Leading the way
SPECIAL FEATURE
‘No previous experience needed!’ You'll hear that
phrase a lot in franchising since you may not need a background in the sector you’re joining! That’s why management franchises – where you work on, rather than in the business – are well suited to those with leadership and people skills. Sound like you? Read on…
NIC Services Group A
ndy Galloway lives in Scotland where he runs his business. Originally in finance, Andy found NIC Services Group a persuasive opportunity. He says: "My
background was in accounting and finance, spending many years with one of the large banks before joining the family business as financial director. I decided to look at a different career path and embrace a new challenge and looked at franchising as an option. "It soon became apparent that franchising is a much safer option when starting your own business as it’s a tried-and- tested model. What drew me to NIC was the knowledge and experience of the team. I could see that it wasn’t just a ‘cleaning company’ and that the professionalism of the staff and the services offered was excellent and with an industry worth over £8.8billion within the UK, I knew that I would be able to build and grow a successful business. "As someone completely new to the cleaning and support
services industry I found the training and support to be absolutely invaluable. All the information and systems are in place from the start to enable anyone to grow and develop their business while providing the best service.
Andy Galloway u "I enjoy a greater work-life balance
now. Although there is a lot of hard work involved in running your own business, I have a greater degree of flexibility. I am now able to go watch my son play football, which I was rarely able to before. "To make a success as a franchisee it's essential to have energy and drive, together with a positive, customer-focused attitude. In terms of looking forwards, I will be seeking to further expand my business – I want to concentrate on building and growing, which is something I can do with the support of the NIC network. "I would absolutely recommend (and I have) both
franchising and a franchise with NIC to others. If you are looking to take control of your and your family's futures then a management franchise like NIC could be exactly what you are looking for."
