The former telecoms marketing manager ditched the long hours and high pressure that went with his old job for a lifestyle that allows him to spend more time with his young family, enjoy a good income, and work shorter days.

ChipsAway currently has around 350 franchisees providing top quality repairs on a same day basis from fully equipped mobile workshops. This year the company is celebrating 15 years of successful operation in the UK.

Mr Ide said: “I’m happy with my independence and the work-life balance I’ve achieved. I love what I do and take pride in the quality of my repairs. As a result I have built up a good reputation locally and I’m never short of work.

“The ChipsAway franchise team are professional and friendly; they know their business and they provide outstanding support. Joining them was definitely a really smart move,” he added.
