In less than two months Mr Clark, 44, has created an impressive order book with his local reputation growing at pace.

“I wish I had made this decision 10 years ago,” he said. “It really has been the best move of my life.  The reaction from local people has been superb and there’s a really bright future ahead for this business.”

After 30 years in the social work sector, becoming a franchisee was not a decision that he took lightly and he spent several months researching franchising before choosing Ovenu. 

On joining Ovenu he underwent a comprehensive training programme, and also benefited from telemarketing training, which helped secure his first set of bookings.

Mr Clark said: “Ovenu’s national enquiry service was already active in my area so, even though I was following up enquiries as part of my training, I was, in fact, putting the first bookings in my order book.”
