About FRS

What Our Franchise Owners Have to Say

The support and training I received during the early stages (both in setting up the company and actually trading) had great impact on my productivity and success. I can attribute a huge amount of the success of my business down to the sales and ops training which was delivered by the FRS Franchise Management team. It gave me the tools I needed to make money. The great thing about FRS is the sense of being a part of a team. There's always somebody on the phone if you need support.

My first year with FRS exceeded my expectations, both financially and personally. This is certainly not an easy ride but I can categorically state - you will get out of it what you put in. I would highly recommend the FRS Franchise to anybody who is serious about working for themselves.

Six months ago I was entering my thirtieth year of paid employment. I had previously enjoyed a five year Short Service Commission in The Corps of Royal Engineers and then followed it with twenty five years in the construction industry. On turning fifty years of age it was time for a change. I wanted new challenges and to break the routine of working for someone else.

Being a franchise owner of Forces Recruitment Services has given me the opportunity to run my own business, set my own goals and yet have the solid back up from a well established company with a tried and tested business model. The risks are minimised and the rewards are there.

Despite my lack of previous recruitment experience, the excellent training provided by FRS enabled me to hit the ground running - and so far I have not looked back.
