Franchising
Over the last 8 years the Cartridge UK team has worked with leading business and marketing consultants to to develop a highly profitable and efficient business. Having established its operational base from a shop in Oxford, Cartridge UK has received several approaches from individuals keen to replicate that success elsewhere in the country.
Cartridge UK's first franchisee opened in November 2007 promises to be the first of many successful Cartridge UK stores as the brand grows across the UK. Cartridge UK will be growing its franchised branch network in a measured fashion, to ensure it sets industry-leading standards of backing and support for its franchise business partners.
For Cartridge UK it is not about the number of franchisees but the quality of franchisees, Cartridge UK truly believe that the success of their franchisees is the first priority. As Mark Spolander explains, "There are many franchises out there offering all sorts of things, I firmly believe that the success of any franchise system lies within the franchisees, helping franchisees achieve their goals and success first will automatically ensure Cartridge UK's success."
Franchisee’s Story
Nigel & Teresa Brookes, Witney
After meeting Mark at a networking meeting in Oxford it was an easy decision for my wife and I to join Cartridge UK as their first franchisee. The hardest part was finding suitable premises in a good location. It is imperative to have a good central location to help with retail sales. Mark was on hand throughout the whole process and was always available to answer any questions that arose.
We opened the shop in Witney on 5th November 2007 and sales gradually increased to a comfortable level. The training provided stood my wife and I in good stead for what was to come. Initially there appeared to be a lot to learn, but once trading, I was surprised as to how quickly our knowledge base built up. When questions do arise either Mark or one of his staff in Oxford are available to answer these and solve technical queries quickly. The Cartridge UK brand is easily recognisable and the assurance of quality and emphasis on customer service is paramount to establishing good relationships with your customers. I would recommend Cartridge UK to anyone who would like to run their own business and be part of successful team.
Ali Briffett, Hereford
I worked within the cartridge recycling industry for 5 years before I decided to join Cartridge UK and start my own business in 2009. The help and support from Mark Spolander and the other stores is fantastic and has far exceeded my expectations. Cartridge UK has not just been an opportunity to open a successful business, but has been a stepping-stone to developing my skills in all areas of business. I truly feel the success of the Hereford store is due to the great team at Cartridge UK. I am very proud to be part of the Cartridge UK family!
