West Yorkshire cleaning firm expands after seeing 30% growth in demand

West Yorkshire cleaning business Ovenu has its sights set on expansion after experiencing a 30% growth in demand.

Ovenu West Yorkshire, which operates in Halifax, Huddersfield, Bradford, Leeds and Wakefield, is looking to grow its presence in the region and keep up with demand by expanding its team with the hiring of a contractor to cover the Dewsbury and Morley area.

The firm, in West Yorkshire, has averaged more than 2,000 oven cleanings a year since 2013, with the majority of this increased demand coming from existing clients and referrals, which accounts for 70% of its total business.

Ovenu is a franchise network made up of more than 100 businesses owned by men and women working throughout the UK.

Ovenu West Yorkshire, which began trading in 2008 and has four full-time employees, recently completed its 10,000th oven valet – the shortest amount of time among all Ovenu franchises that such a feat has been achieved.

Richard Greenwood, owner of Ovenu West Yorkshire, said: “I am delighted that we are now in a position to grow the business further and offer our service to a new area within West Yorkshire.

“To meet this increased demand, I am now searching for someone to join our experienced team and, with the introduction of Dewsbury and Morley to our operation; this will offer even more people our popular service.

“It is exciting times for the business, especially on the back of our record 10,000th oven valet, and I am looking forward to what the future holds for Ovenu West Yorkshire.”

Rik Hellewell, managing director of Ovenu, said: “I am delighted for Richard that his business is performing so well, that it has scope for expansion. He is a prime example of someone who has invested in the Ovenu brand and built it up across the region and I would like to wish him and his team all the best for the future.”
