Reaching for success with GutterPro

Ian Reddi is the first to admit he’s had an eclectic mix of jobs in the last 30 years. From helping his father run the family’s Italian restaurant, to working as a car salesman and even a land buyer, Ian reached a point where he felt it was time to have his own business.

Having always had franchising in the back of his mind, Ian headed to The National Franchise Exhibition at the NEC in October 2017. He had a target list of franchise brands to approach and on that list was GutterPro.

During a conversation at their stand, Ian was impressed with the GutterPro management team and their vision and ambition. With a low initial investment and the opportunity to work in a physically active, outdoor environment appealing to Ian, he quickly followed up on discussions and spoke with existing GutterPro franchisees.

Just three weeks later, Ian signed his franchise agreement and attended a week’s training on the GutterPro system and business model. Serendipity enabled him to purchase a van very quickly and just one month after attending the exhibition, Ian was up and running as the GutterPro franchisee covering Leamington Spa and the surrounding areas.

Ian comments:

“I am so happy working for myself. Operating a franchise business has given me everything I expected and more. I’ve got the support of an ambitious, national brand behind me but all the autonomy of working for myself.” 

“The business development support in the first three months was crucial in getting me up and running, and the backend systems and ongoing support let me get on with growing my business. I enjoy the variety of tasks I have to tackle as a business owner, and the future looks bright!”
