Home staging firm Lemon and Lime Interiors is kicking off a franchise network, with Cardiff and South Wales one of the first areas to launch.
Having recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary, the Derbyshire-based firm is setting its sights on ambitious growth plans, starting with the launch of a franchising opportunity. Aspiring home stager Kate Jones has been chosen to lead Lemon and Lime in Cardiff and across South Wales.
Elaine Penhaul, founder and director of Lemon and Lime Interiors, said:
“Having been in the position of setting up and growing a profitable business ourselves, we know how difficult it can be for ambitious and entrepreneurial home stagers to establish themselves in the UK property market. Ten years in, and having staged more than 1500 properties, I am incredibly proud to be in a position to use our expertise to back others at the start of their journey.
“Above all, the franchise model offers business owners a community to share ideas and expertise between like-minded professionals and lift one another up, in what can be quite an isolating industry. By establishing a group of ambitious home stagers, the home staging industry has the power to become a far more dominant marketing service that will become essential for estate agents to rely on.”
Operating within the already established Lemon and Lime brand, franchisees, which have also been secured in Canterbury and Exeter, will directly benefit from an existing network of connections including agents and suppliers, with enquiries already coming through for their services.
Kate Jones, Lemon and Lime Cardiff, said:
“Joining the team at Lemon and Lime, for me, was an easy decision. Its brand speaks for itself and its reputation in the staging industry is second to none. The process of becoming one of its first franchisees was informative, collaborative and truly enjoyable. The team provided everything I needed to make an informed decision. I feel a great sense of pride at having been selected from the initial applicants and am looking forward to seeing where the journey takes us all.”
