Growing franchise brand in a growing market
Maybe you want to be part of a franchise that everyone in the population needs and is in a growing market?
With the Mr. Electric Franchise you
can!
Mr.
Electric franchise is a world renowned residential
and commercial electrical installation and repair company, with a
global network.
Mr. Electric has over 60 franchises throughout the UK and over 200
franchises across the world, in the USA, Ireland, Portugal, Canada
and Australia. Mr. Electric provides electrical
services to a variety of customers across a wide range of
industries including commercial outlets, large retail chains,
office buildings, warehouses, restaurants, hotels, landlords,
tenants and the homeowner.
The electrical contracting market in the UK is a growing and prosperous market and everyone needs an electrician at some point, so the opportunities are endless!
The Mr. Electric business system was developed by The Dwyer Group, a worldwide franchise organisation operating in more than 30 countries. The Dwyer Group of companies are involved in a diverse array of service industries, but all are franchise businesses and each of them has been built on the same philosophy of success.
Comprehensive Support Programme
The
franchised brand offers technical and business training along with
a comprehensive support programme, helping you to gain competitive
advantage over other small businesses by working collectively as a
national team! Due to our national coverage, you will benefit from
our extensive national accounts. This will help to provide a
consistent flow of work throughout the year.
Initial and ongoing technical support and training is provided through the UK Management Team.
We
offer our franchisees the opportunity to operate their own business
as part of a distinctive and well-respected brand; known for
world-class customer service. The franchise system provides all the
necessary tools for setting up and running a profitable business
month on month, year on year.
We understand, and have developed solutions to the common problems faced by independent businesses. Our system will help you recruit and retain quality staff. It will also ensure the quality of your work and help you maintain excellent customer service.
At the award winning Mr. Electric we believe that a franchise is an opportunity for you to work on your business not just in your business!
Progressive Strategy
The
progressive nature of the franchise system is at the forefront of
its success. As well as a recent re-branding exercise, Mr. Electric
is now leading the way in health and safety after receiving an
accreditation from SAFE contractor, a programme which aims to
improve health and safety practice among UK
contractors.
Clive Houlston, managing director of both Mr. Electric UK, said: “This accreditation not only highlights our dedication to improving health and safety for our workers but also our customers.
Mr. Electric takes pride in customer service and by being on the SAFE contractor register it will give safety aware customers the assurance that we operate to industry-leading standards.”
National Franchises Are Preferred
In
a study of over nine thousand consumers, contractors affiliated
with a national franchise were preferred by a 2:1 margin. Consumers
want a name they can trust, a name with a national franchise
standing behind it.
In essence,
franchising is systematic business support. Franchising enables the
entrepreneur to learn from the experiences of others by following a
system developed from the most successful companies in a given
field. The franchisee saves time, money and energy by following a
proven pattern and receives support from both the franchisor and
other franchisees.
In addition, all Mr. Electric Franchisees will provide mutual
support and idea generation and everyone can learn from each other.
The support and advice from other Franchisees of Dwyer Group
Companies is a distinct organisational advantage. The combined
efforts and experiences of Dwyer Group franchises across the
country provides an incredible synergy. When one franchise
discovers a new and innovative approach, it is disseminated to all
franchises. Franchising is cooperation, not
competition.
