PVC Vendo franchisees benefit from new equipment deal

Improved pressure washer package to be made available to UK network

Mobile fleet cleaning franchise PVC Vendo has negotiated an impressive new supplier contract for its franchisees.

Bosses have agreed a deal with Danish manufacturer Nilfisk for the provision of a brand new pressure washer unit to each franchisee every three years, complete with a full service and maintenance programme, including a 24-hour replacement service.

And in even more good news, franchisees will see a negligible £3 a month increase on existing leasing costs.

Until recently, franchisees have leased their pressure washers from the franchisor.

The units had to be returned for servicing and all broken parts had to be sent back by courier or in the post before a replacement would be released.

Some of the units owned by franchisees are approaching 13 years old and although they’ve performed well are coming to the end of their working life.

Darren Taylor, owner of Taylor Made Franchising, who purchased PVC Vendo in 2018, says: “Supporting our franchisees with the best equipment is something that’s important to us across all our brands at Taylor Made Franchising and we’re pleased to have negotiated this deal with Nilfisk.

“I’d like to thank David Callister and Mick Heepy at PVC Vendo head office for their efforts in bringing this deal to our franchisees.

“To be able to give each franchisee a brand new machine every three years, with an improved service and maintenance offering for virtually no increase in cost, is superb and I’m delighted we can support our franchisees with this great deal.”

PVC Vendo has continued to trade well over the last seven months, despite the coronavirus pandemic.

“Our Sani Clean service, which instantly kills the coronavirus on the interior of vehicles, has been well received by the UK’s commercial transport and haulage sectors and franchisees have been as busy as ever,” Darren says.

“We still have a few territories available for people who would like to own their own vehicle cleaning business. We have existing national contracts in place with firms such as DHL and Parcel Force, with more coming on board all the time.”

As well as PVC Vendo, Taylor Made Franchising also owns Thomas Cleaning, StumpBusters, Wilkins Chimney Sweep and Traas Pest Control.
