Having spent the last few years working nights, and seeing less of his family than he would have liked, he realised it was time for a change of direction.

He said: “I wanted to work for myself. Managing staff can be challenging and exhausting, so I wanted a business that I could operate as an individual.”

He spotted the Ovenclean franchise, and was impressed by the concept, recognising the huge market potential and strong business model, and feeling reassured by the professional expertise and support behind the brand.

Having met with the Ovenclean management team, Mr Bartram was convinced that it was the ideal opportunity for him.

He said: “It is early days, but I have been busier than I could ever have imagined. I’m enjoying the freedom, I work less hours and I feel so much more relaxed. Life has definitely improved for me.”
