Fatih Tek – known to everyone simply as ‘Tek’ – and his wife Tracey launched their Ovenclean franchise four years ago. Today, they have around 1,500 regular customers, with a second vehicle on the road and two employees to help with the workload.
“We’ve worked very hard to build up our business and we’re reaping the rewards from established, loyal customers who book us regularly and recommend us to others,” says Tracey. “Although we have many private householders who use us regularly, we’re now also focusing on the rentals marketplace, where we can secure forward contracts from lettings agents or landlords for multiple oven cleans. We’ve just agreed our yearly contract with one of our lettings agent customers and we have 45 or so ovens to clean over the next two months. It’s guaranteed work and they always pay us bang on time.” Read full story.
