Neighborly acquires Dream Doors

The addition of the kitchen makeover franchise to the Neighborly operation means the multi franchisor now has a total of 22 service brands, nearly 3,700 franchisees and more than 850 staff across nine countries.

The deal includes 91 Dream Doors franchise showrooms.

It’s been confirmed that Troy Tappenden, Dream Doors’ founder and chairman, will be leaving the company. Its network will continue to be overseen by managing director Philip Carr.

Mike Bidwell, president and CEO of Neighborly, says: “Dream Doors has delivered on its promise of ‘new life for old kitchens and bedrooms’ for the past 20 years, making the brand a perfect complement to Neighborly’s community of premium home services.

“This brand furthers our expertise for Neighborly in today’s home improvement industry and accelerates the franchise’s growth of in demand home services throughout the UK.”

Neighbourly UK now consists of Aire Serv, Bright & Beautiful, Countrywide Grounds Maintenance, Drain Doctor, Mr. Electric and Dream Doors, plus three support offices in Banbury, Manchester and Portsmouth.
