Mike Andrews – Franchisee Story

Mike Andrews, Auditel, South Manchester

I’m in the fourth year of running my Auditel franchise and I have already achieved the goals I had when I first started my business of having control over my life, reaching a work life balance and being financially secure.

Before I joined Auditel I worked in construction, but I wanted more autonomy and control over my life so I decided to look into franchising. I came across Auditel at a franchise seminar and it appealed to me as it is a white-collar business that tapped into my existing skills. It was something I felt I could excel at and it would allow me to have the work life balance I was looking for.

I received thorough training before launching my franchise which covered everything from how to run your own business to sales and client management. I have also received additional ongoing training and enjoy constant support – I have access to all of Auditel’s experience and knowledge.

Since launching my franchise I have always set ambitious turnover targets, all of which have been achieved. I’m also currently on target to meet this year’s turnover target as well.

What I enjoy most about my business is the flexibility to take holidays when I like, which means that my wife, son and I can frequently go to our holiday apartment in Spain. My nine month old boy has already been abroad three times! I also like the fact that as I work from home I can spend time with and play with my son every day.
