Disheartened with a career that he felt was stagnating, events manager Mark Edmans visited a Franchise Exhibition in London. He admits the visit was primarily to assess a rival exhibition company, and that, at the time, he had just a passing interest in franchised businesses. Three months after the show Mark bought the Dream Doors Chilterns franchise which he now runs from its showroom in Chesham with the help of his sister, Amanda.

“I wasn’t happy with my career, and felt I was under-appreciated in my last job. I visited the franchise exhibition in London and, after speaking to Dream Doors for a long time, I realised I could use my existing skills to work for myself. From that moment I was convinced it was the right move for me, and that I really didn’t want to carry on working for other people.

After spending time with the personnel involved with Dream Doors, I immediately became comfortable with them. I could see this was a genuine franchise, and that there’s lots of support in all aspects of the business. It’s also very much a people business, and one that capitalises on my sales, marketing and management skills.
