OVEN ready!

That's Ramsbottom man Jonathan Fry whose local oven cleaning franchise celebrates a very successful first year of trading.

Jonathan, a Ovenu franchisee who runs his very own oven cleaning and valeting franchise within Greater Manchester and Lancashire, has had a very busy last 12 months. In the last year, hundreds of local housewives have been more than happy to leave him to do the job that everyone hates most, cleaning the oven.

Prior to joining Ovenu, Jonathan ran his own car dealership although he confesses to having been keen to join a franchise for a number of years.

Having investigated dozens of franchises, he finally settled on the opportunity offered by Ovenu and, a year later, has no regrets. In the last 12 months, he has worked his cleaning magic in almost 500 local houses, with a substantial client base now returning for repeat business.

The innovative valeting process used by Ovenu is unusual because it involves dismantling key components of an oven, (door, interior panels, fan and shelves), and placing them into design registered equipment which uses non-caustic products to clean the oven parts.

The whole valeting process, which is offered mainly to domestic homes but can also embrace small commercial ovens, takes around three hours and leaves the oven, hob and exterior in immaculate condition.
