The latest addition to the All Trades Network family is Paul Dennis who launched the company's Liverpool branch in August. Paul is no stranger to the franchising industry - prior to joining All Trades Network the 42-year-old operated a contract cleaning franchise in his home city of Liverpool.

After seven years operating the successful operation, Paul believed that it was time for a change and was impressed with the opportunities offered by All Trades Network. "Straight away I could see the benefits of a business that provides a single source solution to insurance companies," he explained. "What's more the professionalism of the All Trades team was equally impressive, as was their drive and enthusiasm. All Trades really is a company that knows where it is going."

Paul follows in the footsteps of Alan Hobson and Chris Fielding who have also set up All Trades Network branches over the summer months. A former managing director of an IT software company, 53-year-old Alan is based in Winsford, Cheshire and his territory will cover mid-Cheshire, Stockport, south Warrington and parts of south Manchester.

Alan comments: "Since joining All Trades Network the training I have received has been excellent and the support from the company's head office in Blackburn has been superb. Whether I have needed technical support or advice on any other issues they have always been eager to help."

Meanwhile Chris, a 40-year-old former engineer with Network Rail, will be based in Bolton and his territory covers a large part of Lancashire including Preston, Southport and Wigan. These latest additions bring the total number of All Trades Network franchisees to 26 - an impressive achievement considering that the first branch was launched just two years ago.

"We have already proved that our business model is successful and this success is now being shared by an increasing number of franchisees," says Managing Director Keith Roberts.

"I'm sure that Paul, Alan and Chris have the drive, ambition and expertise to run successful businesses and to become valuable members of the All Trades Network team which provides a quality service to many of the leading names in the insurance industry."
