20 Great things that happen when the sun shines

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.

Born in Zimbabwe I have always loved the outdoors and have a big passion for wildlife.

Since coming to the UK with my English mother for political reasons I found myself working nights at a hotel just to pay the bills. It was terrible!

I was earning very little money and had no time for my wife or children as I was asleep whilst they were awake. I had to make a change.

It was then that I found the Clean Cut model and it was like love at first sight! It is a business that combines my love of the outdoors with my desire to earn good money and spend more time with my family perfectly.

In addition Simon, Gary, Dave, Craig and the team are all lovely people and it is pleasure to work with them and indeed all of the other Clean Cut franchisees, I feel like I have been adopted by one big happy successful family and its great.

In my first week I made more money than I did in a month at the hotel!

If you are looking for a life changing opportunity look no further Clean Cut really is a good as it sounds!

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!!!

 

After 30 years of corporate life I came to Clean Cut as I saw it as a chance to work locally, meet local people and do something for myself and preserve my families lifestyle. The work life balance it promised was a huge attraction for me. Its great too be out in my local community meeting new people and feeling like I am doing something productive. The support from Simon and the team has made the process amazingly easy and I am looking forward to growing my business with their support.

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.
