We’re delighted to see PartnerWise Franchise featured in The Times as part of an inspiring story about the growth of Oltco.
The article, “We’ve built a £10m business out of plastic waste,” tells the story of how Oltco founders Tom Stringer and Johnny Pearce have grown the Cornish business into a successful national franchise, built around innovative and sustainable resin-bound surfacing.
PartnerWise Franchise has been proud to play a part in that journey. Our Founder and Managing Partner, Nick Carnes QFP, initially joined Oltco as a franchise consultant, supporting Tom and Johnny as they explored franchising as a route to national growth. Nick subsequently became Franchise Director at Oltco and has continued to work closely with the business as its franchise network has developed.
Today, Oltco has around 25 franchisees covering nearly 60 locations across the UK, with the wider group achieving £10 million in turnover last year.
It’s a fantastic story of entrepreneurship, innovation and the power of franchising to help an ambitious business scale.
