Spettro franchisee earns back half his franchisee fee in first week of trading!
posted on 14-Dec-2007
This summer’s floods have reportedly cost UK insurers around £3 billion and with Channel 4’s Dispatches naming 20 places most likely to be at risk of flooding, it is not surprising that the Spettro franchise package has attracted a great deal of interest.
Graham Calladine took the opportunity this summer to launch his Spettro franchise in Chesterfield and Mansfield. Graham helped families in Doncaster when their homes were affected by the severe flooding and earned back over half the cost of his franchise in just one week of trading!
“I organised for Spettro’s own trade contacts to strip out around 2ft of saturated plaster which helped to remove the stress of competing with neighbours to employ the local plasterer or plumber,” explains Graham. Between Graham’s franchise and the Bradford franchise, Spettro worked on 16 homes in Doncaster so that family life could get back to normal as soon as possible.
Spettro also deals with claims for burglaries, fire or storm damage or if tenants have left a rental property needing refurbishment, services which are free of charge to the insured. Tony Smith, one of the Directors at Spettro explains, “We have 30 years of insurance claims management experience and we are now looking to expand our franchise network to meet UK demand.”
The business is recognised by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) which allows the business to loss assess and mediate with all the major insurance companies.
Spettro franchisees should have an affinity towards helping people to overcome their immediate difficulties and should enjoy project management. Spettro has an extremely comprehensive training programme and ongoing support which gives new franchisees the skills they need to manage their business with confidence.
With the average franchise due to turnover around £240,000 in its first year, they are hopeful of a positive take-up. To request a prospectus contact Spettro on 01883 621 047 or visit www.spettro.net
Spettro is an Insurance Claims Management Business incorporating loss assessing service and specialists in property renovations. Leaks, flood damage, storms, fires, accidental and criminal damage, vandalism, and various other factors all create demand for the service.
