Franchisee Case Study 5: Fully booked up with Bill Plant Franchise

When driving instructor Toseef Cheema moved to Luton he thought he’d be happier running his own private driving school.
 
Toseef, a former IT engineer, had built up a busy Bill Plant franchise in Leeds and hoped to continue successfully in business on his own when he moved 180 miles away to Bedfordshire.
 
‘I wanted to work for myself.   Self employment worked best for me, providing I could earn enough money,’ says Toseef, a 30-year-old father of two.  ‘The trouble was after four or so months it just wasn’t working. I was worrying about finding more pupils instead of concentrating on helping pupils learn better.’
 
Desperate, Toseef got in touch with Bill Plant, signed a franchise agreement and within a fortnight had a full diary and was turning away potential pupils.
 
 He says; ‘I didn’t know Luton at all.   But hundreds of people go on the internet and find Bill Plant’s site.  The lessons are good value and their enquiries filtered down to me.
 
‘It’s the cheapest franchise on the market. Best of all I remain totally in control of what I do.   I fit the driving lessons around what else I want to do in my life.  It’s like working privately without all the hassle.  I don’t have any worries about where the work is coming from.’
 
‘When I officially started with Bill Plant, I asked for a few more pupils. They gave me 15 students in two weeks.  I was fully booked up.  It was unbelievable. “
