The Gourmet Hog Roast Company, a company known for its innovative and delicious hog roast services, has announced the launch of its newest franchise, providing greater coverage across the UK. Nick Shepherd will be heading up the Lancashire region for an initial five-year term, with the success of the company continuing to grow.

Nick Warlow, co-founder of The Gourmet Hog Roast Company, in announcing the launch has commented.

”We’re incredibly excited that Nick has joined us. Bringing him onboard so early on in the year means that he’ll be set up and ready to trade for the busy summer season”, states Nick. “Nick spent considerable time researching the hog roast franchise market, and the different companies operating, and decided that we were the best fit for his goals and objectives.”

Nick spent 10 years working in the hospitality industry but most recently has been working with the Police force. The Gourmet Hog Roast team have trained him up to help him have the lifestyle he wants. He’s an ideal fit for the brand as his work ethic and customer service driven attitude are a perfect fit for us. Nick’s passion for outdoor cooking mean he’ll bring some irresistible flavours to the Gourmet Hog Roast menus, offering customers in Lancashire reliable catering services for all types of event.

Nick chose to work with the Gourmet Hog Roast franchise thanks to the range of benefits on offer to talent such as himself. As an established brand in the outdoor catering arena, those hoping to become a franchisee get the support required to stand out from competitors operating in the area, including their own website, leads and back-office support. All bookings are organised by the franchisor, so there’s no need for any prior sales experience, and you won’t need to chase for more work.

Many office based workers are turning to businesses like the Gourmet Hog Roast Company to give them greater flexibility in the hours they work, and the lifestyle they want to live. With specialist training and mentorship provided, franchisees can unlock the earning potential of running their own hog roast business and can expect to be profitable from Year 1. It’s a model which can help them become as successful as they like.

The Gourmet Hog Roast Company specialises in providing some of the finest, free-range hog roasts, catering for weddings, BBQs, private parties and corporate clients. Anyone organising a wedding or event in Lancashire can work with Nick to put together a menu which is ideal for them, including canapes, a three-course meal, desserts and evening snacks. Nick is passionate about sourcing quality ingredients from local suppliers, and will be using Honeywell’s Farm Shop for most of his meat.
