Radical Changes To Jani-King’s Franchise Recruitment

The Franchise Magazine:

Contract cleaning franchise Jani-King has radically changed its franchise owner recruitment strategy and is now actively seeking high quality candidates.

Ian Thomas, Chairman of Jani-King, said: “We’ve recognised the need for a strategy that’s based on mutual professional investment, not just a capital contribution. Reflecting our own evolution as a business, our future growth now depends on the quality of individuals that join us, not the quantity – and that’s something that we’re keen to communicate to potential franchise owners.”

For Jani-King this change in strategy was an important decision and one that will have an impact on the franchise network in the future. Thomas said: “In the last couple of years we’ve completely changed our approach to delivering services. We’ve raised standards and secured multi-million pound contracts with blue-chip clients like Travelodge, Odeon Cinemas, H&M and Monsoon. As a result, we need partners who understand the importance of professionalism and are committed to nurturing the relationships we’ve worked so hard to establish. That means recruiting a select number of high-calibre individuals, and investing just as much in their future as they invest in ours.”
