Andrew Richardson
Owner of Enviro Clean Ipswich
Andrew Richardson joined Enviro Clean in October 2024 while continuing his career as a sales manager. Looking for a way to create an additional income stream, Andrew wanted something practical, flexible, and rewarding. Carpet and upholstery cleaning offered exactly that—a business with strong local demand and the potential to grow steadily alongside his existing role.
Andrew’s results came quickly. Within his first month, he was already generating his own work, with self-generated leads now making up more than 70% of his business. His diary is booked two weeks in advance, showing the strength of his growing customer base and the effectiveness of Enviro Clean’s marketing tools.
In his first six months, Andrew achieved £15,000 in turnover. He invests around £2,000 into marketing, which has been crucial in building awareness and establishing a strong presence in Ipswich. Around 5% of his customers already return for repeat work—a figure that’s set to increase as his reputation continues to grow.
When asked about the support he’s received, Andrew’s answer is simple: “Excellent.” The training, ongoing guidance, and shared knowledge from other franchise owners have helped him lay the foundations for success.
