Couple net more than £130k take home salary in first year with Dream Doors

DAVID and Kate Howle have taken home more than £130,000 in their first year with the UK’s #1 kitchen makeover company.

The couple began Dream Doors’ award-winning training programme last April and moved into their Worcester showroom shortly after.

Now, just one year on, David and Kate have already generated more than £1.03million turnover – netting over £130,000 in personal profit.

Former operations manager David said: “We’re absolutely ecstatic with the figures – they’re better than we dreamed they would be.

“We knew that we were going to do well, but not that well. It’s been a great first year and we think it’s only going to get better.

“I thought we were somewhat optimistic when we imagined turning over £750,000 in our first year, so having generated £1million turnover – and £130,000 to take home – is fantastic.”

Kate, who worked in business administrative support before joining Dream Doors, said a huge part of their success has been buying into the right franchising brand.

She said: “I think the reason we’ve been this successful is a combination of a number of things – first of all, the brand and the business model of Dream Doors is superb.

“But a lot is down to the tenacity of me and David – we make a very good team and we’ve got very good fitters. This is very much a team effort.”

Kate added: “We’re looking forward to having our first £100,000 month – that can’t be very far away. I’d like to say that next year we could turn over £1.1 or £1.2million, that would be great. To make the money we have in less than a year has been down to the great support, the website, the advertising and the support from the senior directors.”

Dream Doors is looking for more talented franchisees like David and Kate who are ready to generate huge profits by representing an industry-leading brand.

There are just 19 new franchise territories available nationwide, particularly in the North East, North West, Yorkshire and Scotland.

Meet the Dream Doors recruitment team on stand D80 at The Northern Franchise Exhibition, EventCity Manchester on Friday, June 21 and Saturday, June 22.
