It\u2019s well worth a read, not only to catch up on all the developments, but also to help you if you\u2019re thinking about changing up your working life for the better:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Big name partnership causes a huge splash<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At the start of the year, Optic-Kleer announced that it is now an approved repairer for Auto Windscreens, one of the UK\u2019s biggest names in windscreen services, with 60,000+ top-rated reviews and the coveted ServiceMark accreditation. This partnership is a huge deal as it means Optic-Kleer franchisees are now trusted as operators by pretty much every major motor insurance company in the UK, meaning more work, higher-value jobs, and greater brand recognition than ever before.<br \/>\nEven in the first few weeks alone, everyone noticed an instant improvement in their workload and income.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;The partnership with Auto Windscreens has put both companies in a leading and industry-changing position.&#8221;<\/em> \u2013 Chris, Optic-Kleer Franchisee.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Working smarter not harder with the right tech solution<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you don\u2019t know the industry, windscreen repair might look like a pretty simple business on the surface, but there is actually an awful lot to manage behind the scenes &#8211; especially when you\u2019re rapidly becoming a household name right across the UK. Which is why Optic-Kleer has invested heavily in building its own in-house software, designed to simplify every part of the business from job booking, through to invoicing and book-keeping.<\/p>\n<p>That means less time spent on admin, and more time spent growing the business \u2013 and given just how much is pouring in after the new Auto Windscreens partnership was announced, it\u2019s not a moment too soon!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Optic-Kleer shortlisted for top franchising award<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>All these developments haven\u2019t gone unnoticed. Optic-Kleer has also been nominated for the British Franchise Association\u2019s Research &amp; Development Award, a much-coveted category which recognises franchises that empower their networks through meaningful innovation.<\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s not just the Optic-Kleer leadership who are celebrating \u2013 it\u2019s their franchisees, too. The numbers speak for themselves:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Repair volume up <strong>12%<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Average job value up <strong>24.5%<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Network revenue up <strong>39.5%<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Franchisee payment time down <strong>78%<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Some franchisees hitting <strong>\u00a310k+ a month<\/strong> for the first time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It really has been quite a year\u2026 and this is just the beginning. The rest of 2025, and into 2026, is going to be just as stellar, making this a better time than ever before to get involved. In fact, we&#8217;ve already had 4 new franchisees join the network in just the last few months, and 2 more getting ready to schedule their training.<\/p>\n<p>Interest is growing, and territories are filling up fast.
