Will and Kerry Hayton were first-time parents to their one-year-old son when their life did a complete 180°. Will’s priorities shifted after becoming a dad – he wanted more time at home to care for their newest addition, something his demanding marketing job couldn’t offer. Determined to take control of his future, he decided to build something of his own. With a vision for a better work-life balance and a spark of entrepreneurial spirit, Will launched his own My Property Pros franchise in Buckingham. Kerry jumped on board soon after, and together, they dived headfirst into business ownership. Fast-forward four years, and both their family and their franchise have grown in leaps and bounds – with plenty more to come!

When COVID hit, Liam Davis could have stuck to the safe route – but safe doesn’t build a legacy. In September 2020, after nearly 30 years as a chef, Liam was made redundant.

Franchising offered the proven systems and support he needed to hit the ground running - and My Property Pros (MPP, formerly My Window Cleaner) stood out for one big reason: it wasn’t just about one service – it was about building a recession-resistant exterior cleaning business with multiple revenue streams and real potential to scale.
