Initially I was going to try and launch a business of my own as an electrician but after investigating it I found that it was not as easy as I thought it would be…
I had thought about franchising but didn’t know that it was available for electricians. When I found out about ElecLocal the two came together.’
Previously owning a business in moulding plastic and fibreglass Darren decided he wanted a change of direction. Franchising was the perfect option as he enjoyed being his own boss but wanted the support a franchise offers.
Before launching his business in Norwich on the 10th April this year Darren completed the 13 week ElecLocal training programme at the company’s official training provider in Rotherham.
‘The training was very good, I felt it was professional and had an air of quality about it,’ he reflects. ‘All candidates have to go through a selection with ElecLocal and if you don’t meet their criteria then you can’t go on and train. It builds up your confidence as you know they are not just taking anyone.’
