Franchise Spotlight: Pitman Training
Thursday, September 11, 2008 at 3:18PM We spoke to David Shimwell, franchise development director at Pitman Training, about their franchise opportunity.
Q: What makes Pitman Training an attractive franchise?
A: Any successful franchise usually has a strong brand attached to it – that’s what you get with us. Also, any franchise with the number of locations that we do – 100 – has also had the experience to adjust the business model. So in summary, it’s a strong brand and a proven business model.
Q: What would you look for in a franchisee?
A: Someone who is fairly driven to be successful and competitive. And someone, because we have a premium product that comes with a relevant price tag, with sales ability.
Staff are an integral part of the business so you also need to be able to manage and motivate staff.
