Case Study - Peter Holford

Peter emigrated from South Africa this year in search of setting up his own business in the UK. After thorough research, he decided that Just Shutters was the ideal business opportunity that he was looking for.

For the past 10 years Peter had run his own carpentry business in South Africa and was looking to remain working with wood. Although owning a franchise was not his plan, Just Shutters professionalism and business idea was just what he was looking for.

Peter explains, “I am due to start training in a couple of weeks and I am very much looking forward to getting started. I am excited about generating new business!”

“Having been my own boss for 30 years, working for someone else did not appeal to me. After looking around for some inspiration and looking at businesses for sale, I stumbled on Just Shutters.

The business was very professional, the franchise package looked brilliant, the product is of a very high standard and the business prospects are very impressive. After doing some research I decided to go ahead, it was an easy decision for me.”  

Peter was born in South Africa and lived there until this year. Peter now lives with his wife in Weybridge, just up the road from his Just Shutters territory in Guilford. 

Peter plans to run his Just Shutters business from home initially, with the idea of building the business up to either sell on or employ management to provide money for retirement.
