Franchisee Success Story: How Sander Built a Thriving Local Treasures Franchise
Redundancy was the opportunity to be the boss
When Sander was made redundant from his sales role, he faced a big question: what next? Rather than return to the corporate world, he decided it was time to take control of his future — and start a business he could be proud of.
With a passion for practical work, Sander joined Local Treasures as a handyman. He quickly discovered that he loved more than just the hands-on jobs – he thrived on talking with customers, understanding their needs, and helping them get things done around the house and garden.
Growing Through Recommendations
So when Local Treasures launched its franchise opportunity, Sander didn’t hesitate – he became the very first franchisee.
By focusing on handyman and gardening services, Sander has built a thriving Local Treasures franchise and taken his territory by storm. His diary is full, his customers are loyal, and his business continues to grow month after month.
Sander now runs a team of 40 Treasures throughout his territory, all with a range of skills.
“I’d found something I loved doing, and becoming a franchisee meant I could turn that passion into my own business.”
