Oltco - The UK and Channel Islands’ leading sustainable resin driveway specialists Franchise

Why Should you Join Our Team?

Since it was founded in 2004, Oltco has grown to become the UK and Channel Islands’ leading sustainable resin driveway specialist, with a network of over 55 franchises.

Oltco, leading sustainable resin bound driveway specialists, is proud to be seen as a disruptor within the industry with its award-winning Recycle Bound product which is made utilising waste plastic already in circulation. Oltco’s passion for innovation culminated in the launch of this world-first product in 2019 and to date Oltco has recycled the equivalent of over 500 million plastic straws in Recycle Bound transformations across the UK and Channel Islands.

Not one to rest on its laurels, Oltco expanded its sustainable product offering with the launch of Recycle Base in 2021. Recycle Base is an innovative ground reinforcement system made utilising low-grade plastic, including ocean waste plastic.

Oltco has transformed the typical model of a resin bound installer from a man in a van to a nationally recognised company, with award-winning and sustainable products.

An Oltco franchise is an exciting opportunity as you have the chance to not only join a successful, nationally recognised brand, but also join a network of like-minded and supportive people.

Oltco’s determination and dedication are not the only qualities that make it successful. Our franchisees set us aside from the rest.

If you’re looking for a fresh start and more control over your future, and you want to feel good about what you do, then joining Oltco will compliment these aspirations!

Testimonials

Brian and Harriet Wright – Gloucester and Cheltenham

“Owning an Oltco franchise was a great next step for me after coming out of the construction industry, as it wasn’t too far from the trade that I knew and had built a solid reputation from.

What stood out for me, and an ethos which shines through Oltco, was the commitment towards sustainability. As a business, Oltco Gloucester and Cheltenham has committed to offsetting its carbon footprint with the Carbon Footprint Scheme, which sees 5% of the business profits go towards planting trees.”

Phil Power - Liverpool and Wirral

Having Tom, Johnny, and Nick by my side to provide advice whenever required has been invaluable and has played a huge part in the success of Oltco Liverpool and Wirral.”
