Revive!’s first launch of 2025, Revive! Wakefield is headed up by former AA Roadside Assistant Richard Senior. Prior to setting up the Wakefield branch Richard did a lot of research into the options he had on the table, including self-employment and general franchising, but with a keen interest in the motor trade he came across Revive! through the British Franchising Association. Upon further inspection Richard found Revive!’s stellar customer reviews, awards wins and packed YouTube channel and decided to make contact to see how the process would progress.
Richard chose to go into franchising due to the significant support opportunities afforded by the franchisor. Revive!’s established package of training and support gave him a sense of security and feeling a part of a great brand.
With a keen interest in the industry, Richard was fascinated by the SMART repair process and would become engrossed in the various videos online explaining the process.
During the process of building up his business plan he became aware of a significant gap in the market in the Wakefield area and realised the significance of the opportunity in from of him.
Knowing that any help he needed was just at the end of a phone call to head office was a big reassurance for Richard as despite his skills in the trade he often felt overwhelmed with the numerous procedures involved in the marketing and financials side of his business.
Richard’s short-term goals for Revive! Wakefield are to get his two technicians out on the road in Wakefield and fill their diaries with work to complete, not only to get to grips with the process but to also establish a level of customer/brand recognition in the area. He will then look to recruit up to 5 technicians over the next five years before exploring the possibility of opening a Rapid Repair Unit to serve the Wakefield territory.
