The company has agreements with many national businesses, from well known restaurant and pub chains to leading insurance companies and hauliers, providing emergency repair services nationwide.

Coordinated by head office in Peterborough, jobs that arise from this national account business are passed on to local franchisees, and over the past year the level of this work has grown by 30 per cent.

Director Jan Mitman said: “National accounts are not a substitute for franchisees developing their own businesses, but they provide them with a stream of work that can help them to build a successful business, using the Drain Doctor system to secure new local customers.

“Nationally and locally, customers come to Drain Doctor for the quality and reliability of our service, and the fact that we turn up on time at any time of day or night, and guarantee all our work. This has enabled us to deliver real growth in our business and become a leading combined emergency drainage and plumbing business,” she added.
