A HANDY FRANCHISE THATS ALWAYS IN DEMAND 0800 Handyman Ltd |
 
| Press release date: 28-Oct-2009 A HANDY FRANCHISE THAT’S ALWAYS IN DEMAND 0800 Handyman is pleased to announce the launch of its first new franchise operation outside the Greater London area.Julian Henthorn has launched the latest branch in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. Julian previously managed a tools and garage equipment franchise and was keen to continue being his own boss. The business is owned by The Zockoll Group, whose Chairman, Jim Zockoll founded and developed Dyno-Rod, one of the UK's most successful franchised services. It started trading in 2001 and is already well established in the London area, where it is the leading player with a proven reputation for service excellence. Now, with a highly experienced franchise management team, 0800 Handyman is expanding, creating exciting and rewarding business ownership opportunities based on a winning service formula. Julian’s new business specialises in tackling the small DIY tasks and odd jobs that people don’t have the time, inclination or expertise to carry out themselves. Julian tells us: “I discovered there was a real gap in my local area for a professional handyman service. While there are plenty of specialist contractors to deal with the bigger and more costly jobs, and many odd-job men around, there was no one offering a quality service for handling the multitude of little jobs that never seem to get done!” Having spent 15 years running his own business, Julian was keen to continue being his own boss. He tells us: “Going into business with 0800 Handyman was the perfect fit for me.” “I have the benefit of working in partnership with an established organisation with all the experience to help me run a successful business, but I’m still in control of my own destiny.” Says Julian: “No task is too small, we’ll put up shelves, change light fittings, assemble furniture, mount plasma screens, change locks or repair a dripping tap.” In fact, Julian says he is a ‘man for all reasons’. 0800 Handyman understand their customers’ time is at a premium so specific appointment times are booked rather than morning or afternoon slots. Charges are sensibly based on half hour increments so that the amount invoiced is a more accurate reflection of the time the work takes. All staff undergo strict vetting procedures, including police checks so clients can be assured of the highest levels of security. Their workmanship is backed by a no quibble guarantee and the company is fully insured. Julian concludes: “Each day presents a new challenge and its great being out and about meeting people in my local community. People call me out because they have a specific task that they need help with, so I get great job satisfaction with each job, knowing that when I leave a clients’ property I’ve resolved a problem for them!” Clive Smith, Managing Director, 0800 Handyman said: “We’re delighted to welcome Julian on board. He brings a wealth of valuable business management experience to the company and I have every confidence he will make a real success of his new venture in Wakefield.” Build your own service business that’s always in demand – a professional handyman service.
The work is varied, being of a no-specialist nature. We operate on a ‘Fit 4 U’ basis, which means that usually we will only fit items or parts that the customer already has.
