Blind sales are outstripping curtain sales for the first time ever in the £1.4billion UK soft furnishing market. In one of the UK’s fastest growing sectors, sales of Plantation wood shutters are up 63% in the past two years replacing the net curtain as the UK’s favourite window treatment.

With years of business success and a client base of satisfied customers who constantly repeat and refer Fit-ex is recognised as the leader within the market place and is the UK’s only national curtain and blind fit and supply company.

Key to Fit-ex’s success is the growing demand for our service combined with the Franchise Development Plan which is the cornerstone of the Fit-ex brand. One of the main reasons people buy a franchise is the fear of starting alone, combined with the fact that 60% of new start ups fail within the first three years. Starting a Fit-ex business has all the benefits of starting a tried and tested business with the Development Plan that guarantees success. This linked to the fact that the business has been through the 17 years of continued growth means that new starters avoid all the pitfalls and reap the rewards of success from day one.

David Jones Fit-ex Managing Director says “A Fit-ex franchise offers flexibility coupled with a simple yet extremely profitable operation, ensuring that our franchisees find the lifestyle they deserve. Fit-ex is really motoring  forward in the UK and more and more people are realising the lifestyle changing rewards of owning their own business.”

“We provide a comprehensive Development Plan” adds David. “This includes a dedicated support centre, free phone number, e-commerce web site, personal mentoring, continued training and hands on support all dedicated to our business owners to ensure each fulfils their potential and their dream of wealth and lifestyle.”

Peter Magyar’s business in Reigate took off in the first week and he hasn’t looked back… “I’m very pleased with the business growth, it has been better than I expected and the fact that my customers are so grateful is huge bonus. It is a franchise where the financial rewards are excellent and the personal sense of achievement is tremendous too.”
