The new franchisees will help drive the brand forward while taking their first steps towards creating their own profitable and successful businesses

Granite & TREND Transformations recently welcomed three new franchisees – from left to right, Tony Rivenell (Milton Keynes & Bedford), Abdul Rehman (Coleshill) and Jeremy Ashford (Plymouth) – as they successfully completed their franchise induction course.

As a new franchisee, Tony said: “From the first call, it was very clear that Danny and the team are here to make our ambitions a reality. No question is too small. They took us through all aspects of making our own franchise a success.”

By investing in the Granite & TREND Transformations franchise, franchisees benefit not only from trading under an established brand name but also from all the experience and expertise that comes from more than 20 years of successful trading. The brand’s training and induction events are designed to make sure that all new franchisees have everything they could possibly need to build their own rewarding future with Granite & TREND Transformations.

Granite & TREND Transformations rigorous training and induction process is scheduled over an entire week at the head office in Tunbridge Wells. Delivered by its specialist Franchise Advisory & Support Team (FAST), the comprehensive programme covers everything from marketing, sales and finance, to the technical aspects of the service. Trainees also receive a solid grounding in how to run the day-to-day operations of their new franchise according to the tried-and-tested model that the brand has perfected over the last 20-plus years.

“At the end of the course, I feel much more comfortable with the support that TREND will provide,” said new franchisee Jeremy.

As the week progressed, it was clear that the newest members were going to be a huge asset to the franchise. Danny Hanlon, chief operating officer at Rocksolid Granit (Europe) Ltd – franchisor of TREND Transformations - was particularly pleased with their progress. He said: “Having worked closely with each of our new franchise partners in the lead up to our October induction training, we were really impressed with the way in which they applied themselves. We were equally impressed with the way they helped and supported each other; they truly embody the spirit of franchising.” 

Benefiting from a surge in the home improvement sector, Granite & TREND Transformations is recording its highest ever levels of enquires for prospects wanting to open their own business. The franchise plans to open 10 new locations next year and has two Induction Franchise Training weeks scheduled for November 2020 and February 2021.
