The National Franchise Exhibition at the NEC Birmingham proved to be a real team effort for Envirocare Maintenance Solutions.

The show, Envirocare’s first at the NEC, was well attended by prospective franchisees and Janine, Lindsay and Angie certainly did their bit to promote the company’s exciting franchise opportunity.  “We had a really great weekend,” said Business Development manager Lindsay Roxburgh, “we spoke to lots of interesting people, their reasons for considering a franchise varied – redundancy, business investment opportunities, a change of direction…but all really impressed with Envirocare’s franchise model”.

Financial Controller Janine Yates saw a different side to this year’s show.  “We came down to the exhibition last year when we were first considering franchising, just for a look at what it was all about, it’s quite amazing how far we’ve come in just 12 months.  Talking to people about the business just reaffirms the success of our years of hard work; we truly have something good to offer.  Although we’ve expanded considerably, we pride ourselves in holding onto the family ethos – everyone matters at Envirocare.”

Summer 2010 has seen big changes in the Roxburgh household as mum Lindsay ‘packed up’ her travel business and ‘checked in’ with Envirocare as their new Business Development Manager. (more…)

On October 1st and 2nd, Birmingham NEC will host The National Franchise Exhibition, this is the only franchise exhibition in Birmingham to be supported by the British Franchise Association (BFA) and only allows franchise companies that have met the Association’s code of ethics to exhibit at the event. This means visitors can be confident in the franchise opportunities presented, as they are an ethical entity within the UK market. (more…)

Unlike those attending its sister festival in Reading, this year’s Leeds festival goers enjoyed a weekend of sunshine at the annual live music event.  Thousands packed into the venue at Braham Park and were entertained for three days by an impressive lineup of bands and solo artists both old and new.

But who cleans up after the revelers?  Envirocare Maintenance Solutions came up trumps when they bid for the massive tidy up on the August Bank Holiday weekend. (more…)

Paul Shipley, Franchise Manager of Envirocare has announced Envirocare will offer to it’s first 10 Franchisees exclusive terms including a reduced initial Franchise Fee of £34,400 + VAT (representing a discount of 20%) and access to funding that would require Franchsees to pay an initial deposit of £10,000 and payment of the balance, without application of interest, over a period of 36 months to Envirocare, thus removing the need to obtain funding from a bank. Commenting on this announcement Paul Shipley said the terms we’re being offered to help establish the Franchise Network in response to need of the business to deliver it’s services to a rapidly expanding client base across the UK.

He added future Franchisees would not be offered these terms and if funding was required would need to approach the Banks with whom he emphasised Envirocare have good working relationships reflected in their willingness to lend up to 70% of the initial cost of the franchise and working capital.
