Local Treasures Eastbourne
Ric is making waves in Eastbourne
Ric joined Local Treasures in January 2026. His territory covers Eastbourne, Lewes and Peacehaven in East Sussex. Ric was looking for a business opportunity which he could build to deliver a generous annual income whilst building a future nest egg. Ric is using his community network to tell the people of Eastbourne about the range of helpful home services that Local Treasures delivers.
Ric was attracted to the Local Treasures automated operating system. He saw the benefit of having a system which manages the full customer journey (from booking through to invoicing and payments), which frees our franchisees up to concentrate on growing their business. Ric also bought into the ongoing support from Sarah and Nick, the founders of Local Treasures.
“I like the way I could build a business which could earn me a good income, whilst supporting my local community.”
