Bateman said: “Having served as a Submariner in the Royal Navy and then as a Detective with Hampshire Constabulary, I was looking for a new business idea that would be something I would enjoy doing and that would provide a great service to local people. I came across the idea of an oven cleaning business and then started to research the market. I soon realised that becoming an Oven Wizard offered me a great opportunity, particularly with the support of a successful Franchise Brand.”

John Graham, owner of the Oven Wizards business, said: “From the first time we met Phil we knew he would make a great success of running an Oven Wizards Franchise, particularly because of his great passion for customer service.

Bateman went on to explain: “There is a growing demand from people who want to have their ovens professionally cleaned because it is probably the hardest and most hated job in most households”.

Oven Wizards has provided Bateman with comprehensive training, which will enable him to professionally clean all sorts of makes and models of ovens.

As well as Chichester and Bognor Regis, Bateman will cover most of West Sussex as well as bordering towns in Hampshire, including Petersfield, Waterlooville, Havant and Emsworth areas.

A recent survey carried out, indicates that oven cleaning is one of the most hated chores in the home. Taking into account the fact that there are more than 26 million households in the UK and that nearly each one has at least one oven and a hob, the growing domestic cleaning market therefore provides unlimited opportunities to delight our customers.
