Revive! launches 200 technician recruitment drive and plans for substantial expansion
Lily Sweeney, writer
The SMART repair franchise recently announced a five-year plan centred around this recruitment drive, with an overarching goal of increasing total network sales to £40 million.
The automotive franchise is already the UK’s largest accredited SMART repair network, with more than 200 IMI certified repairers, and Revive! expects to grow its total number of franchise locations into triple figures between 2022 and 2027. This will entail more than doubling the workforce, recruiting 200 more SMART technicians. It’s a significant expansion for the business that will take a lot of work to execute, but after Revive!’s most successful year yet, the franchise is confident in its ambitious five-year plan.
In the words of UK Operations Director, Andy Hupfield, “We are tremendously excited about the opportunities ahead after announcing our expansion plans at our recent national conference, and we now need to recruit the right people to help achieve this. I would encourage any talented and ambitious SMART repair and bodywork technicians to contact us. [...] We recently celebrated our best sales year ever with multiple franchises exceeding £1m in annual turnover. We have more than 50 franchise owners who see the same opportunities we do and are motivated more than ever to expand their teams and grow their businesses.”
Andy continued, “Revive! has made huge strides over the last two years with investments in IT efficiencies and digital marketing. With the opening of our bespoke IMI accredited training centre in 2020, we have the facilities and expertise to grow our team of over 200 fully trained repairers to more than 400 over the next five years. We are growing and so we are hiring. As we continue to grow, we will continue to hire.”
If you’d like to become a part of Revive!’s five-year plan, facilitating growth and success for the brand and adding to the total number of franchise locations, you can become a Revive! franchisee for a minimum initial investment of £20,000, with a total investment cost of £50,000.
