Andrew Whittaker joined the Peterborough based company to manage its national customers and to ensure that franchisees continue to expand their businesses. Andrew has had a great deal of experience within the franchising industry having previously owned the Peterborough Royal Mail Same Day franchise and Mailtech, a direct mail production company. Drain Doctor is franchised across the UK and provides an emergency plumbing and drainage service.

'Although I enjoyed owning the Royal Mail franchise I felt constrained to my area,' says Andrew Whittaker, Drain Doctor employee. 'I found that I kept discovering possible national deals, which I couldn't follow through. Working for Drain Doctor will allow me to find these national deals and manage them myself.'

Freddie Mitman, Drain Doctor Plumbing Chairman, adds: 'We are delighted to welcome Andrew to the team. It is an exciting time in the plumbing and drainage industry and Andrew will use his knowledge and expertise to help us grow and take advantage of the opportunities that are out there.'
