century-celebrations-ovenclean-1Following a hugely successful few years for Ovenclean – the UK’s original and leading professional oven cleaning specialist, they are delighted to announce James Arthur as the 100th franchisee to join the nationwide network.

To help celebrate, £100 worth of free Ovenclean products, champagne and balloons were laid on for James on the first day of his two week comprehensive training course at the Midlands-based Head Office.

James is very proud to become the 100th member of the Ovenclean network and cannot wait to get started, serving South Macclesfield, Congleton and the surrounding areas.

“Ovenclean kept it a surprise from me, and what a lovely surprise it was too! I couldn’t believe it – such an amazing way to start this new venture! I feel very lucky and honoured and know that with the support of the fantastic team at Head Office, I can make this next stage in my life a huge success.”

James, who previously worked in the charity sector managing a team of twelve people to raise an astonishing £3m, before becoming a professional yachtsman for two years, knew investing century-celebrations-ovenclean-2in an the Ovenclean franchise was the right decision after attending an open day where he was extremely impressed with the professionalism of the Head Office team.

Tim Harris, Ovenclean CEO concludes, “We are delighted to welcome James on board. We have been working really hard over the last few years to build the brand and the network by a substantial 144%, and reaching 100 franchisees is a real achievement! The introduction of the central advertising fund has helped make a massive difference – really making sure we’re achieving maximum online exposure, and may even allow for some TV advertising in the not too distant future. It is certainly a very exciting time to be part of this dynamic and growing franchise and we look forward to working with James and the rest of the network to progress even further!”
