After searching for its franchise owner 007, Wilkins Chimney Sweep has recruited its seventh franchise owner.

John Baldacchino has become the Wilkins Chimney Sweep seventh franchise owner when he purchased the company’s West Cheshire territory. Before joining the franchise Baldacchino worked as an Operations Manager for Marston’s Inn’s and Taverns and prior to that for a coffee chain.

Louise Harris, Franchise Director of Wilkins Chimney Sweep, said: “We are delighted to welcome John on board, despite him ruining my marketing campaign ‘The hunt for 007’. John has great experience in the hospitality world and I know he is going to be a great asset to the Wilkins Chimney Sweeping family.”

Baldacchino added: “I am very excited to be 007 for Wilkins Chimney Sweep; it’s a huge challenge starting your own business but with 20 years of experience delivering customer expectations I won’t get shaken or stirred. Of course I will have the help of my very own ‘M’ and ‘Miss Moneypenny’ to make sure Wilkins Chimney Sweep West Cheshire is a success; I’ve just got to work out which is which yet between Peter and Louise.”
