"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:
Chris Webster, Revive!
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
David Baxendale, Revive!
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
Ian Rudge, Revive!
Ian worked successfully as a manager for a large retail food chain, but wanted to be his own boss, and to control his own destiny. After looking carefully at the franchise opportunities available, he felt that Smart Repairs would be right for him, and was attracted by the large and exclusive territories offered by Revive! His excellent start is proving him right.
Launch week: £1120
Paul Bayley, Revive!
Paul held a number of management positions in the engineering sector, responsible for up to 55 staff.

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.
