Marla Custom Blinds recruits 3rd franchisee since December

Andrew Benson (pictured) is the blind specialist’s latest franchisee, following the recruitment of Graham and Pam Page-Wood in December and Paul McGarry in January.

Andrew will operate in south Devon and begins training on March 25.

Martin Froud, founder of Marla Custom Blinds, says: “Andrew has the enthusiasm and the ‘go get them’ qualities we are looking for and with our support I’m sure he will develop a successful business.”

Franchisees of the family owned business sell and install blinds in a range of styles and materials to residential and commercial customers, many of which are manufactured in the Marla factory based in Hampshire.

Andrew says: “My first impression of Martin and the Marla Custom Blinds franchise was that it was all very organised and that they provided an honest approach to running a successful business based on professionalism.

“I hope to emulate the first class offering that Marla Custom Blinds are currently offering.”

The initial investment for a Marla Custom Blinds franchise is £14,995, which includes £5,000 towards a comprehensive three-month launch marketing campaign, plus full training and ongoing support.
