Richard Farrar
Owner of Enviro Clean
Barnsley
Richard joined the franchise in May 2024, leaving behind a career as a Senior Energy Broker. “I was looking for a new challenge and to spend more time with my family,” Richard explains. He wanted a business that offered flexibility without sacrificing growth potential. Franchising provided the perfect opportunity.
Richard hit the ground running- within just one month, 98% of his work was self-generated, demonstrating both his drive and the effectiveness of the Enviro Clean franchise model. Today, he is booked three weeks in advance, with a growing base of loyal clients keeping his schedule full.
Financially, the first six months were super strong, with Richard achieving £41,000 in earnings! He invests £25 per day in advertising to maintain a steady flow of jobs, balancing marketing with excellent customer service to grow his business sustainably.
Support from the franchise has been a key part of his success. “The support has been excellent,” Richard says. From initial guidance to ongoing advice and training, the franchise has provided the tools he needed to develop confidence and deliver top-quality service.
A notable highlight is the loyalty Richard has cultivated among his clients. Around 60% of his work comes from return customers, showing that consistent service and relationship-building pay off quickly in this model.
Richard’s story illustrates how franchising can provide a fulfilling and flexible career. By combining dedication, franchise support, and smart marketing, he has created a thriving business that allows him to take on new challenges while prioritising family time—proof that the right system can truly transform your professional life.
