed a perfect way forward.” Now at the helm of his own beer line cleaning franchise, Clear Brew Northampton, Mark is ready to get started with a new chapter. He confirms: “I’m looking forward to offering a quality service and growing the business.” l
