Aspray Franchisee Turnover increases by 300%

In Belfast, Michael Crilly’s turnover increased by 300% last year. In one month alone last winter he hadover 70 jobs on the go all received within a 3 week time period ! Values of his claims ranged from a couple of thousand to £85k but very few were under £20k. The £85k job was a building consisting of damage to 4 apartment’s and a shop.



Michael has invested heavily in both fire and flood training and drying equipment last year but even with 20 dryers

he did not have enough. He has bought a further 15 this Christmas and has around 15 air movers. Even now he could do with more and is finding it hard to rent from suppliers as they are all out of stock.



To help him with the increased workload – which really took off when he began building a great relationship with a leak detection company in Northern Ireland – he has taken on board a Quantity Surveyor. 



“To cope with this volume of business you cannot do it alone” says Michael and whilst Michael himself is very shy about his own business acumen, having a good business mind has certainly helped Michael progress Aspray Belfast.


Michael is now reaping the benefits of having an Aspray franchise. Perhaps you should look at taking a nice holiday before the next bout of bad weather and inevitable surge of claims Michael?
