Garden Office Franchise UK Garden Lodges

Garden Lodges is a Management Franchise in the modular building sector. We provide an exciting range of next generation habitable garden offices and lifestyle buildings that are factory built to perfection, with hundreds of happy customers across the UK.

As a Garden Lodges™ franchisee you’ll be joining the market leader and enjoying the right to operate within a large territory, with the benefit of our total commitment to helping you succeed.

The Market
We are servicing 2 core markets; garden offices for homeworking, and lifestyle buildings for the home improvement sector. Both markets are buoyant and very much in their infant stages. In addition, we also supply our products to nationwide house builders, property developers, schools, day care nurseries, nursing homes, and many other un-tapped niche markets. Repeat business clients include Bloor Homes and Jacuzzi.

The market for home working is growing at a rapid rate, with a recent survey revealing that 8 million people are operating commercially from home. Our products provide a comfortable, secure and professional working environment without the usual distractions associated with working from home. This allows you to separate your office from your living space and regain one of the rooms in your home, bringing balance back to your work life.

In addition to the homeworking market, the home improvement sector is worth £12BIL. The combination of rising property prices and the substantial cost and inconvenience of moving merely to gain extra space is no longer a viable option for most people. Our products typically cost less than an extension or a loft conversion, add significant value to your house, and are completed in a fraction of the time, giving you high-tech living space fast, and with minimal disruption, usually without the need for planning permission.

Why It Works
The Garden Lodges™ Franchise model works because it addresses the geographical constraints associated with our nationwide sales process and eliminates additional costs not relevant on a local level, therefore increasing our competitiveness.

Our products follow the same principle as test driving a car and very much sell themselves. Your High Impact Showroom will be used for convenient local customer viewings, but can also double as the office where you run your Garden Lodges™ Franchise business. We provide a complete showroom display kit including brochure holders, A1 posters in frames, and sample books. We also provide external branding material including an A-board and a flag pole.

We will help you identify a busy, high foot traffic local garden centre for your showroom. This will provide an additional level of lead generation and regular foot traffic, to support your local awareness campaigns and our national marketing and PR campaigns. Garden centre site rental is significantly cheaper and less complex than negotiating retail leases.

Our well developed prefabrication process has been designed to produce flat-pack versions of our product range, shipped directly to your customers address. Your dedicated team of fully trained and certified subcontractors complete the installation process, leaving you free to focus on marketing and building your business. It’s like property development in a box!

Training & Support
An intensive training course at our Head Office deals with all elements of our business regardless of your prior experience. Franchisees also receive ongoing support, and we are committed to helping you grow your business
