The UK’s fast-growing kitchen renovations brand, Kitchen Makeovers, is celebrating after having achieved its best six months in business on record. With new Franchise Development Manager Jon Head having joined the team and a recent achievement of gaining over 1,000 reviews, co-founders Will Frankling and Matt Oakley have been proudly celebrating with their network of franchisees.
“It’s empowering to see how all our recent efforts to improve the business have been proven successful – so much so that August was our most profitable month since launching in 2018,” said Will. “It’s been a significantly successful year for Kitchen Makeovers, almost doubling the size of our franchise network within the last 12 months. Our overarching goal in 2025 is to reach the milestone number of 50 franchisees across the UK. Our recent success is proof that we’re well on the way to this being a reality.”
Having worked in the home renovations industry for more than 30 years, Jon Head is no stranger to the sales and B2B side of the industry. Yet, his new role has proven to be a big shift for both himself and Kitchen Makeovers.
“Working with Kitchen Makeovers has been a real career highlight to date,” explained Jon. “My role is varied but I take such personal satisfaction in supporting franchisees in the daily operations of their franchise. As a brand, we’ve invested significantly in putting the right support structure in place for our network, and I believe my joining the team has really solidified that.”
Jon’s previous experience in various roles such as National Sales Manager for a number of Kitchen Makeovers’ suppliers, has provided him with the relevant insider knowledge on how to work efficiently with suppliers. By offering this unique perspective, Jon is the perfect extension of Kitchen Makeover’s team.
Since starting in the new role, on and the head office team have taken significant steps to improve franchisee training by extending initial training to an in-depth five-day course. Jon has even supported suppliers by connecting them with franchisees, facilitating on-site training – for both new and more established franchisees.
“I hope I can continue to evolve the brand even further next year by increasing my time out on the field with franchisees as well as adding more dynamic franchisee training on difficult areas, such as sales, which based on feedback is a topic that can feel intimidating to new business owners,” added Jon.
‘I’m thrilled to welcome Jon to our team – he’s built such a fantastic rapport with the network already and was a key spokesperson at our recent network conference,” said Will. “He has been instrumental in the success of Kitchen Makeovers in recent months – we couldn’t have done it without him. We can’t wait to see what he will go on to achieve as we look to 2025 and beyond.”
