"This is the franchise for the true entrepreneur"

History

James Whittle set up Aspray with business associate Robert Taylor " both bringing just the right skills and backgrounds to this groundbreaking franchise opportunity. With James's extensive experience in franchising he worked in a franchised family removals business

For 12 years, and has since advised numerous franchises, including REMAX and Oakleaf on how to expand their network - and Robert's background as a very successful property developer, they saw the potential for their skills to combine and create an ideal1 franchise network.

The original business concept came from the basic idea of offering a refurbishment service to the buy-to-let industry. As James says: When a buy-to-let property needs attention - from just simple re-wallpapering, right through to the installation of a complete new bathroom or kitchen, up to a total refurbishment - often the landlord hasn't the time or skills to deal with it.

Aspray franchisees can project manage the entire process for those landlords.' This notion then branched out into the second service provided by Aspray: buildings insurance claims management. Says James: 'Our franchisees will deal with domestic buildings insurance claims on behalf of the general public, it's a completely free service ; customer.

As if those two services weren't enough, Aspray also offers a general building service. Often jobs require several different contractors, and an Aspray franchise will take all the hassle out of managing them on behalf of the customer.
