About Desjoyaux Pools
In 1966 Frenchman Jean Desjoyaux built a swimming pool for his family. Their response to the pool, and its effect on his family, made him realise that this was a highly desirable and saleable product. Initially, there was a single, standard model that was only available to private, residential clients. Basic kits were available for DIY customers.
In addition to launching a business, Desjoyaux began an ongoing program of innovation with both building pools and related products and equipment. The company now builds standard to luxury and indoor and outdoor and heated pools for residential and commercial clients. Further, they offer pool renovations, products, and equipment. Spas were also added to the product portfolio to meet the growing demand for them.
Desjoyaux Pools is now represented in 80 countries and continues to grow. The company is actively seeking franchisees who will be a good fit for the business, and who can reach customers in their areas. The U.K. is one country where franchises are beginning to be rolled out successfully.

Income is not guaranteed as it depends on several factors including the amount and quality of work done by you. The company does indicate, though, that given stock requirements are low you should begin to see profits in the first year.

Although Desjoyaux Pools provides an ongoing effective national sales and marketing campaign that each franchise benefits from, you will be responsible for marketing in your territory using the proven and approved strategy. You will receive training in this regard.
Word-of-mouth is always an excellent source of promotion and marketing so ensuring all your clients are happy is a very important and valuable.
Is this the best franchise of its type in the UK?

The system offers benefits to pool owners that others don’t. Secondly, these pools have excellent green credentials: the structural panels are manufactured from 100 per cent recycled materials and the filtration system is chlorine-free.
In addition, the company continues to carry out research and development to introduce new, patented products and systems. Finally, the company caters for private and corporate customers and build from small to very large pools. This means the customer base is large.
