Belvoir Annual Record Breaker
Office: Belvoir Manchester Central
Owner: Harry Dhaliwal
Launched: December 2004.
Background:
Harry’s background was in retail but he had always been interested in property and when he sold his retail business decided to focus on property as a career. Harry knew from experience how long it took to establish a brand and decided to buy a franchise from a large national company with a recognized brand name.
Why Belvoir?
Harry responded to an advertisement by Belvoir and on meeting the team and doing his research, was very impressed by the company and the training course.
Success to date:
Harry has large and impressive offices in the heart of Manchester, and employs a team of 15 staff to help him maintain structured growth. “I encourage the team to go on training courses and see working for me as a career path rather than just a job,” says Harry.
In 2007 Harry recorded an annual turnover of £517,216 and won the award for Belvoir Annual Record Breaker. Harry has also made his TV debut, appearing on the Tonight Show using his expertise to advise landlords and developers on how to avoid the pitfalls of negative equity and over-supply in some city centres.
Vision for the future:
The race is on to become the first Belvoir franchise to record an annual turnover in excess of a million pounds and Harry would love to achieve this. He also intends to expand his business, and open two or three new Belvoir franchises.
