International Chem-Dry Award Is The Crowning Glory For Finesse Chem-Dry

Finesse Chem-Dry have just won the 'Chem-Dry International Sub Franchise of the Year 2009' award.



    BEVERLEY, ENGLAND, May 10, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- What a 12 months it has proved to be for Bury based entrepreneur Peter Foster & his Finesse Chem-Dry franchise business. They have just won the 'Chem-Dry International Sub Franchise of the Year 2009' award, recently held at the glittering International Convention in Hawaii, USA. This achievement follows their success of being crowned UK Chem-Dry Franchise of the Year in June 2008.

It has been a meteoric rise for Peter, his wife Lisa and the Finesse Chem-Dry team, who initially got involved in the family business in 1998 to try and turn it into a full-time franchise operation. The business has since grown to a 650,000 turnover and has recently moved to a new 8,500 Sq foot industrial unit based in Bury and servicing 12 licence areas throughout Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside & Yorkshire.

The Finesse Chem-Dry business model is a benchmark and an inspiration for not just UK based Chem-Dry franchise operations, but other franchise operations too. Peter and his team have been able to use their strong business development background and organisational skills to produce a solid business plan.

Chem-Dry Franchising Ltd are one of the UK's leading organisations of professional carpet cleaners. All worldwide Chem-Dry Master Franchises, were invited to participate, by nominating a franchise to represent their country and Finesse Chem-Dry faced stiff opposition from various other international nominees and they are the deserved recipient of a trophy in recognition for their achievement.

Peter Foster, Franchise Owner of Finesse Chem-Dry, comments "This is a very proud moment for Lisa, me and the Finesse team; to say the last 12 months have been fantastic is an understatement. I regard being nominated as an achievement, but to win this award is overwhelming and very humbling. The UK Chem-Dry franchise network is blessed with a knowledge sharing culture and we are very lucky to have some dear friends within Chem-Dry, who we can approach, when advice is needed. When I look back at the past 10 years, at times it hasn't been easy, but recognition like this makes it all the worthwhile."

Mark Galsworthy, Franchise Director of Chem-Dry Franchising, comments "We are absolutely delighted that a UK Chem-Dry franchise has been recognised and won the International Sub Franchise of the Year Award for 2009. The Finesse Chem-Dry team are great role models for other aspiring Chem-Dry franchises, they exemplify what Chem-Dry is all about working tirelessly hard for their business, with enthusiasm to burn, continually striving for improvement and always willing to mentor new franchise members. On behalf of the UK Chem-Dry Franchise Network, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Peter & the Finesse team on a fantastic achievement, this award is thoroughly deserved."
