Pacifica Local expands with Liverpool launch
The UK’s leading appliance repair brand, Pacifica Local, has continued its domestic expansion with its launch in Liverpool. Led by lifelong entrepreneur Dean Pitot, who previously built and managed businesses across Mauritius and South Africa, Dean brings a wealth of commercial insight and ambition to the Pacifica Local network.
With new franchise partners launching across the UK, the network continues to prove the power of combining local ownership with national expertise. Having recently relocated to the UK, Dean was ready for a new challenge and found it with Pacific Local. After 25 years of running a range of import and networking businesses, he was drawn to Pacifica Local’s practical, purpose-driven model and the opportunity to make an impact in his new community – even though he had no prior engineer experience.
“I wanted to build something meaningful here in the UK,” said Dean. “Pacifica Local offered the ideal balance of independence and support – a business I could make my own, backed by a trusted national name.”
Built on partnership and powered by purpose, Pacifica Local offers a business model designed for the real world: low investment, strong earning potential, and the security of day-one work. With an emphasis on repair over replace, Pacifica Local empowers entrepreneurs like Dean who are ready to make an impact, leading a business that makes life easier for customers every day.
Reflecting on his experience so far, Dean believes the combination of structured training and ongoing support has been key to his success. “The hands-on training gave me the confidence to get started straight away. You’re guided through a City & Guilds accredited training programme at Pacifica’s Training Academy and then get to work with a qualified engineer in your territory.
“There’s always someone to call – whether it’s a senior engineer or someone at the head office team – and that kind of support makes all the difference when you’re learning and growing something new. Pacifica Local has made starting a business in a new country not just possible, but genuinely really rewarding.”
Lee Garland, Head of Franchising at Pacifica Local, said Dean’s story captures the very essence of what the brand stands for. “Dean is exactly what Pacifica Local is all about – empowering people from all walks of life to start their own business. His drive to learn and his commitment to delivering a quality service perfectly reflect the spirit of partnership that runs throughout our network.”
As Pacifica Local expands in the UK, the brand is setting new standards in the appliance repair industry. With more territories in development, it’s an exciting time for entrepreneurs seeking a scalable, service-led business with real community impact.
