There is a light amid the economic gloom created by the credit crunch, according to Freddie Mitman, chairman of leading plumbing and drainage company Drain Doctor Plumbing.
“Recession? What recession? Plumbing is an essential recession proof industry, and Drain Doctor Plumbing offers a recession proof opportunity to anyone looking for a new franchise business,” he said.
Drain Doctor has certainly been expanding. Having established a national network of over a hundred franchises in the UK and Ireland, the company recently opened a new operation in Portugal, a move that has won the backing of their local MP Stewart Jackson.
He said: “There are not many good news stories about the economy lately, so I was delighted to hear that Drain Doctor is bucking the trend. Setting up a successful business is not easy, and it is a testament to the dedication of Drain Doctor owners Jan and Freddie Mitman and their fantastic team that they have been able to export their unique brand of customer service.”
Launched in 1993, Drain Doctor Plumbing provides a 24-hour service, imposes no call-out charges, offers a fixed-price quotation before work commences and guarantees all workmanship.
