aul Rees is a Zerodrytime franchisee based in Solihull, West Midlands. He says: “I was a police


officer for  years before seeral short ter obs  fro care worer to drier to postman. Then, I attended The National Franchise Exhibition in Birmingham on a day off – more out of curiosity than anything else. Following a chat with the approachable


and inforatie erodrytie tea  found the inforation on products and serice were clear and concise, and presented a logical way forward to start a business. erything was eplained that day


and after a followup with erodrytie a friend and I decided to take the plunge in a joint enterprise. The process was quick and smooth. The initial two weeks’ training and support were ery thorough and left me feeling upbeat and ready to start work. A fortunate quirk of fate meant it was the busy Christmas period, and we were asked to stay on a further two weeks to work with the Newcastle team. This additional intensie two wees was a aluable bonus. Once we started our own business, the ongoing support was excellent – from the head office tea to the fellow franchisees. The standout moment so far would


hae to be the arrial of oid and the initial thought that we would 'fold' if things carried on for too long. As it transpired, we suried the initial locdown and found ourseles etreely busy between further lockdowns. This helped us to pull through without any major issues. No goernent loans were reuired. Operating in the cleaning sector


means that work is on a continuous loop, so if a client uses your serices you can eep their custom for years, as they may need you to do the same work  onths later or reuire a different, or additional serice. ranchisees need to be physically fit able to do similar work daily,

and willing to keep working at things. en if eerything sees to be going smoothly, always put safety measures in place (spare kit etc) and keep marketing your business locally. I'd recommend franchising –


and doing so with Zerodrytime – without hesitation … take all the wisdom onboard that you can from those in the industry, and particularly when the sae adice comes from a number of different sources! As a newcomer to running a business, I found this inaluable.
