A thriving West Yorkshire business has reached a significant milestone – just six years since its formation.
Ovenu West Yorkshire, which covers Huddersfield, Halifax, Bradford, Leeds and Wakefield, has completed 10,000 oven valets since 2008.
That’s the quickest to 10,000 of all Ovenu franchises across the country.
To celebrate the accomplishment, Richard Greenwood, who owns the West Yorkshire operation and employs three sub-contractors, carried out the 1,000th valet for free – much to the delight of customer Simone Wadcock.
Mr Greenwood said: “I am delighted to have achieved such a significant milestone in just six years of trading.
“I knew after taking on the business that there was potential for expansion and scope for success and I am fortunate to have such a hardworking and dedicated team on board.
“Of course, none of this would be possible without the support of my loyal customer base. A lot of our business comes from repeat custom and I can’t thank them enough.
“I am now looking forward to seeing the business grow further and celebrating more milestones in the future.”
Said Richard: “Simone is a long-standing customer of Ovenu’s and I hope she enjoys her free valet, which is a fitting way to celebrate our 10,000th clean.”
Ovenu is a franchise network made up of more than 100 small businessman and women working throughout the UK.
Rik Hellewell, managing director and founder of Ovenu, said: “I would like to congratulate Richard on reaching his 10,000th oven clean, which is a remarkable achievement.
“Richard is a really good example of someone who has invested in the brand and built it up on his own patch and I would like to wish him and his team all the best going forward.”
