Drain Doctor turnover at record high

Drainage and plumbing specialist declares most profitable month for a third time in 2021

National drainage and plumbing specialist Drain Doctor posted a record month for turnover in September.

The UK-wide franchise network helped achieve the company’s most profitable month for a third time in 2021, after previously accomplishing record months in March and July.

Drain Doctor’s turnover has jumped 25 per cent since September 2020, a remarkable achievement considering the challenges and limitations enforced by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Managing director Rick Howcroft says: “It’s great to see the network’s efforts, both individually and collectively, reaping the rewards for all their hard work this year.

“We’re honoured to be able to serve more customers than ever before, helping more businesses stay open and helping more families with their homes.

“Everyone across the network has worked tirelessly to fight through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and achieving milestones such as this is a wonderful reminder of that.”

Owen Barton, Drain Doctor’s franchise recruitment manager, says: “This third record month for Drain Doctor keeps us well on track for a record year in 2021.

“As the country continues to recover from one of the most turbulent economic and political periods of recent times, Drain Doctor are delighted to have been and continue to be an essential service to our communities.

“The return of the commercial sector has seen businesses desperate for reliable and professional trades that can offer a high quality service.

“Couple that with Drain Doctor’s fantastic reputation and new innovative marketing techniques and it has created the perfect opportunity to help our franchise owners grow their businesses. 

“A record number of franchisees are now looking to order new vans and equipment and recruit further local engineers.”

Drain Doctor covers 65 locations across the UK.
