Dream Doors, the UK’s leading kitchen makeover franchise, has announced Simon and Charlene Herbert, owners of the Dream Doors showroom in Gloucester, as its Franchisee of the Year.

The prestigious award recognises franchise partners who demonstrate exceptional business performance, outstanding customer service and a strong commitment to the values of the Dream Doors brand.

Since launching their Gloucester showroom, Simon and Charlene have built a highly successful local business, helping homeowners transform their kitchens through Dream Doors’ innovative makeover service. By refreshing existing kitchens with new doors, worktops and accessories, customers can achieve a kitchen they’ll love for years to come, for up to 50% less than a new fitted kitchen.

In addition to being named Franchisee of the Year, the Gloucester showroom also received the award for Highest Network Turnover, outperforming more than 90 franchisees nationwide.

Commenting on the achievement, Simon said:

‘Winning the award and being recognised as Franchisee of the year is something we have always wanted to achieve, this year we managed just that, and also won the award for highest network turnover, which we are also incredibly proud of when faced with strong competition from 90 other ambitious and determined franchisees.’.

‘I would also like to take this opportunity to recognise the importance of being supported by such a dedicated team both within our showroom and at head office, this level of success is definitely not achieved by just my own hard work.’

Rick Howcroft, Managing Director at Dream Doors, alongside Nick Salter, Business Development Manager, praised the Gloucester franchise for its consistent performance, strong local reputation and commitment to delivering outstanding customer experiences.

Rick Howcroft said,

‘Franchisee of the Year celebrates individuals who truly embody the Dream Doors brand. Simon and Charlene have shown outstanding commitment to their customers, their team and their local community, while building an incredibly successful showroom. Their passion, professionalism and drive make them a fantastic ambassador for the Dream Doors network and completely deserving of the award.’
