As an automotive franchisor you might assume that many of our franchisees have built their careers around the automotive industry, whether that be through sales, maintenance, insurance or fleet management. That might be true for some of our Revive! business owners, but others couldn’t have been further from it. Our Franchisees come from all backgrounds ranging from the oil industry and the military to hospitality and construction.
Revive! Crewe – Flooring Business
For example, Ethan Rozario, owner of Revive! Crewe started his career as part of his father’s flooring business. After spending time in the flooring business Ethan had not only learnt a lot but had also helped grow the business into a significant enterprise in the Crewe area.
Ethan discovered Revive! when looking for a SMART repair for his own vehicle and soon recognised the opportunity in front of him. Revive! gave Ethan the chance to run his own business, and be the master of his own destiny, whilst having the support of a major industry name behind him taking a lot of the work out of his hands.
Revive! Sussex Coast – Finance Sector
Originally Anthony Wilcock was working as a money broker, stockbroker and overall financial advisor, however Anthony had grown tired of the endless commuting and the corporate financial world as a whole. After deciding to take a break from his position Anthony investigated the possibility of owning his own business.
During this process he looked at a number of different franchises and really liked the feeling he got from Revive!. Upon beginning discussions with Revive!, Anthony quickly realised that the question wasn’t whether he wanted to open a franchise, but whether they wanted him to represent their brand. This reassured him that Revive! prioritised selecting the right people over simply taking on anyone willing to pay the franchise fee.
Revive! Exeter – IT
Scott Jaques had been working in the IT sector for 20 years as a software developer before he decided he wanted a change. He had been finding that spending so much time in software development had gotten become increasingly boring due to the lack of personal reward he felt. To combat this, he made the decision to go into self-employment with his long-term friend Jon Kay.
Following extensive research into business and franchising opportunities, Scott and Jon found impressive feedback for the Revive! business as a whole with very favourable feedback from franchisees and an impressive awards list to go with it. One of the key things Scott wanted when investing in a business was for it to be a scalable management franchising opportunity. Both he and Jon wanted the opportunity to be flexible as both have growing families, they wanted the ability to build something that could grow to a larger operation in time.
Revive! Plymouth– Hospitality
For Martyn and Carly Traber buying a Revive! franchise was all about restoring their work life balance. With Martyn managing a local hotel, and Carly working in a coffee shop, having a whole weekend together was almost impossible. And it was just before Christmas 2022 that the couple finally decided to look for a business opportunity that would allow them to take control of their own destiny and spend more time with their two young children. As complete newcomers to the motor industry, the couple appreciate the ongoing support given to them by the Revive! head office team.
Coming from a hotel manager position, Martyn knew a bit about business, but he admits he never knew the full extent of having a business of his own. As a manager he didn’t see the full picture. “I’ve learned a lot about owning your own business, and how you go about things. There’s so much to learn when you look at the many ‘hats’ you’ve got to put on,” comments Martyn. One of the biggest learning curves he and Carly had to learn is how to spin all those different plates at the same time and get it all right.
Revive! Barnsley – Basketball
Clayfell Harris boasts an impressive CV, from playing basketball all across the USA and Europe to then building up his experience working in logistics and operations over nine years. But he had always wanted to open up his own business though, to be able to call something his own. It was for this reason that Clayfell completed his master’s degree in business administration.
While his business partner had performed a lot of research into Revive! through the BFA, Clayfell performed his own research into the company including getting in touch with a number of current franchisees. Through his investigation he found that Revive!’s support in establishing franchisees is second to none and this was one of the key reasons behind his decision to join Revive!
