Sheffield entrepreneur clears the way with the opening of a new Drain Doctor

Born and bred Sheffield based business owner, Neil Jessop, has a 15-year track record of running successful companies and now his ready to expand his offering by launching Sheffield’s first Drain Doctor franchise.

Neil, a qualified plumber and gas engineer since 2013, has spent the last 6 years operating his own plumbing business where he works closely with British Gas installing and maintaining boilers. After seeing his hard work payoff and see his business flourish, Neil decided to expand his influence by branching into the drainage industry.

Not wanting to start a new business from scratch, Neil chose to go down the franchising route and make an investment in a sector and with a brand which was well known, recession proof and scalable. Drain Doctor fitted the bill, particularly as it was part of Neighbourly, the world’s largest franchisor of home service brands, with a franchise network of over 3,700 franchisees worldwide, and had a strong company ethos with a Code of Values founded on integrity, respect and customer service.

The new office, which is based in Sheffield, is ready to start trading from 14th October 2019 and will provide a 24/7 world class service to local homeowners and businesses across Sheffield and surrounds.

“Running my own business has taught me skills that will be invaluable to the day to day management of my new Drain Doctor business. From dealing with customers to managing finances, I know I have the experience, commitment and enthusiasm to make this business a success. I am really looking forward to be the new franchise owner of Drain Doctor Sheffield and being a key player in the city, where I am committed to delivering a best in class customer service at the heart of the community. The future is exciting and having the wider support, expertise and resource available from Neighbourly and other Drain Doctor franchisees, gives me both confidence and peace of mind.”
