Dream Doors Oxford franchisees Mike & Elaine Hurley sell £250,000 of kitchen facelifts in three months

The Hurleys opened their Dream Doors showroom in Abingdon, Oxfordshire at the end of March. Before that, they had managed to turnover a respectable £60,000 of business in six months working from home.
Yet in the final week of March – in just their first week of trading from the showroom – they took £32,000 of orders. In the month after their showroom launch they sold £63,000, in May they sold £55,000, and in June they managed a staggering £94,000.
Says Mike: “We've smashed our first year target! I was always confident this franchise would work, but what has happened since we opened our showroom, and particularly in the last few weeks, has astounded us!”
He adds: “We're so far ahead in our business plan that we're already interviewing for more staff. I need time to service all the leads we are getting, as the advertising we have placed is definitely working! We're getting so many enquiries, and the sales side of the business is what I love most. My wife Elaine looks after the showroom and administration side of the business, so what we need now is an Installation Manager to project manage all of the kitchen fits a quarter-of-a-million pounds brings!”
Dream Doors founder and Managing Director, Troy Tappenden says: “Mike and Elaine stand out as exceptional performers. To sell a quarter-of-a-million pounds of kitchen facelifts in just three months is astounding. And remember, this was their first three months in a showroom.
They joined us less than a year ago, and before that they'd never been in the kitchen industry, nor had they run their own business. It just goes to show what can be done – even with no related experience – if you work hard and follow the model. I'm very proud of what they've achieved.”
