Wheel of fortune

The Wheel Specialist has bucked industry trends by reporting more than £1m in gross monthly sales in recent months.

The Wheel Specialist is a franchise operation with 27 sites in the UK and claims to be the only company to provide a full wheel refurbishment process from fixed premises.

Since deciding to franchise the business in 2007, the company has constantly grown, seeing turnover increase every year. It registered more than £10m in gross sales in 2018, and is well on target to break a new record this year.

Richard Higson, national development manager, said, ‘It has been a testament to our fantastic brand, quality of service, and dedication to uphold our company standards by our franchisees, that has helped us to forge the path forward and bought us to this landmark achievement. We have strong plans to develop and grow our network throughout 2019/2020.’

Ginny Murphy QFP, CEO and founder, added, ‘Breaking through the million pound a month goal has been a fantastic achievement and I am proud of the tremendous dedication and focus of our network of franchisees and all the team here at HQ, without them this would never have been possible.

‘We have reached this goal during what have been some of the most volatile periods within the economy for decades. And we are only half way towards our planned market penetration! So, I am very excited at our future prospects as we open more branches and recruit more franchisees to help meet the ever-growing demand for our services.’
