Schmidt helps the home-working revolution

Kitchen franchise and interior decorating specialist Schmidt explained how its franchisees are ready to help remote workers revamp their office spaces.

With so many more of us now embracing remote working as a long-term option, people across the country are investing in revamping their home offices. And with stamp duty cuts saving home buyers a significant amount of money, Schmidt is hoping many of them will choose to reinvest this cash into their interiors.

Rosalyn Hastings, Schmidt’s UK expansion manager, said:

A home office now tops the list of home buyers' demands, according to estate agent surveys - and Schmidt franchisees are perfectly placed to supply them.

Considering many people now say they prefer working from home for at least some of the working week, Schmidt’s 20+ UK franchisees could soon see a boom in demand for their office, kitchen and bathroom solutions. Already, many are reporting more interest in Schmidt’s fitted designer furniture, including desks, cupboards and bookcases. Even if customers don’t feel comfortable visiting a showroom, they can use the Creativ’Box online design tool to build their brand new office space.

As stamp duty reductions will apply until March 31st 2021, prospective homeowners still have plenty of time to take advantage of the savings to make their new property into their dream home. Thanks to this new home-working trend, many of Schmidt’s franchisees are enjoying great cashflow, as customers pay for work before any materials are ordered.

Rosalyn continued:

We are continuing our expansion plans and welcome applications from ambitious prospective franchise partners. We are looking to the future and we are seeking forward-looking people to come with us.
