Jan Pro launches first master franchise in the UK
Jan Pro is a franchised contract cleaning business that was set up in the US in 1991. Cleaning is executed by highly motivated owner operators trained to the highest standards. In the last 2 years Jan Pro has become the fastest growing franchise on the planet.
Gavin Peacock brought the Jan Pro franchise in the UK and is Managing Director of Jan Pro Ireland & UK. According to Gavin, “I chose the Jan Pro model because of its great reputation around the world for delivering astonishing return on investment for franchisees and market leading standards for clients coupled with the ability to shape it to satisfy the needs of the UK market.
Globally, in the contract cleaning business, the average contract between a business and their cleaning company usually lasts around 8 months whereas with Jan Pro the average contract length is 7 years. That sort of brand loyalty speaks for itself.”
Jan Pro has already been introduced in the Republic of Ireland where, with 48 franchisees signed up over the last 15 months, it is the fastest growing franchise in the country. John Bell recently introduced Jan Pro to Northern Ireland, he says, “I hope to replicate the success of Jan Pro Ireland in Northern Ireland. We are close to signing our first franchisee and in the next twelve months we hope to add up to 60 more. “
Jan Pro UK is now looking for suitable candidates for a number of regional UK master licenses. This is a great white-collar sales and marketing opportunity for the right person says Peacock. In the US we have 8700 unit franchisees and 90 regional offices. My business plan is 30 regional offices with 1600 unit franchisees over the next 5 years. Within the next three years, Jan Pro UK is on track to pass the €100 turnover mark.
