Home Maintenance Franchise Recruitment Success

Blazes’ home maintenance franchise has recruited 10 new franchisees.

Billed as a low-cost franchise alternative to its existing retail franchise, the new opportunity has proved a success since its launch at the Manchester Franchise Exhibition just over a year ago.

Managing director Michael Eyre says: “The Blazes home-based franchise is proving a much more successful model than we originally anticipated. The returns for our franchisees have exceeded expectations, with sales and target earnings 50% higher than our initial projections – including December and January when installations are generally lower than at other times of the year.

Scrappage Scheme Helps Home Maintenance Franchise

The government’s boiler scrappage scheme has boosted Blazes’ enquiries by 1,000%.

The scheme, which was announced in Alistair Darling’s pre-budget report at the end of last year and launched on 5 January, aimed to encourage the estimated 4.5 million households with G-rated boilers to replace them with A-rated boilers that emit less carbon.

The response from the public has been so enthusiastic that the Energy Savings Trust, which oversees the scheme, has struggled to clear the backlog of applications. In the first month alone, around 40,000 people applied for the £400 cash-back vouchers, snapping up a third of the 125,000 available.

Steve Bate took on a Blazes home maintenance franchise in October 2009 as a bolt-on to his existing business.

For 10 years, the couple have been running a candle manufacturing and retail business in Ribble Valley, Lancashire. However, due to the seasonal nature of the business, they decided to look for an additional revenue stream to supplement their existing income.
