About Oakleaf

Oakleaf is a family-run manufacturing business, established in 1969, producing a wide range of high quality decorative period mouldings.

Having recognised the importance of providing customers throughout the country with easy access to its niche products and services, most importantly to allow close inspection in order that the quality achieved might be appreciated first-hand (being a resin-based material), the company saw franchising as the most effective resource to achieve this objective and launched its franchise opportunity in 2001.

2009 saw the introduction of a new and more substantial opportunity, incorporating significantly enlarged territories (limited to 20 throughout UK), with each franchise owner enjoying a considerably enhanced 'kit of tools', including access to a mobile showroom, to assist in both their marketing and sales roles.

Complementing the company's established manufacturing capability, franchise owners fulfil the role of marketing and sales representatives in their areas, providing enquiries (commercial and domestic) with a local service, including sampling, design, supply and organisation of installation.

"The fact that Oakleaf products are unique and of the highest quality is acknowledged, but without the effort we have invested in local awareness, customers would simply not know that such beautiful products were available. Once introduced they regularly return for more."
