The market leader in drain care and repair offers committed individuals the chance to grow a commercially successful business
As the saying goes: “Where there’s muck, there’s brass.” Therefore, a drainage franchise can be a very attractive proposition to individuals seeking profitable and long lasting business opportunities.
Competition in the industry is tough and customers are increasingly looking for companies that can demonstrate professionalism, the highest standards of work, innovative solutions to problems, a commitment to health and safety - and competitive pricing too.
Metro Rod is the market leader in drain care and repair. With over 30 years’ experience across a network of 40 franchised businesses, the company offers committed individuals the chance to grow a commercially successful business with the back-up and expertise of a 24-hour, 365-daysa- year UK-based call centre and head office team of more than 100 people.
Franchisees can expect to receive advice and support across all business functions. Metro Rod has a dedicated field and office-based key accounts team who are dedicated to winning new business and managing large, multi-site customers, a finance team to manage a franchisee’s debtors, a technical support team with extensive industry knowledge to support those more complex jobs, plus business development and marketing support to help your business grow and prosper.
Wouldn’t it be great to start your business with an established customer base and trained and experienced staff? Because Metro Rod’s franchise has been running for 30 years, from time to time some of its franchisees are looking to sell their businesses to retire or move onto new projects. You can bring your new energy to the business and take it to another level.
As a Metro Rod franchisee, your business would also continue to benefit from the vast number of national key account contracts the company has developed over the years, dealing with top brands such as ASDA, Carillion, Mitie, Bupa, Next Stores, Four Seasons Health Care and JD Wetherspoon, offering the full range of drainage services at their local offices and outlets.
Metro Rod provides all the expert support you will need, so you can be sure of your abilities to cater to their individual needs and requirements.
Metro Rod believes the single most important asset within the business is the people who work in it. Therefore, it’s committed to finding the right individuals to join as franchisees.
It values three things - hard work, dedication and innovation. So if you have a drainage business and think you have these attributes, Metro Rod will welcome you into the fold.
One of the most telling factors in any franchise business is how its franchisees feel about their investment. Was it worth spending money to join an established brand?
Speaking on behalf of Metro Rod (Brighton and Gatwick) is Tony Jeeves, who said: “You know you have guaranteed work, as well as the support from head office.
“I started with the Brighton territory in 2013, but it’s going so well I have also invested in two other territories along the south coast. We’re now building our own new offices to support the larger business, with 14 engineers and related support staff.”
It’s clear Metro Rod is a viable investment for people who are dedicated to working hard in a competitive industry.
