Environment
With vast experience of the service industry, Redcar based
family Samantha and Matthew French have just embarked on a new chapter
of their career, having started their own franchise business with
Chem-Dry. Samantha’s experience and background has mainly centered
around the catering and hospitality industries, which has proved a good
grounding to develop teamwork and people skills. Whereas Matthew holds
solid knowledge of the carpet cleaners industry, having recently finished an apprenticeship,
which encompassed providing cleaning and restoration services in
domestic homes and commercial businesses.
Given the current economic climate, setting up your franchise could be a frightening
proposition and although the Chem-Dry Cleveland team have no prior experience of
managing their own business, they will benefit from Samantha’s background in the
service industry and Matthew’s knowledge of the marketplace. This combination will
provide an ideal platform to make their new Chem-Dry carpet and upholstery cleaning
and disaster restoration franchise successfully.
People with service backgrounds, find running a franchise business the ideal
transition into managing their own business and the benefits this presents. They
tend to possess good people and communication skills required to grow and develop a
franchise business within a local community.
Samantha French, Proprietor of Chem-Dry Cleveland, comments “Although we are new to
the business ownership game, our combine skills will prove handy and are
transferable. This is a big challenge for both Matthew and I, however we so
impressed with Chem-Dry cleaning process that when the opportunity arose to purchase
a Chem-Dry franchise we decided to take up the challenge of running our own
business”.
Mark Richardson, Marketing Executive, Chem-Dry Franchising, comments “franchising
attracts a diverse group of people from different backgrounds, with different
skills, circumstances and business experiences. We wish Samantha and Matthew every
success as their new venture begins and Chem-Dry Franchising will be on hand to
provide support as and when required. We are delighted to welcome Chem-Dry Cleveland
to the Chem-Dry cleaning franchises network”.
Chem-Dry Cleveland became part of the national Chem-Dry network in 2002 and has been
independently owned and operated by Samantha and Matthew French since 2011. The
domestic and commercial carpet and upholstery cleaning business is evolving through
the provision of exceptional service to both their domestic and commercial customers
to various parts of Cleveland.
