Business Women in Franchising

Previous life
Diana was originally a nurse at St Bartholomew’s Hospital in London, then trained to be a therapeutic Masseur and ran her own successful business for thirteen years.
“I was looking for a new challenge and my husband Barry and I had always wanted to work together.” They began to look for an opportunity that took advantage of Barry’s experience and Diana’s strong business skills.

How they got involved with The Garage Conversion Company
Diana’s ease and ability to communicate with customers teamed with Barry’s building skills made The Garage Conversion Company the ideal franchise choice for them. “We first saw the opportunity in a national newspaper and then eventually signed up and opened our franchise in February 2006,” explains Diana.

Diana and Barry have two sons, Christopher, 22 and Oliver, 21 who are supportive of their parents business.

Diana’s secrets to success…
“Working as a team has enabled us to keep the overheads to a minimum which is important when running your own business, our customers like the fact that we are a husband and wife team it gives them a sense of confidence that the job will be done properly, I personally feel that people feel less intimidated by a female sales person and our customers have always commented on my professionalism and friendly approach when meeting for the first time,” says Diana.

What Richard Benning, Co-Director of The Garage Conversion Company says:
“Diana and Barry are such lovely people. Diana’s experience of running her own business for many years has had a positive impact on their ability to run their own Garage Conversion Company franchise. We are pleased with their progress and look forward to assisting them with their future goal of taking on other teams to install the garage conversions.”
