Rhino Surfaces - Driveway Franchise

LEADING THE CHARGE

Joining a franchise puts you at the front of any competition from the independent sector, but what about other franchises in your market? How does Rhino Surfaces make you stand out from the herd?

Currently, Rhino Surfaces is the ONLY resin-bound franchise operation to offer training and support on every aspect of construction, from groundworks to surface installation. We call this ‘The Full Service’.

It gives potential Rhino franchisees a higher earning potential (from carrying out groundworks) and a greater knowledge of the process. After all, a resin-bound surface is only as good as the base it’s laid on!

THE TRUST OF YOUR CUSTOMERS

The construction industry, particularly in the domestic market, is renowned for poor customer service and a lack of adherence to consumer law. Rhino Surfaces are different.

We’re one of very few companies in the industry to have been accredited by the Government’s Trading Standards ‘Buy With Confidence’ scheme and the ONLY resin-bound franchise business to have received this accreditation.

It gives our customers unprecedented peace of mind, while enabling us to develop franchisees to follow high customer service standards and legal compliance, thus protecting both the consumer and the franchisee.

HELPING THE PLANET ONE SURFACE AT A TIME

The construction industry has a significant impact on the environment, but Rhino Surface does the opposite:

• The resin used in our surfaces is derived from a harvested plant, thus contributing to the absorption of harmful CO2 from the atmosphere, rather than adding to it like other cement-based products.
• Our tough, flexible bases are made from recycled tyres which would otherwise be deposited in landfill sites.
• Lastly, with climate change raising urban flooding risks, a resin-bound construction contributes to the management of surface water by allowing rainwater to flow into the water table, making it fully SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) compliant.

A Rhino franchisee can be proud to offer a practical surfacing solution that is sustainable and kinder to the planet.

A PRODUCT IN DEMAND

Resin-bound surfaces have wowed customers across the UK for many years, boasting many advantages over traditional surfacing products:

• They’re permeable, helping mitigate the problems caused by urban flooding
• Weed-resistant
• Slip-resistant
• Structurally resistant to freeze-thaw
• Only natural stone is used in our surfaces, so there is no artificial colour to fade away.

SUPPORTING YOUR JOURNEY
