Successful Franchises UK PlumbXpress

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

Since becoming becoming a franchisee with PlumbXpress 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 taking on my first employee. The work has been diverse, clearing drains, leaking cisterns and installing bathrooms and the volume of work has been high and of good quality   My plan is to have four vans on the road by 2009, one for each service,  gas, plumbing, drains and boilers and it is achievable.   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 did considerable research and kept coming back to PlumbXpress – they offered all the vital ingredients to enable me to earn a good living:  the credibility and support of a brand leader in the plumbing arena; a dedicated call centre with high conversion rates, and a tried and tested aggressive 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.  It has meant that I’ve grown into a multi-van operation unhampered – I truly believe the sky’s the limit as regards earnings potential.

Another unique and attractive feature of a PumbXpress franchise is that there are so no additional costs for expanding the business into a multi-van operation.  All the additional profits is yours!

Management Support

The beauty of a franchise is that you can be your own boss but can tap into all the experience, support and know-how of the franchisor.  With PlumbXpress the management support is excellent.  I had access to my own Franchise Manager for the first year, and it really was exclusive.  They were on hand permanently to answer all my questions and assuage my concerns.  They instilled confidence in me

Their  phones are ringing off the hook in their dedicated call centre and their trained operators convert a high percentage of enquiries into business.  All the jobs booked in my territory were all mine!

The support you receive after you have gained your City & Guilds Qualification is ongoing.  You can shadow one of PlumbXpress’ existing franchisees for a week if you so wish – assisting in real jobs in the real world.

There is also a two day business course at our dedicated Franchise Academy and where everything you will ever need to know to run your business is covered.

You are also allocated your own Franchise Manager for the first year.

Become a Fully Qualified Plumber in Six Weeks

Our dedicated training centre means that you can become a fully qualified plumber and gains a prestigious 6129 City & Guilds Qualification in just six weeks!  The course is intensive, but intentionally so in order that you not out of the work place for too long.  It will cover everything from leaky taps to drain clearance to bathroom installations.

A Proven Business Model

The PlumbXpress business model is proven.  The Directors have nineteen years combined experience in the industry and it shows.  Their tried and tested aggressive advertising strategy afforded by long-standing customer loyalty and economies of scale is that something that a one-man-band can only dream of.  Their experience in call-handling, marketing strategies and the industry in general is second to none.  You can benefit from all of this.

Franchisee Profile

PlumbXpress are seeking candidates who can turn their business into a viable one quickly with support.  They should have an element of ‘being handy’ and with a view to taking on a management role by turning their business into a lucrative multi-van operation within a fairly short timescale.  They don’t need to be qualified plumbers, just hard-working and focused on carving out a rewarding career in plumbing.

A Franchise with PlumbXpress – the best of both worlds.

Essentially a franchise flattens the  learning curve.  The franchisor will have ironed out all the teething problems associated with a new business, guaranteeing the franchisee early success.  The brand presence, experience, technical know-how and infrastructure take a new business years to establish.  Your franchisee fee buys this immediacy.  Also there statistics bandied around which are sobering – 50% of new businesses fail within the first five years – but 96% of franchises are still going viable after five years.

My first year’s earnings have exceeded my wildest dreams and am about to put my second van on the road, with a realistic projection of double my first year’s takings.  My plan is to have four fully-kitted vans on the road by 2008 – one for each service, plumbing, drains, gas installations and general gas repairs, and it is achievable.  You too can become a part of the PlumbXpress success story.
