Progressive Strategy

The progressive nature of the franchise system is at the forefront of its success. As well as a recent re-branding exercise, Mr. Electric is now leading the way in health and safety after receiving an accreditation from SAFE contractor, a programme which aims to improve health and safety practice among UK contractors. 

Clive Houlston, managing director of both Mr. Electric UK, said: “This accreditation not only highlights our dedication to improving health and safety for our workers but also our customers.

Mr. Electric takes pride in customer service and by being on the SAFE contractor register it will give safety aware customers the assurance that we operate to industry-leading standards.”


National Franchises Are Preferred

In a study of over nine thousand consumers, contractors affiliated with a national franchise were preferred by a 2:1 margin. Consumers want a name they can trust, a name with a national franchise standing behind it.

In essence, franchising is systematic business support. Franchising enables the entrepreneur to learn from the experiences of others by following a system developed from the most successful companies in a given field. The franchisee saves time, money and energy by following a proven pattern and receives support from both the franchisor and other franchisees.
In addition, all Mr. Electric Franchisees will provide mutual support and idea generation and everyone can learn from each other. The support and advice from other Franchisees of Dwyer Group Companies is a distinct organisational advantage. The combined efforts and experiences of Dwyer Group franchises across the country provides an incredible synergy. When one franchise discovers a new and innovative approach, it is disseminated to all franchises. Franchising is cooperation, not competition.
