Spettro Franchise helps families recover from last years floods

Last summers floods reportedly cost UK insurers around £3 billion and the RAF embarked on the largest search and rescue operation ever to be attempted in the UK. Franchisor Spettro was also called in to assist families that needed help to get their lives and homes back to normal. Graham Calladine took the opportunity last summer to begin the process of launching his Spettro franchise in Chesterfield and Mansfield. After the Gloucestershire floods came, Graham started a little quicker than he expected to help families around the area when their homes were affected by the severe flooding. Graham earned back over half the cost of his franchise in just one week of trading before he was even meant to start. I helped to organise Spettro’s own trade contactors to strip out saturated plaster in flood damage properties, thus removing the stress of home owners competing with neighbours, trying to employ local tradesmen, explains Graham. Between Grahams new franchise and the Bradford franchise, Spettro worked on 16 homes in Doncaster so that family life could get back to normal as soon as possible. Spettro deals with claims for burglaries, fire, storm and impact damage to peoples properties. Tony Smith, one of the Directors at Spettro explains why this service is becoming increasingly important, With Channel 4s Dispatches now naming 20 places most likely to be at risk of flooding in the UK, we are preparing for future demand for our services. The pilot franchise turned over £240,000 in its first year, with a 65% operating profit so Spettro are hopeful of a positive take-up for the franchise.
