Bryan Elliott – Kingston Franchise

Before joining White Knight door2door, Bryan was a senior manager in HSBC’s securities business in London. Redundancy really concentrates the mind and this meant a rethink about personal values and life’s future. “Working hard has never been the issue” says Bryan, “but how I manage my work and free time has become much more important to me.”

Being the methodical person that he is, research at the Franchise Show in Wembley seemed to be a good way to untangle the true/false puzzle about owning your own franchise business. When just about to leave, and convinced that the common carpet cleaning market and similar franchises were saturated, Bryan spotted the White Knight stand and spoke to Robert Adams, Franchise Director.

Now here was something different. Bryan’s checklist included a strong brand name, low set up and overhead costs, an immediate income stream and a realistic opportunity to grow the business…and there it was!
Now well established, the Kingston business is steadily growing. Bryan says; “Personal Laundry and Dry Cleaning Services seemed to go out of fashion some years ago. I remember my Mum getting the box ready each week. Now a real revival in door-to-door services is happening.
 
People really need this and I can grow my business at the rate I want to. There is so much opportunity and I am really looking forward to the future”
