Exclusive Interview: "Franchising was the best decision of my life"

Jerry-Lee Hall had run a small printer consumables business but felt that it was running him and the other way round. This put him off having his own business and he came to work for the PCL Group.

Whilst there, he watched the Franchise process being put into place and decided to take advantage of the current Zero Franchise Fee and Zero Management Charge to strike out again. This time with the support and back-up of the industry leader PCL.

Tell us a bit about yourself and what you were doing prior to buying a franchise business?

“I was an employee of PCL before taking on the Franchise, but had run my own business before working there. I felt that taking a franchise was a safer bet (statistics bear this out) and wanted the security of using a tried and tested industry brand.

Why did you go down the franchise route? And why did you choose PCL Franchise Enterprise Ltd?

Whilst an employee of PCL I could see first-hand the attention and effort they put into the franchise offering. They are the largest manufacturer and installer of solid roofs in the country and this expertise shows through – it’s been the best decision I’ve ever made.

What training and support did you receive initially and ongoing?

PCL have provided me with every assistance to get the business up and running, from helping me get a bank account, setting the new company up and producing a business plan for me to work to.

This support continues with the PCL Marketing Department passing on leads they generate in my area and designing my website to enable me to produce my own leads.

What are your plans for the future?

At the moment I sub-contract all my installation work to PCL as this is not a skill I have as yet. I do intend on taking on my own installers and thanks to PCL will learn to survey my own jobs.”
