Pirtek cracks top 50 franchises

Pirtek has shot up 23 places from last year’s Entrepreneur Magazine Top 200 Global Franchises list.

Hydraulic hose franchise Pirtek has cracked the prestigious top 50 of Entrepreneur Magazine’s annual franchise rankings, making it officially one of the best franchises in the world.

Climbing a massive 23 places from last year’s ranking, the company is now ranked number 42 on Entrepreneur Magazine’s highly influential Top 200 Global Franchises list, part of its bigger Franchise 500 list. The ranking is decided based on a number of factors, including international size and growth, support available to franchisees, stability and costs to franchisees and Pirtek is thrilled to have been recognised among other highly successful franchises.

Pirtek’s CEO, Glenn Duncan, expressed how pleased the company was with the achievement.

“Getting into the top 50 on Entrepreneur’s global ranking is a tremendous milestone for Pirtek. All this progress is indicative of the great people who make up Pirtek worldwide, especially our long-term franchise owners who have been so successful and who continue to expand their businesses into new markets. At the same time, I want to recognise the new owners who bring fresh enthusiasm and talent to Pirtek. We have so many outstanding people in our organisation.”

The franchise has also received recognition for going out of its way to accommodate US military veterans and help them start afresh after their service, with discounted fees and extra support. It was named by Entrepreneur Magazine as the 33rd most ‘veteran friendly’ franchise in 2017, showing its commitment to help hasn’t gone unnoticed.

With its 24/7 emergency service for all hydraulic hose and pipe fitting emergencies, Pirtek promises expertise and efficiency from all its engineers. Its aim is to reduce costly and irritating downtime after things go wrong and attends all urgent jobs within an hour to get companies back on their feet as quickly as possible.
