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\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 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\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s business was the cherry on top &#8211; it means that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve 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\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Operator, having joined Ed\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 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\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s training, which is great. I feel like I already know Lucy well as the process has been so thorough. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve just completed the paperwork and I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t wait to get started.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>We wish both Lucy and John all the very best for the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ed\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s is delighted to welcome John Spencer on board.
