SDL SUPPORTING ENTREPRENEURS ACROSS THE NATION

Entrepreneurs nationwide are being given the opportunity to flourish, with the backing of the industry’s first property management franchising scheme – SDL Property Partners, and its parent company SDL Group.

Driven by its commitment to revolutionise the industry for its customers, it has enabled many to own not just one, but multiple businesses within the SDL network.

These entrepreneurs have recognised the opportunity the latest property management scheme could bring, and have added this to their portfolio of businesses. Prime examples include members of SDL’s network of surveyors who have ventured into SDL Property Partners, such as Robert Camm.

Robert, owner of CLC Chartered Surveyors, which was established in 2009, already worked with SDL Surveying and has recently become an SDL Property Partner. The property management franchise branch named CLC Estate Management, based in South Wales covers both Swansea and Cardiff. Robert’s new venture is already proving to be a success, as within six months he has built a pipeline of approximately 1,000 units being pitched, doubling the size of his existing business.

Speaking about his latest endeavor, Robert comments: “It’s been great to have the opportunity to diversify my business, which is something I always hoped to do. Diversifying a business is often tricky. However, when I saw the SDL Property Partners franchise model, I was excited to have the chance to have the guidance from a company I already know and trust, as well as broadening my relationship with the SDL Group.

It’s not just surveyors who have benefited from this opportunity. Century 21 Bedford franchise has also chosen to expand its business portfolio via SDL Property Partners.

SDL Group chief executive officer and Property Award 2019 Entrepreneur of the Year finalist, Paul Gratton comments:

Entrepreneurship is something I have always been passionate about. Being an employee isn’t for everyone, and I believe it is incredibly important to support those looking to make the jump into becoming business owners, or those looking to diversifying into a new markets.

“These entrepreneurial partners have a key role to play in our drive to revolutionise the industry. Since the conception of SDL 30 years ago, we have relied upon and provided work to small business owners, and that is something that remains central to our business to this day.
