John buys Lucy’s Ed’s business

Ed’s is delighted to welcome John Spencer on board. John has just joined Ed’s as our brand new Ed’s Operator in Maidenhead. This is as a result of our veteran Operator, Lucy Williams, selling her business to him.

This is what John has to say about coming on board “I am very excited about being part of Ed’s team and also about taking over Lucy’s business. My background is in sales and I really wanted to get out of that Corporate environment and make a positive lifestyle change for me and my family. I knew that a garden maintenance franchise ticked all the boxes for what I was looking for. I considered several but as soon as I met Ed and the team I could see that Ed’s was a great franchise to be part of. They are very dynamic, professional, clearly know exactly what they are doing and explain everything clearly and in a very supportive and friendly way. They took their time to go through the details of the investment opportunity and it was easy to understand the value of their business model. I knew I would fit right in and that it was definitely the right franchise for me. The opportunity to purchase Lucy’s business was the cherry on top – it means that I’ve got a good bank of high quality customers from day one and that makes me even more comfortable about any business risk. Lucy is clearly a very experienced Ed’s Operator, having joined Ed’s seven years ago, and I have great confidence in the quality of the business I am buying. Lucy will be taking her time in handing over the reins of the business to me, which will ensure a smooth handover. She will also helping with my general Ed’s training, which is great. I feel like I already know Lucy well as the process has been so thorough. We’ve just completed the paperwork and I can’t wait to get started.”

We wish both Lucy and John all the very best for the future.
