Drain Doctor Walsall wins local award for the incredible fifth time in just nine years of business.

Drain Doctor’s Walsall franchise has scooped the title of ‘Drainage Business of the Year 2018’ for the fifth time. In just nine years of franchising, owner Richard Scandrett has picked up the prestigious award for more than half of the years he’s been in business, showing his commitment to making his plumbing franchise as successful as possible.

In an awards ceremony hosted by ‘The Best of Walsall’, which is a hub for local businesses and the community, Scandrett scooped the national award for best drainage business. The winners were selected based on customer reviews, with the judging board looking for the businesses with the highest number of satisfied customers. With over 100 positive reviews thrusting him into the top spot, the accolade was well deserved as customers were vocal about the excellent service provided by Scandrett’s Drain Doctor franchise.

Managing Director at The Best of Walsall, Alex Murray, extended congratulations to all of the winners including Drain Doctor’s champion.

“We are incredibly proud of all our local businesses who qualified for the Walsall Business of the Year Awards, including Drain Doctor Plumbing who received fantastic reviews from local people using its services over the past year. These reviews are a public acknowledgement of the contribution that Drain Doctor Plumbing has made to our local economy and Richard can be very proud of their achievements, particularly as this is the fifth time they have won the award.”

Scandrett said how thrilled his franchise was to win the award.

“We were really honoured to win this national award and to be considered after knowing all the other businesses in the Walsall area. To be selected again means so much to me, both personally and as a business, and to know that our customers are writing some great testimonials provides me with even more motivation to grow the business further. We would like to say a big thank you to all our customers and we look forward to working with them again in the future.”

With its reliable, 24/7 callout service for all plumbing and drainage emergencies, it’s not surprising that Drain Doctor is one of the UK’s favourite franchises in the sector.
