Envirocare Heads for Birmingham

On October 1^st and 2^nd 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.

Dave, Envirocare MD will be taking the Sales and Marketing team down to Birmingham for the two day show and is excited at the prospect of meeting potential franchisees.  “Interest in our franchise has been remarkable, but it’s no surprise as we have such a lot to offer.  The NEC exhibition gives us the chance to present first hand our business opportunity and get to know the kind of people who are looking to transform their lives and careers by becoming their own boss.”

If you are interested in an Envirocare franchise opportunity or would like a free ticket to The National Franchise Exhibition give the team a call on 0800 0283329.

Envirocare Grounds Maintenance have recently teamed up with Business Link North West and are currently working together to develop a comprehensive and far reaching programme which will offer staff greater opportunities for self development.  Business Link Adviser Paul Taylor this week visited the head office at New Inn Farm to discuss with Finance Manager, Janine Yates training and development opportunities for both office based and front line staff.  Paul said “Business Link will source the best training providers and courses to meet the needs of Envirocare and ensure that all available funding for skills development is accessed.”  As a result of the meeting, Envirocare has already signed up to Skills Pledge Plus, a funding stream derived from the European Union Social Fund, in this case aiming to improve the skills of the workforce.  Janine said “this is a really positive move for Envirocare and re-emphasizes our commitment to our employees.”  Paul Taylor added “when businesses invest in employee development they benefit from a boost in staff morale, in-house skills can also save company money.”

David Yates, Managing Director of Envirocare Grounds Maintenance has announced their first Franchisee covering the Carlisle area has been trading since the middle of July with the next three franchisees in Chester, Milton Keynes and Newcastle scheduled to be live by the middle of September and anticipates their first 10 Franchisees will be live by early 2011.

 David added “the preferential terms we’re offering to their first 10 Franchisees have been very well received, not least because these terms show the commitment we have to developing a successful Franchise Network”. David also confirmed Envirocare are prepared to reserve access to these exclusive terms for potential franchisees for a period of 28 days, where they wished to follow up their initial expression of interest, although due to demand he anticipates the exclusive terms would not be available after September.
