"I was looking to improve my work life balance; as a retail area manager I was working 24/7 and was a slave to the 'Blackberry and emails'. I realised to achieve the change I needed I would need to be self employed, so had been looking at potential franchises on and off for 2 or 3 years. Clear Brew ticked all the boxes:

- Sensible initial investment, with everything supplied to get you going on day 1

- Low additional overheads – basically just car running costs and insurances

- You are supplying a service that is not an 'optional extra' but a publican's 'must do'

- Regular repeat business generates great, predictable cash flow

- Low overheads means great margins

Excellent advice and support always readily available. The variety of clients and venues keeps it interesting and fun, I am making a comfortable living as an owner/operator in less than 6 months, and with the size of my territory and the margins available I will be able to grow the business and further increase my income by taking on staff.

I now have time to enjoy life!!!"
