We have seen a lot of activity in the first half of 2025 with 3 resales taking place in the Oven Wizards Territories of The Scottish Borders, Hereford and Worcester West and Fleet and Farnborough.

Wizards have worked hard to realise their investments by selling great Oven Wizards businesses to new Wizards to take to the next level, indeed the Territory in Fleet and Farnborough has now been sold for a second time.

This is what Mark Fitch had to say about his experiences as an Oven Wizard and his sale - 

“I’d owned a business previously and this time round I didn’t want to start from scratch, an existing Oven Wizards franchise was for sale locally, following initial enquiries with head office and directly with the franchisee I decided I could do this and it felt right for me at that particular time 

Following my training period I received regular calls from Oven Wizards head office to see how things were going, this continued throughout the whole time I owned the franchise, if I did need help with anything at all from head office it was only a phone call or e-mail away. 
 

I enjoyed the autonomy, this helped massively with family commitments, being a member of the Oven Wizards community was also a great experience, lastly the interesting and lovely people I met during the course of my work.

I was fortunate, the customer base I bought provided a significant amount of repeat work, after a few months you perfect the cleaning process, there is also a collective of  other Wizards that are happy to share their experience, joining a community was a key reason I joined Oven Wizards

After 6+ years I decided it was time to move on and put my business up for sale, with further assistance from OW I managed to secure a sale with Shaun Davey, he’d been employed as an oven cleaner for 8 years and wanted to work for himself, a good outcome for me and I’m very happy my customers will receive great ongoing service from Shaun.

I’ve heard from Shaun a few times and it sounds like he is off to a flying start, I’m delighted for him.

Starting a small business is a huge step, so do as much due diligence as you can, if it feels right go for it, being your own boss is very rewarding

In addition to the above Mike O’Neill sold his existing Oven Wizards business to Al Crooks in the Scottish Borders and Colin Hadley sold his business to Rob Rosser, Hereford and Worcester West. They have both had full diaries from day one with regular repeat customers.
