At the very beginning the PowerPlug concept leant itself to Franchising by delivering extraordinary levels of personal commitment to each and every client at all levels within the client organisation.
By providing commerce and industry with an ethical, low cost, high quality service, centred solely on Portable Appliance Testing PowerPlug has been able to grow organically by client referral absorbing the gross turnover loss of some 60% each year. The unique side benefit of this "win win " strategy for both client and PowerPlug alike is to have driven client expansion without exposing PowerPlug to the risks normally associated with business growth. It is within this environment that the Franchisees are slowly nurtured to stand on their own two feet steadily building their individual businesses.
Rewards are considerable for those possessing the necessary skills and qualities to succeed in what is a physically demanding yet enormously satisfying role. Rewards are strictly geared at all levels of the organisation to tests and a typical first year gross turnover should be circa £18-£22,000. Once established both Level 1 and Level 2 Franchisees would expect to be grossing a little under £30,000 possibly more. Level 2 performances directly correlate to the number and size of account secured but assuming reasonable success, turnover would likely be in the order of high £30,000's moving through into the £40,000's per year.
The unique PowerPlug concept enables all levels of Franchisee to work on each others accounts thereby increasing the Franchisees corporate presence but more particularly clearing the job through quickly and efficiently to payment. Once paid then the money is then distributed on behalf of the account owner to those parties involved in the respective test programme.
Full training, equipment, back up is all provided. The three-month induction programme culminates with the PowerPlug Award of Competence and the achieving of City and Guilds in Portable Appliance Inspection and Testing.
