Successful businesswoman Georgie Cox has opened up a Business Doctors office to help small and medium-sized businesses in the Welwyn and St Albans areas to grow.

I was not particularly planning to go into business before opting to join LMI UK. I was working with a charity, running a leadership development internship programme and was looking to develop my own skills in leadership and personal development training. I came across LMI UK via a presentation that an existing franchisee gave, and thought it would be interesting to go along and maybe learn something useful for my existing role.

Phil and Katie Diacon, both ex-military, decided on Pack and Send franchise because of the opportunities it offered as a new franchise to the UK. “The decision to go with Pack & Send was based predominantly on the growth potential - we did not want to invest in a franchised business that was mature and where you had to fit into the gaps that existed rather than being able to take control.”

When Grant Saggers decided that he wanted to use his experience of selling air conditioning to start his own ventilation business, he turned to EnviroVent, a business he had heard only good things about.

After identifying renewable energy as a career change, and look at other energy franchises, Richard Jones decided that EnergyMyWay was the right franchise for him, “From our first meeting, I felt the people at EnergyMyWay were the kind of people I could work with. They offered the perfect balance of being in control of my own future but with all the support and backup needed to be a success.”

David Stevenson identified the potential for renewal energy whilst in his previous role as a property developer. After researching other energy companies, EnergyMyWay stood out for David as the right energy franchise for him.

Steve Price has operated the Mr. Electric franchise for over 3 years now and has grown a successful business. He is now heavily focused on the solar market and is enjoying significant growth in this sector.

One thing leads to another and when Jane Adams first met OSCAR she had something to sell them, not realising that one day the tables would turn - a career change that would became a priority and OSCAR who would be first and last on her list.

37-year old Hayley Dwyer’s main source of income was working as a consultant in the Public Sector. But the downturn in the economy and the likelihood of a new government coming to power (one with a fresh budgetary agenda) meant that the future was uncertain

Laurence Fitch was the general manager of a family company importing ceramic tiles throughout the South East. He left early in 2008 due to the downturn in the economic climate.
