It’s been a busy start to 2012 for Cloud Bookkeeping and its founder Mandy Bagot, who has recruited five new franchisees in less than two months.

Providing their training has been demanding but Mandy is enjoying expanding the franchise network: “It’s been such an exciting year already and I love training and passing my knowledge and experience on to others so they too can build their own successful businesses.”

The new franchisees are:

Saskia Gravett – Chelmsford
Saskia has a law degree and has also been a veterinary nurse is the past. She has three boys and decided to join Cloud Bookkeeping to work around her family life. Saskia is already making great connections with her local accountants and business owners.

Mike Du Triou - Woking
Originally from South Africa, Mike has worked for Vodacom and ICL, today known as Fujitsu. Recently ICB qualified, he is looking forward to building his business in the Woking area.

Howard Elliott – Kingston
A former hair salon owner, Howard has always done bookkeeping for his various business ventures. Joining Cloud Bookkeeping made perfect sense and Howard has already been working on his first client even though he’s only just launched.

Mandy Mullarkey – Swindon
