There is a lot of information about the Access4Lofts franchise on this site and on their own franchise website, and the regular news items on here do go some way towards helping you understand what this opportunity could genuinely offer you. However, as useful as facts and figures are, nothing quite compares to hearing from real people about what it actually feels like to take the leap and build your own business. 

That’s exactly why quotes like the one in this subject line mean so much. They are the words of Gareth, one of Access4Lofts’ franchise partners based in Surrey, speaking candidly at last year's Access4Lofts franchise conference. No script, no prompt, just an honest reflection on a decision that changed his life for the better.

You can watch the full video interview HERE

Here are the questions he was asked:

• What made you decide to join Access4Lofts as a franchisee?
• How have you found the training and support since you first started?
• What advice would you give somebody who is thinking of becoming part of the Access4Lofts franchise?

There are also other great videos on the Videos tab above which are worth watching if you haven’t already done so. 

Gareth's story is particularly compelling because of the unique perspective he brought to the decision

Before joining Access4Lofts as a franchise owner, Gareth actually worked for another Access4Lofts franchisee, so he had a genuine insider's view of how the business operates day to day. He watched how efficiently everything ran, and saw first-hand just how strong the demand was for the work. He witnessed how accessible and achievable franchise ownership was, even for someone without a traditional business background. By the time he was ready to make his move, the decision really did make itself.

What’s really fascinating is that Gareth is not the first Access4Lofts employee to make that transition, either…in fact, he’s the 5th! 

Some have even relocated significant distances across the country to take on an available territory, which tells you a great deal about how much confidence these individuals place in the opportunity. Clearly, once you get a proper look at how Access4Lofts works from the inside, it becomes very difficult to walk away from. They just knew a good thing when they saw it!

Would you be interested in hearing more stories like Gareth’s?

Well… all Access4Lofts franchisees are always happy to have a chat about their experiences, so if you’d like to speak to a few of them yourself, it could be a great way to get a proper insight into what life is really like when you are part of the Access4Lofts franchise. 

This is not a curated list of people Access4Lofts know will give them a positive spin, they genuinely don’t need to do that, they’re happy for you to pick anyone from the network to reach out to for an honest and open chat. However, you can also be linked up with someone who comes from a similar background, if that’s of interest. 

Every franchisee who has joined Access4Lofts has their own story, their own starting point, and their own reasons for taking the plunge. Some came from corporate careers, others from hands-on trades. Some had previous business experience, and others were complete newcomers to self-employment. So, there’s a real wealth of experience to draw from, and a good chance you can talk to someone very much like yourself if that’s what you want to do.
