"Anyone can paint a car. Revive taught me how to start and build a business"
At Revive! we look for aptitude and personal attributes in our franchisees, rather than particular experience - we know we can train the right person successfully.
Because of this, our franchisees come from many and varied backgrounds, such as The Forces, Managers in Industry, Former publicans, IT, ...and many others!

We understand that starting your own business is a big decision, and one that you must make carefully. As you progress through the selection procedure, we provide all the information you need, and give you access to our current network of franchisees to talk about their experiences, and to help you make that decision sensibly.
The case studies below are typical examples of franchisees at various stages in the development of their businesses, and their 'best so far' monthly sales figures:
Byron Lindsay Franchisee in South of England
Having spent a number of years working outside the UK as an Installation Engineer for a large commercial laundry equipment manufacturer Byron wanted a life style change that would allow him to return to the UK and become his own boss.
Byron got off to a great start when he launched his business in April 2008 achieving sales of over £4,500 in his first month. The next step in 2009 will be expanding his business with an employee in a second van.
Best month to date £5,320 + VAT
Chris Webster, Franchisee in North West England
After leaving an active forces career to work with Dave Baxendale in the Revive! business, Chris soon decided that he could become a successful franchisee himself, and earn more money. He bought a neighbouring territory (with Dave's full backing) and is now building a very successful business with five vans, and competing with his old boss each month!
Best Month So Far: £22,500
Dan Normanton, Franchisee in North West
From Employee to High Flyer!
Dan is an excellent example of the success of Team Revive! beginning his progress in the company as an employee of the local Manchester franchise before taking on his own franchise in 2007. Dan quickly developed solid customers and was even ready to expand his business, taking on his first employee after 3 months.
Best month £16,600 + VAT
David Baxendale, Franchisee in North West England
One of very few franchisees not involved in the day-to-day painting activities of the business, Dave continued for some time to work as in IT Consultant while his business initially grew under his management and direction. A previous 'Franchisee Of The Year' at our Annual Conference, Dave has just taken on his third employee, and sees his business maintaining high sales and strong growth.
Best Month So Far: £21,150
Paul Bayley, Franchisee in Midlands
Paul held a number of management positions in the engineering sector, responsible for up to 55 staff. Being a keen fan of all things automotive, he wanted to work with cars, and at the same time have the freedom of being his own boss and controlling his own income. Paul understands the potential that the Revive! Business model and support systems give him, and plans to use his management expertise to grow his business to a multi-van operation as rapidly as possible.
Best Month: £8600+VAT
