From coffee machine salesperson to business owner!

Reading Time: < 1 minute

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Gregory – who had spent 30+ years selling high-end coffee machines to businesses up and down the country – found himself in a position where demand for the products he once relied upon to make a living dried up.

Gregory, along with many others, spent months at home home-schooling his son. It was a real change of pace, but one that led Gregory to re-evaluate what he wanted to do next.

He began searching for franchise opportunities but struggled to find anything that felt right for him. Until that is, he came across The Cat Butler.

Gregory said:

“I’ve always had cats, sometimes up to seven at a time – all with their little peculiarities! With the huge growth in the number of pet cats in the local area, The Cat Butler opportunity really appealed to me.

I’ve come across various cat sitting outfits in my time as a pet owner. One thing that never really felt right for me was this perception that it’s enough just to pop in, leave some food and go. Cats need so much more than this – they need chin rubs, affection, and somebody to wait on them, hand and foot. They need somebody who has real empathy and knowledge of how to care for them.

With my cat owner hat on, I knew how much I would value the premium services that The Cat Butler were offering, and I could see there is a huge demand for them in my local area. There isn’t anybody else around here providing the same level of service.

On a more personal level, it also allows me to enjoy a more flexible work-life balance and spend more time at home with my family. All, of course, while interacting with cats – which I just love!”

It’s been two months since Gregory launched The Cat Butler Bromley. The phones are ringing off the hook, emails are coming in thick and fast, and he is already on track for a great first year of trading!
