In some cases the father will provide the necessary financial backing, but take a back seat in running the business, while other partnerships operate as a team.

Tunbridge Wells franchise owners John Waters, 56, and his son Mark, 30, have been working together since December 2008. 

John Waters said: “The franchise gave us both the chance to move in a new direction and get a successful business up and running. Initially Mark went out in the van, while I focused more on the admin side of things. Now we’ve moved on to the next level and employed two fitters for our vans, so that we can fully focus on growing the business. the secret to working as a father and son team is to giving each other space and not taking one another for granted.”

The etyres franchise operates either as a sole trader or a management opportunity, and full training and support are provided.
