If you value more than just money, EweMove is the ideal franchise to invest in - the high profits are just a bonus.

After 10 years of enjoying a rewarding – but non-stop – job selling in-flight entertainment around the world, Simon Hancott realised that he was missing out on valuable opportunities to relax and feel settled.

Having worked in an industry that kept him forever on-the-move, he became inspired by the prospect of settling down and helping others follow suit with EweMove.

Simon and his business partner Chris launched the Leighton Buzzard franchise back in 2017. Things took off quickly for this branch and that growth journey has continued year on year!

"Buying into a brand like EweMove ticked every box for me, as their ‘business-in-a-box’ model helped me to remain independent and put my own spin on their strong foundations. Some franchises like you to follow a rigid structure, but with the success of the EweMove franchise relying on those who understand their local communities, I’ve been able to continue using my entrepreneurial and creative skill set to tailor the franchise to what my community is looking for in an estate agency.

Coming out of a high-paid role like the one I was in can often be daunting. But the training EweMove provided to ensure my existing skillset was being utilised to its fullest potential in the property industry was the perfect way for me to get going as a franchisee.

Since then, we’ve been provided with whatever we’ve needed to make our business successful and profitable, with marketing and collateral being kept at consistently high standards.

If you value more than just money, EweMove is the ideal franchise to invest in - the high profits are just a bonus.

The branding is something that has contributed massively to having a successful EweMove franchise. Some people say it’s a bit like Marmite (you either love it or you hate it), but we appeal to everyone who we want to appeal to!

With buyers and sellers regularly making their decisions based on their family, it’s great that we have a brand that children can identify with and enjoy. This unique stance that we’ve established for ourselves in a market and industry that is regularly criticised for being overly ‘stuffy’ and corporate is one we’re incredibly proud of."
