Russell wanted a return on investment and a work-life balance.

Russell Borland joined Oven Wizards in September 2020. When looking for a business opportunity oven cleaning was not initially on my list, but after investigation I realised this offered the advantage of profitable repeat business.

Having previously been both a franchisee and franchise manager in other sectors, the Oven Wizards franchise stood out, due to the potential return on investment and work-life balance it offered.

Being able to train with an existing franchisee allowed a vital insight into the successful operation of the business and Mark and John, Directors and business owners of Oven Wizards are always on hand with continual support if required. Becoming the master of your own destiny gives you the flexibility of choosing your income and the hours you choose to work, and this is one of the most enjoyable benefits of the franchise.

By offering outstanding levels of service, most customers soon realise that quality is not expensive – it’s priceless, this is the difference between my business and my competitors. Combining quality oven cleaning with a personal touch builds relationships, and turns my customers into friends, and just as importantly, back into repeat customers again.

I am well on my way to achieving my financial goals and no longer find myself having to work excessive hours to generate this, allowing me time to enjoy weekends with my family. The Oven Wizards franchise also gives me the opportunity of expanding my business and this could well be an option, as I continue to plan my work and work my plan.

My advice to any potential franchisee is to do your research, choose your franchise carefully, and most importantly ask lots of questions, if your franchisor is not happy to address your questions, you are looking at the wrong franchise. Oven Wizards ticked all my boxes and they could potentially tick yours.
