Welcome Vittorio!

I was born in South Africa, my parents moved to the then Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) when I was very young, and this is where I grew up and was educated.

I have always had a love of the outdoors and achieved a diploma in agriculture.

However fate led me back to South Africa and somehow into the steel industry where I remained for the past 35 years. When I moved back to the U.K. I sought a new challenge. Having looked at several franchises over the past year it was the Clean Cut opportunity that really interested me, not only because it gives me the opportunity to work outdoors once again but because I found it to be a very professional operation.

From being provided with top of the range equipment, excellent marketing strategies and even a dedicated call centre. I feel that I will be able to and look forward to making a very successful business in the Oxfordshire area over the next few years.

I became a Clean Cut franchisee in March 2014 and I simply hit the ground running.

Previously I was head green keeper at my local golf course. But after years of hard work and dedication I began to feel unappreciated and under – valued so I decided it was time to do something drastic and that’s when I came across the Clean Cut opportunity.

Although I was slightly nervous about running my own business I soon realised with the Clean Cut back office support network behind me I would never feel alone, and any worries I had were short lived.

Even the incoming calls are answered for me so I don’t have to down tools and race back to the van, scrabbling for a pen and paper to write the contact’s details down.

I would recommend to anyone who wants to go into business for themselves, who likes the outdoor life and being their own boss to get in touch with Clean Cut.  If you’re anything like me you won’t regret the decision.

 

I’d spent the last 10 years working in a job which I found more and more depressing every day, working until midnight and starting at 4am just wasn’t working for me or my family anymore. The money wasn’t great either.
I was made aware of Simon Studd and clean cut gardening by a friend so thought I’d find out a little more. I was obviously sceptical about handing over a large amount of money, as anyone would be, but a few meetings down the line and a chat with the existing franchisee’s soon put my mind at ease. Being that I always wanted to be successfully self employed, and my love for gardening I signed on the dotted line. I am already well on the way to exceeding my previous wage and am sure to increase that dramatically over the next few years. I also have the quality of life I’ve missed for so many years and look forward to many more and the running and development of my own successful business.

I had spent the last 20 years working for a agricultural and ground care machinery dealer. I was out on the road in a van kitted out as a mobile shop selling parts and accessories to golf courses. When this came to an end and I was made redundant I started looking at the opportunities available to me and Clean Cut stood out a mile. The professionalism they displayed throughout the due diligence process and the support I have had subsequently makes me feel like I am part of one big happy family and that everyone has my back.

I am so excited about my future in Clean Cut and am looking forward to a long and profitable relationship!

 

 

I first looked at the Clean Cut Franchise opportunity in 2014 but was not ready to make the investment and decided not to move forward. Four years later, I decided to watch the latest Clean Cut webinar and was reminded of what a great opportunity it was and was impressed by the success stories of the existing franchisees.

I booked into see Simon and Gary and was once again made to feel welcome and was impressed by the sincerity from them both and the obvious desire they both had to ensure my success.

It’s lovely to be working in an environment where they care as much about my success as I do, and even though I am making an investment it does not feel like a risk at all.

Whats more having met some of the other franchisees it is obvious they are all successful and growing fantastic businesses.

For the last four years I have been working 14 hour days on a country estate rain or shine for significantly less money than I am going to earn with Clean Cut. So, the prospect of working fewer hours and having more time to spend with my family is very exciting.

If only I had said yes four years ago!!!
