The new PCC (Professional Car Cleaning) franchise from the ChipsAway Group is certainly making waves in the industry. Following its successful launch at the British Franchise Exhibition in Manchester in January, PCC signed up its first five franchisees within the month. Subsequently, PCC Discovery Days held at the company's headquarters in Worcestershire have all been fully booked, with a waiting list of eager potential recruits keen to find out more about the hottest new franchise opportunity on offer.

According to Managing Director Steve Bignell, would-be franchisees are attracted by the fact that the business is brand new, but has the credibility and experience of ChipsAway International behind it - one of the UK's leading franchise organisations "People come along to our Discovery Days intrigued by the new concept, and leave reassured that there is a massive market for the business together with the experience and industry knowledge to maximise that potential," he says. "We have been delighted, but not surprised, by the level of interest in the PCC franchise, and predict huge success for our first franchisees. In fact, one new PCC partnership - Philip Horncastle and Gillian Innes - has already lined up 42 customers!"

Philip is currently a valeter for a dealership, and his employers have confirmed that they will still use him on a freelance basis - they have also offered to put PCC business cards in the service reception area. Gillian will be taking charge of sales & marketing, and is the lady behind the burgeoning customer base.

Other franchisees have no experience of the industry whatsoever, but are equally excited about the new venture. Stephen Harper worked in an insurance office and was looking for an opportunity to break away from his desk-bound nine-to-five. His attention was caught by PCC and he is thrilled to be one of the first franchisees to be launched. "Everyone has a car, and all cars need cleaning," he points out. "Having seen the demonstration, I was convinced that a professionally presented, efficient and cost-effective service would quite literally clean up!"

Operating from a smartly liveried and specially equipped VW, PCC franchisees provide professional car valeting services to a huge and currently under-serviced marketplace, using a comprehensive range of high quality products, developed exclusively for PCC. Potential customers include private individuals as well as corporate contracts, creating the opportunity for franchisees to build a regular, repeat order customer base and so enhancing the value of their investment. "Five franchisees on board within a month of launch is a fantastic achievement," Steve Bignell concludes. "PCC is a clear winner - watch this space!"
