Introducing Colin Evans from Caremark

Once he had achieved his goal of developing a successful financial services business from scratch Colin was keen for a change and a new challenge, a business venture which would bring both personal and financial rewards.

Caremark - Colin EvansColin carried out extensive research into different franchises but decided that Caremark’s business opportunity was the best fit for his requirements.

Colin said:

"Having looked at a number of other franchise opportunities I felt that Caremark’s franchise was the best. Caremark’s approach was supportive and professional and they seemed genuinely interested in my career history, the skills and experience I had to offer and whether I was the business professional they were looking for."

He realised that investing in a franchise would give him many advantages to get going more quickly and not have to go through the risky early years of set-up and start-up which a stand-alone business would mean.

Colin was also interested in achieving a better work/life balance once he had got established.

Colin continued:

"Now that the business is established I am able to work on the business rather than in it. This has given me a better work/life balance, which is great as I don’t have to be in the office from dawn until dusk every day. If I wish to take the odd long weekend I can do so, knowing I have a great team in place.

At the end of the day I am content knowing that I am investing in my family’s future whilst providing a superb care service for our clients and job opportunities for my local community.

Just knowing that I am achieving all three objectives as well as enjoying a little more leisure time is certainly something to be happy about!"
