Drain Doctor Franchisee Celebrates Impressive Anniversary

Kevin Preston is celebrating 25 years of trade in the north-west.

Back in 1994, Kevin Preston was ready to start his own business. That’s when he bought Drain Doctor Preston with his wife Dawn.

At the time, Kevin was ready to move on from a job at his grandad’s plumbing business and start making a name for himself. Joining up with Drain Doctor was not an opportunity he could pass up.

With his services high in demand, Kevin and Dawn joined up with two fellow Drain Doctor franchisees who owned two territories in Cumbria. That’s when Drain Doctor North-West was born.

25 years on, the couple and their team of 21 operatives have developed a reputation in the local community for delivering an unmatched quality of service. They are reaping the returns of running nine separate franchise territories that always keep them on their feet.

Year on year, Kevin and Dawn have seen their business grow exponentially. Benefiting from economic revival in the British economy and a nationwide shortage of tradespeople, the franchise saw a sharp increase in revenues last year.

“Forming the joint venture has been pivotal to our success in the past few years,” said Kevin. “Together we have more ideas, a greater risk appetite, and we get more done. We are repeatedly looking for ways to expand our Drain Doctor business so we can continue to provide a world-class, 24/7 plumbing and drainage service.”

Kevin also commented on the advantages of partnering with a franchise that is backed by Neighbourly, the world’s largest home services franchisor: “By working with our franchisor, Neighbourly, we can also identify the right opportunities and develop key strategies of growth.”
