The Original Poster Company Welcomes New Franchisee

For almost as long as OPC has been in existence, Ken Beilby had worked for the same turf production company. After 25 years of being employed in a supervisory position, in charge of quality control where the hours were long and unsociable, Ken decided he wanted to achieve a better life balance.

He wanted an established franchise business that would give him the benefit of a proven business model combined with an existing income and after exploring various franchise opportunities the flexibility of an OPC greetings card franchise was something that appealed to Ken. It was specifically OPC’s established nature and heritage of the company with almost 25 years trading behind them. 

After seeing his local franchise area of North Yorkshire had just been put up for sale, Ken did not hesitate to grasp the opportunity and still asks himself why he didn’t do it sooner!

OPC wish Ken every success in his franchise and also wish the outgoing franchisees for the North Yorkshire area, Jim and Julie Brady, all the very best in their future endeavours.

As OPC’s franchise network has enjoyed nationwide coverage for almost 25 years, territories are now only available as resales when franchisees retire or move on to new challenges.

Resale or existing territories provide income from Day One with stock and customers all in place for you – all you have to do is cultivate what is already there!

To help franchisees achieve this growth at great profit margins whilst keeping overheads low, initial training is provided by OPC with continued ongoing field support from a dedicated BDM like Sean Muff, who will now be supporting Ken in his new venture.
