Ovenu has been named a ‘Rising Star’ of the UK’s franchise sector by industry magazine Elite Franchise.
The oven valeting specialist also increased its standing in the publication’s Top 100 Franchises, jumping from 82 to 52. This is the third year the expert judging panel has named the Berkshire-headquartered business as one of the country’s best performers.
The judges commented: “What differentiates Ovenu from the many similar companies in the sector is the outstanding knowledge, help, support and practical guidance on offer to franchisees through every stage of their business development.
“The initial and ongoing fee structure is realistic and easy to understand and the most recently introduced version of the client management system is generating significantly extra profits for all franchisees.”
Ovenu was founded in 1994 by Managing Director Rik Hellewell, who has since gone on to attract and recruit hundreds of successful franchisees throughout the country. The company’s network has around 100 locally-based franchised oven cleaning and valeting experts.
Rik commented: “There are more than 1300 franchises operating in the UK, so to even make it into Elite Franchise’s Top 100 is a huge achievement, especially considering some of the household names we were up against.
“To improve on last year’s standing and be named a Rising Star of the industry is a real accomplishment, and an acknowledgement of the many years of hard work that has gone into making this a leading brand with more than 100,000 satisfied customers every year.
“It also reflects the solid business model upon which Ovenu is founded as well as the dedication, training and ongoing support that ensures our franchisees are set up for success.”
