Three Wise Men join Oven Wizards!!

Oven Wizards are very pleased to announce that they have successfully helped three new Franchisees, who all set Oven Wizards the challenge of wanting to be up and running before the pre-Christmas oven cleaning rush.

They have sprinkled a bit of Oven Wizards magic, and quite a large dollop of blood ,sweat (and a few tears), to make their dreams come true, and given them each an early Christmas present.

Tony Puttock , who has taken an Oven Wizards Territory in Worthing and Arundel, was the first of the Three Wise Men to launch his business successfully in the middle of November. The launch activity and support Tony has received has kept him very busy during his first few weeks.

Tony said,“I was looking for a tried and tested business with a great reputation. When I enquired about Oven Wizards, I received a quick and polite response to my initial enquiry, which wasn’t pushy and with no pressure to join. John and Mark have provided great training and support. They are very professional and are always on the end of the phone when I need any help.”

John Graham, Managing Director, Oven Wizards said “Tony and his partner Elizabeth, have embraced the Oven Wizards model well, and followed our guidelines to the letter. This has helped their new business get off to a fantastic start. They are a great new asset to the Oven Wizards community, we look forward to working with them to help build their successful new Oven Wizards business”

Tony went on to say – “My initial launch of the business has been beyond my expectations, with over one month of bookings taken. My partner Elizabeth loves the colour purple and we are looking forward to building and growing our oven cleaning business, under the Oven Wizards brand name”

David Allen, who has taken the Walsall Territory and Adrian Bartlett, who has taken a Territory in York and the Wolds have both launched their own Oven Wizards businesses in their respective Territories during November. David said “Everyone connected with Oven Wizards has been friendly and supportive. I found the training very comprehensive and felt prepared to go out and start my business once it was completed.”

John Graham said,” 2016 has been another great year for us, and 2017 looks like being even better. We have thoroughly enjoyed sharing our business ethos with our new franchisees. It is great to see them doing so well in their own territories.”

”We are now getting good National coverage for Oven Wizards, but we still have Territories available for the right sort of people”.If you would like to join Oven Wizards in the New Year please contact us on 01367 850162 for an initial chat, or visit our website at http://www.ovenwizards.com/franchise/

She said “I’ve only come to Tescos today to get my oven booked in for a clean and to claim my discount. I’m not here to do any shopping, me and my friend are now off out for lunch”

David said “ My launch has been a fantastic success and far exceeded my expectations. I’m now fully booked for the next few weeks and I know i will get lots more bookings from clients who took away one of my leaflets”

Oven Wizards’ Kevin Brown realises his investment.

Oven Wizards are pleased to report that one of their Franchisees has successfully realised his investment by selling his business to another well-established Franchisee.

Kevin Brown, formerly the business owner of Oven Wizards Colchester, has sold his business to Ian Keddie, business owner of Oven Wizards Dartford.

Kevin said of his time with Oven Wizards –

“I had been looking for a franchise for a long time and had seen many, but as soon as I met John Graham and Mark Abbott, Directors of Oven Wizards, I knew this was the one I was looking for. It was a great business and both John and Mark were excellent with the information and help they gave. I had my business for 4 and a half years and in that time they gave me all the support I needed by either helping with any problems I had or leaving me to it if I wanted that”.  

Kevin went on to say,

“From the start it was very good investment and continued to grow year on year. It exceeded the expectations I had formed from what I thought I had been told by John. I sold my business for health reasons as I could no longer clean ovens. The process of selling the business was made very easy for me as John took a major role in helping me. I am very pleased with the price I achieved on the sale as it was 3 times the price of the franchise fee.

Looking back I am really glad that I took the decision to buy a franchise with Oven Wizards as John and Mark run a very professional company. They look after their franchisee's and care about their business. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.’

Ian Keddie said -“The reason I bought Kevin’s business was to help me expand my existing operation and to allow me to manage the business instead of working in it. It's obviously easier taking an existing business over with somebody already working that area. 

The help I received from Mark was great and covered things that I had not thought of.” 

John Graham, Managing Director, Oven Wizards said- “It was great to see two of our Franchisees coming together in this transaction for their mutual business benefit. Kevin has been a top Franchisee and we have really enjoyed working with him to help him initially launch and grow his business, to the point he has now realised his investment with the sale.

Ian has been with Oven Wizards for over 10 years and it’s great to be able to help him as he continues to grow his successful oven cleaning business”

He went on to say “We are now firmly established as the 3rd largest oven cleaning Franchise in the UK, and with an initial Franchise Fee of £12500, we believe we still offer the best value for money oven cleaning Franchise in the market.”

Oven Wizards becomes Full Member of the bfa

Oven Wizards has been upgraded to Full Membership of the British Franchise Association (bfa) in recognition of its sustained franchising performance.

The highest level of bfa membership, it's a stature reserved only for those franchisors that have demonstrated a successful trading, financial and franchising record over an extended period of time. The accreditation process also includes an examination of franchisee performance and the opportunity for confidential feedback.

Kelly Blackmore-Lee, head of compliance and finance for the bfa, said: "The attainment of Full Membership is a testament to the long-term investment in ethical franchising shown by Oven Wizards. Mark and John have worked hard to develop their network according to high standards and in support of their Franchisees. We look forward to working with them as that development continues."

The news comes as Oven Wizards builds on a record-breaking year. Demand for Franchisees' services was at its highest-ever level in the last 12 months, with December especially busy for the network. Managing director John Graham said that demand has extended into January in what has been an excellent start to 2016 for the company.

He commented: "Becoming a full member of the bfa is fantastic news for Oven Wizards. This is a further acknowledgement by the bfa that the work we have been doing behind the scenes to ensure new and existing Franchisees have the best possible support to run their own successful oven cleaning businesses, is paying dividends. We take great pride in helping our Franchisees grow their own businesses, under the Oven Wizards brand name, in their chosen Territories”

The bfa is the 'voice of ethical franchising in the UK' and as such has strict and extensive criteria for companies wishing to become accredited to pass, before they can become members.

Graham concluded "it is great to have achieved “full” membership status in such a relatively short period of time. We look forward to sharing our successful business ethos with even more new recruits to our community, as the Oven Wizards brand becomes even stronger”
