Celebrating Success: The Franchisees Leading the Way at Metro Rod and Metro Plumb

At Franchise Brands, we believe that celebrating success is just as important as building it and earlier this month, we had the privilege of doing just that.

In the opulent surroundings of the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel in Manchester, we hosted a special CEO Dinner for Metro Rod and Metro Plumb franchisees who are operating businesses with turnovers exceeding £1.75 million. The venue a Grade II listed former life insurance headquarters built in the late 1800s served as a fitting backdrop for an evening that honoured modern-day pioneers: our bold, brave, and brilliant franchise partners.

The dinner was hosted by Peter Molloy, newly appointed CEO of the Water & Waste Services Division at Franchise Brands Plc, and now also serving as a Director on the Board of the Company. Alongside some of our central support team, Peter welcomed franchisees and their partners to an evening of celebration, reflection, and ambition for what lies ahead.

More Than Just Numbers

These franchisees are more than just high performers; they are leaders in their communities. They’ve grown their operations through a mix of hard work, entrepreneurial spirit, and a commitment to delivering exceptional essential services across the UK.

Despite current market challenges, these businesses are thriving. They’re not only supporting the UK’s homes and commercial properties with drainage and plumbing services they’re also creating jobs, upskilling staff, and supporting hundreds of families in the process. Their success is proof of what’s possible in franchising when the right people are matched with the right opportunity.

Franchising with Purpose

We often talk about franchising as a route to being your own boss, and it absolutely is. But at Metro Rod and Metro Plumb, it’s also about building teams, supporting your local economy, and knowing you’ve got the backing of an experienced national brand to help you scale and succeed.

Whether you're an experienced business leader looking for a new opportunity, or someone from a technical or trade background ready to take the next step, we believe there’s never been a better time to explore franchising.
