Trader moves over 1,300 miles to open Dream Doors showroom with wife

Former leather goods trader Ramin Razaq relocated from Belarus to open a profitable kitchen makeover showroom in the UK with his wife Wida.

Ramin was importing and exporting leather goods in Minsk when the couple decided the time was right to launch their own highly profitable business in the UK.

After months of meticulous research Ramin and Wida bought a territory with Dream Doors, the UK’s #1 kitchen makeover company, and opened their showroom.

Wida, who used to teach English as a foreign language, said: “We did a lot of research into franchising online and spoke to Alex (Waite, Dream Doors’ director of franchise recruitment).

“He had an opportunity in Uxbridge, which is very near to our home, so we had a feeling that it was meant to be.

“Dream Doors has developed a fantastic reputation.

“It works very well as a family run business and Ramin and I work well as a team.

“This gives us the opportunity to maintain the right work/life balance.”

Dream Doors is looking for more talented franchisees like Wida and Ramin who are ready to represent 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 at The National Franchise Exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham on Friday, March 13 and Saturday, March 14.
