Franchise Success Stories

Want to experience huge growth with a resale business? That’s exactly what business partners Peter Brown and Paul Maruna did.

The partners have now been trading for just over 2 years after purchasing Croydon as a resale franchise at the end of 2009. Throughout this time the Martin & Co franchisees have been star performers for the brand.

The figures reported for the Croydon office reflect this success. Over the last year the office has experienced dramatic growth of 41% in turnover!

The business has continued to go from strength to strength proving that following the right systems and processes reinforced and by our head office function a resale can turn into a very successful and money making business.

This extraordinary growth was recognised the 2011 annual conference with the office being awarded with the Fastest Growing Business. This award celebrates the passion for results and customer service demonstrated by Martin & Co franchise owners Peter, Paul and their team who have been successful in growing the business year on year.

Commenting on the award, Richard Martin, Chairman said that Peter and Paul had not only achieved superb results but had “instantly embraced everything that Martin & Co stands for – integrity, professionalism and straight-talking, good advice. Landlords and tenants alike clearly know where they stand and I have been really impressed with the positive feedback I have received.”

The benefits of buying a resale business are clear. You have an income from day one which typically increases significantly under new ownership.
