Exceeding first year turnover by 300%
Janis became a franchisee for The Christmas Decorators in 2017 having shadowed the head office team on a couple of installations in 2016. In September she was approached by Debenhams to produce a scheme for their Glasgow store as a trial which, if successful would be rolled out across all stores for Christmas 2018. The Manchester store caught wind of what was happening and decided to be art of the experiment. Janis approached head office to come up with three possible schemes that would suit the front of the two buildings in question. These final ‘go ahead’ was very late, towards the end of October, yet Janis managed to put together a suitable team, access equipment, organise the permits that were required and get the product made to suit. The Glasgow install was worth £20,000 per annum on a three-year rental agreement.
The job went to plan and was completed over 2 nights. Due to its potential complexity and future value Janis was accompanied on the first night by a member of the head office team to get the jobs started and show the installers the method to follow. Lucky Gavin in Manchester was handed a £30,600 per annum job (every year for 3 years) due to all of Janis’s hard work. In addition to the Debenhams contract which could be worth over £200k in 2018, Janis also successfully undertook work leaving clients delighted and exceeding the typical first years turnover by 300%
