A couple on a mission to make Portsmouth\u2019s ovens the cleanest in Britain, have won a major industry award.<\/p>\n

Dean and Amy Wilson\u2019s life of grime with Ovenclean Portsmouth has paid off\"Picture1\" with\u00a0an\u00a0impressive win in the Great British Franchisee Awards \u2013 one of the highest honours in the franchising world.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to be the biggest franchise Ovenclean have,\u201d says Dean, \u201cand we\u2019re fairly sure we\u2019re the biggest oven-cleaning operation locally.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019d like to grow it further, and I know it\u2019s feasible as there\u2019s such a fantastic demand for the service. Ideally, we\u2019d hope to add an extra van to our operation every two years.\u201d
\nAnnabel Hall, Franchise Support Manager for the Ovenclean network, says Dean and Amy always go above and beyond to keep customers happy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is evident in their amazing 1,300+ Checkatrade reviews, not to mention all their Google and Trustpilot reviews,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re especially pleased to see them grow and develop their business around family life \u2013 enabling them to achieve the balance they really wanted from running their own business, which is obviously so important.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dean says the couple quickly got up to 3 cleans per day and then took his brother on to join the team around 18 months in.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve recently had to stop taking on new customers as we can\u2019t fulfil the demand from our regular clients. Keeping up with customer demand can be a challenge \u2013 especially around key times of the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve grown the business steadily though and now we\u2019re up to three vans and able to service a lot more customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough we owned our own business in Spain before joining Ovenclean, being a franchisee and growing the business into a multi-van operation meant we had to learn to manage multiple diaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we haven\u2019t got high standards, we haven\u2019t got a business, so we love achieving a wow factor for our customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m also a mentor and help to train new starters as and when they join the network. I\u2019ve probably trained in the region of 10 so far, and thoroughly enjoy it. It\u2019s great to watch their confidence grow and see them thrive in their new business.<\/p>\n

Dean and Amy are keen to give credit where it\u2019s due. \u201cWe\u2019re a family-run business and wouldn\u2019t be anywhere near as successful if it weren\u2019t for our team,\u201d comments Dea\"Picture2\"n.<\/p>\n

\u201cMark, my brother, has worked for us for eight years and George, my nephew, has been working for us for five years. They\u2019ve been instrumental in everything that\u2019s led to us winning this much-coveted award.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe feel really honoured to have our achievements with Ovenclean honoured in this way, and can\u2019t wait to see what the future holds in store for us. We\u2019re determined to keep growing and developing our business, whilst being able to work it around our family, which is the most important part!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
