Industry – Plumbing & Drainage Garry Sprigmore opted to invest in his own Drain Away business in June 2009. A former Regional Manager in the Plumbing & Drainage sector, Garry decided it was time to really capitalise on his knowledge and experience and in 2004 set up his own business. He experienced a steady growth, but felt the time was right to really accelerate the business by taking a Drain Away Franchise to help him achieve this. Drain Away is one of the South’s premier plumbing and drainage companies having been trading successfully since 1990 and earlier this year they launched their franchise opportunity. How he got involved with Drain Away When Garry worked as a Regional Manager for a prominent Plumbing & Drainage company, Drain Away was one of his key customers. He had met Jason Carpenter the owner several times and had admired his passion and determination to offer a really different service to his customers. Over the years they had stayed in touch and then one day just after Christmas, Jason spoke to Garry and suggested that he might like to operate a Drain Away franchise. After a lot of consideration Garry realised the benefits of becoming a franchisee; “I had a huge amount of respect for Jason and what he had achieved over the years and knew that as a Franchisor he would give me the 100% support and back up that is needed. It is also really reassuring to know how successful Drain Away has been over the years and I have every confidence that with their knowledge and my determination I will double my turnover in the first year”. Garry chose to build a better lifestyle A hardworking businessman, Garry also dotes on his long term partner Amanda Lamb and his two daughters aged 17 and 9. Outside of work and family life Garry loves the adrenalin rush of 4x4 racing, which he admits is seriously competitive. “Taking on the franchise will help me achieve my goals and ambitions, giving me more time in the future to enjoy life to the full”. Garrys’ advice to new franchisees “Research, research, research - this will probably be one of the biggest decisions you will make in your business career, so you want to make sure that the franchise is a solid offering, operating professionally, with a good reputation and that it can support your business as it grows. Drain Away has a very strong back office support, which is extremely important to a growing business. The training and support is truly second to none. I could not recommend Drain Away highly enough”. About Drain Away Drain Away has been built on the principal ‘that they never say no! Together with a forthright approach to customer service which has built a very loyal following of satisfied customers. Drain Away has developed their own training school, a fully equipped plumbing and drainage centre where trainees and franchisees are able to understand how everything works and flows. Drain Away is now looking for like minded individuals who possess real drive and ambition and would like to build the business in other areas. Jason says “You really don’t need to be a plumber – in fact an individual who has a good head for business would be an ideal candidate to build the next Drain Away Franchise”.
