What a 12 months it has proved to be for Bury based entrepreneur Peter Foster & his Finesse Chem-Dry franchise business. They have just won the ‘Chem-Dry International Sub Franchise of the Year 2009’ award, recently held at the glittering International Convention in Hawaii, USA. This achievement follows their success of being crowned UK Chem-Dry Franchise of the Year in June 2008.
It has been a meteoric rise for Peter, his wife Lisa and the Finesse Chem-Dry team, who initially got involved in the family business in 1998 to try and turn it into a full-time franchise operation. The business has since grown to a 650,000 turnover and has recently moved to a new 8,500 Sq foot industrial unit based in Bury and servicing 12 licence areas throughout Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside & Yorkshire.
The Finesse Chem-Dry business model is a benchmark and an inspiration for not just UK based Chem-Dry franchise operations, but other franchise operations too. Peter and his team have been able to use their strong business development background and organisational skills to produce a solid business plan.
