What our franchisees say:

R Reece – PlumbXpress’ First Franchisee in Richmond Area:

A Franchise with PlumbXpress – a low risk, Xpress route to success

Since becoming a franchisee with PlumbXpresss in May 2006 – I haven’t looked back – I haven’t had the time to. I have been so busy that at the start of my second year I am launching my second and third vans. My plan is to have four vans on the road by the end of 2007. This will cover all aspects of plumbing, drainage and gas work, including boiler breakdowns and installations. In my first year I turned over a staggering £96,000 which translated into 62k net profit – how many new businesses can boast that?

Huge Potential From Exclusively Large Territories

I was well aware of the statistics that 50% of new businesses fail within the first five years – but 96% of franchises are still going after five years. During my considerable research I kept coming back to PlumbXpress – they offered everything I was looking for: the credibility and support of a brand leader in the plumbing industry; a dedicated call centre with high conversion rates and a successful advertising strategy. The main factor however which influenced my decision, and which sets PlumbXpress apart from the rest, was the exclusively large territories on offer. This has been fundamental to my early success. My large territory means that I can, with the support of PlumbXpress, develop my business into a multi van operation. The expansion of my business comes at no additional cost since I do not have to buy another territory.

Management Support

Franchising appealed to me as I felt I could only benefit from the experience and expertise of a successful business set up. Becoming part of the PlumbXpress team meant that I reduced the learning curve associated with new business start ups. I was able to benefit from all the experience, support and know-how of PlumbXpress. The management support is excellent. After my initial business training, they were always on hand to answer all my questions help with any concerns I had. They instilled confidence in me and really helped me with all aspects of developing my new business.

My first year’s earnings have exceeded my wildest dreams and am about to put additional vans on the road, with a realistic projection to more than double my first year’s takings. Becoming part of the PlumbXpress team has given me the opportunity to own a highly profitable plumbing company.
