Meet Ffion, Kristy, and Adrian: New Time For You Franchise Owners!‍

Every successful business has its own story, and we’re excited to share the journey of Ffion, Kristy, and Adrian. Recently, this family team decided to take a big step by starting their own Time For You franchise, covering the Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill and East Grinstead areas. As brand-new franchise owners, they’re diving into an exciting opportunity that brings them closer to their goals. Let’s explore what motivated them to take this leap and how they’re planning to make an impact in their community.

Discovering the Right Opportunity

The decision to own a Time For You franchise didn’t happen overnight. Ffion, Kristy, and Adrian spent over two years researching different business opportunities, weighing their options, and considering how a franchise might fit with their lifestyle. But it wasn’t until they spotted a Time For You franchise ad in a magazine that they seriously started considering this path.

Curious, they reached out to learn more and soon connected with John, our franchise sales manager, and other franchise owners who shared their experiences. After talking to people in the business, they began to see how well the franchise model could work for them. They loved the flexibility it offered and felt excited about becoming part of a network where they could make a real difference!

Start Up Training

Starting a business can feel overwhelming, however, the initial start up training provided by Time For You was key in helping Ffion, Kristy, and Adrian feel ready. "The interactivenes and openness of the conversations really helped," they shared. The training included real-life examples and practical discussions that showed them what to expect in their new roles.

Learning from the experiences of other franchisees gave them confidence and valuable insights. By hearing about other people’s journeys, they could better picture what it would take to make their own business a success. The training left them feeling prepared, confident and motivated to launch their new venture.

Embracing a Flexible Work-Life Balance

One of the biggest reasons they chose franchising was the flexibility it offers. In a traditional 9-5 job, it’s often difficult to manage both work and personal commitments. But as franchise owners, Ffion, Kristy, and Adrian now have the freedom to set their own hours and create a schedule that works for their lives. "We’re looking forward to the freedom of being our own bosses, meeting new people, and having a positive impact in our community," they said.

This new way of working has given them the chance to fit their business around other priorities. They can balance work with family time, trips to the gym, and social activities without needing to ask for time off or compromise on the hours they want to work. The independence of owning a Time For You franchise means they can decide how best to balance their business responsibilities with personal commitments—a change they’ve welcomed wholeheartedly! 

As parents and individuals with busy lives, they appreciate how flexible franchising can be, making it possible to grow a business while still being available for family events or personal activities. For them, work-life balance is no longer an elusive goal; it’s part of their everyday routine, and they look forward to shaping their schedules as they settle into their new roles.

Setting Goals for the First Year

As they launch their business, Ffion, Kristy, and Adrian have some big goals. Their primary aim is to build a strong local reputation by providing reliable, high-quality cleaning services in Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill and East Grinstead. "We want to build a trusted brand in our community and reach 100 clients within our first year," they explained, setting a solid goal to work toward.

They plan to focus on building connections with both clients and their team of cleaners. By combining online and offline marketing, they hope to reach new customers while building a loyal client base. Clear communication and a commitment to service quality will be key to establishing their business in the community.

Learning and Adapting Along the Way

As new business owners, Ffion, Kristy, and Adrian know they’ll have challenges to face. One of the areas they’re most aware of is sales, a skill that none of them have a lot of experience with. "None of us have had 'sales' based jobs before, so that’s an area we’ll need to get some practice in," they admitted. But rather than seeing it as a drawback, they’re excited about learning and growing in this area.

Their strong people skills and eagerness to learn will help them tackle this new challenge. Like many first-time business owners, they understand that the learning curve will be steep but are confident in their ability to adapt as they go. Every challenge will bring them closer to achieving their goals.

Advice for Aspiring Franchise Owners

For anyone considering a similar path, Ffion, Kristy, and Adrian shared some advice: "The support from Head Office has been fantastic," they said. "There’s always someone available to answer questions or offer guidance." They’ve found the franchise network and the resources provided by Time For You to be an important source of support as they get started.

They emphasise that, although starting a franchise requires hard work and dedication, having a reliable support network can make a big difference. From getting answers to questions to learning best practices, the guidance from the Time For You team has given them confidence as they set out on this new journey!

Looking Ahead: Building a Strong Business and Having a Positive Impact

As Ffion, Kristy, and Adrian begin this new chapter, they’re motivated by the opportunity to grow a business that makes a difference in their community. They’re ready to build their reputation, learn along the way, and reach their goals. It’s just the beginning for these new franchise owners, but with their enthusiasm and focus, they’re sure to make a positive impact in Haywards Heath and East Grinstead.

Welcome to the Time For You family, Ffion, Kristy, and Adrian—your story is only just beginning, and we can’t wait to see the great things you accomplish!
