“Poppies has given me the flexibility and security that was missing from my previous career. It’s certainly brought a breath of fresh air, right from the very moment I took over the business in August 2013. Poppies has offered me the safety blanket of having a specific model to follow, whilst injecting my own flair and personality into the service - it’s grown into a business that I’m proud of.” Katie and Lee – Chester Franchisees

“It’s fantastic to be a part of a franchise that’s solely driven by helping franchisees build a successful and in-demand service to our communities,” Emma – Stockport Franchisee

2. Business-minded
3. Methodical and motivated
4. Proud and personable 
5. Willing to reinvest to grow your business
