Oven valeting franchisee cleans-up
Posted on: 28/03/2008
Phil Turner, of Chesterfield, is planning to clean up South Sheffield after launching Ovenu, a professional oven valeting business.
After working for the past five years as an estimator for a company that supplies hospital furniture, Phil, 48, decided that it was time to become his own boss.
Ovenu’s environmentally-friendly service has attracted more than 100,000 customers across the UK and its franchise model has been replicated in Europe, Australia and the United States.
Phil plans to build up the business, initially working alone, with the aim of employing another member of staff in the future. The franchise covers South Sheffield and the surrounding areas.
Since 1994 Ovenu’s UK-wide network of more than 100 franchisees have cleaned more than one million ovens, microwaves, and barbeques.
Its valeting service involves dismantling key components of an oven such as the door, interior panels, fan and shelves and placing them into design-registered equipment, which uses non-caustic products to clean the oven parts. The whole process takes around three hours and leaves the oven, hob and exterior in immaculate condition.
Phil said: “I wanted to develop my career further and also decided that I would like to start my own business. I had heard of the Ovenu franchise and knew they were proving to be hugely successful in the UK so decided that was the route I wanted to follow.
“Moving into a specialised area, I think that my new venture has the potential of extensive growth and I am looking forward to developing the business.
“Operating Ovenu in South Sheffield will allow me to be my own boss, but with the support and experience of an established and respected business. Working with Ovenu, I feel confident that I’ll be able to build a strong reputation in the area and develop a successful business.”
Rik Hellewell, Managing Director of Ovenu said: “Phil’s down-to-earth and determined and there’s great potential for him to grow the business. He is a welcome addition to the Ovenu team. We will be supporting him throughout his time as an Ovenu franchisee and hope to watch him develop the business across the area.”
