Nottingham based independently owned and operated carpet cleaners franchise business Chem-Dry Central, have every right to be celebrating, after recently winning the prestigious Chem-Dry UK 'Franchise of the Year' 2010 Award. This award was presented at Chem-Dry's annual glitzy convention in Manchester and rewards outstanding business performance. The award recognises outstanding excellence across numerous business disciplines such as business planning, customer satisfaction, marketing and upholding
Chem-Dry franchise traditions and values.

All members of the UK Chem-Dry network are considered for this coveted award and with over 135 franchises and 790 franchise licences in the UK, there are plenty of worthy candidates and the winner is always held in high regard by other Chem-Dry franchises. This accolade is selected, from four regional UK winners and each regional winner battles it out to be crowned Chem-Dry 'Franchise of the Year'. Richard, Neil and the Central team faced some stiff competition and are deserved recipients of a cash prize and a trip to Chem-Dry’s international convention in 2011.

Richard Harris and Neil Barlow, Directors of Chem-Dry Central, comment "We are delighted that the UK Chem-Dry Master Franchise have recognised and rewarded our efforts this year. This is in recognition of the hard work, belief and dedication from all our team over the past year and all the staff can be very proud of this achievement. Over the past 18 months, the business focused on developing all revenue streams and has gained momentum and impetus as a direct result. Having 'embraced' and now contemplated these awards has given us the enthusiasm and belief to develop our business further. To say we were surprised and delighted with this award was an understatement".

Mark Galsworthy, Director of Franchising, comments "On behalf of the UK Chem-Dry Franchise Network, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Richard, Neil and the Central team on a fantastic achievement. The Chem-Dry Central team are great role models for other aspiring franchises and have demonstrated skills and implemented strategies in-order to make various improvements within their business. Chem-Dry Central has successfully expanded their domestic and commercial side of their business and continues to provide pro-active response to disaster restoration work including steam carpet cleaning and other services. This award is thoroughly deserved and I believe they will carry on the great tradition of previous Chem-Dry Franchise of the Year’s winners in helping to improve standards within the industry".
