Republic of Ireland for Mr. Electric

posted on 10-Dec-2007

One of the UK’s leading franchise organisations is set to continue its expansion in the Republic of Ireland under the well known brand of Mr. Electric. This will bring a high quality and reliable 24 hour service for the electrical needs of millions in both the domestic and commercial sectors.



The new expansion is being driven by John, Colm and Peter Smith, who already have considerable experience in the market as a result of their own local successful electrical business. When the Master License became available, the brothers jumped at the chance of being part of a multinational company, who have already established a proven business model.



John Smith said: “Combining the local knowledge of our team with the experience of Mr. Electric, gives us a fantastic opportunity. We are looking forward to taking on this fresh challenge with the backup and support that has generated successful businesses elsewhere. ”



John continues, “Working as part of the Mr. Electric team, will provide plenty of opportunities not only in our market areas but also through our ability to continue the expansion of the franchise network. The Mr. Electric concept gives anyone the opportunity to work independently, while retaining the structure and support of a multinational organisation.”



Clive Houlston, Managing Director of Mr. Electric Europe and board member of the British Franchise Association said: “We are really pleased to continue the development of this proven business system in The Republic of Ireland. What impressed me with the team was their hard working ethos and entrepreneurial flair. Under their control I am sure Mr. Electric Republic of Ireland will be a huge success.”
