“It’s been a significantly successful year for Kitchen Makeovers, almost doubling the size of our franchise network within the last 12 months.

“Our overarching goal in 2025 is to reach the milestone number of 50 franchisees across the UK.

“Our recent success is proof that we’re well on the way to this being a reality.”

Jon Head commented on his new role: “Working with Kitchen Makeovers has been a real career highlight to date.

“My role is varied but I take such personal satisfaction in supporting franchisees in the daily operations of their franchise.

“As a brand, we’ve invested significantly in putting the right support structure in place for our network, and I believe my joining the team has really solidified that.”

Will Frankling concluded: “I’m thrilled to welcome Jon to our team – he’s built such a fantastic rapport with the network already and was a key spokesperson at our recent network conference.

“He has been instrumental in the success of Kitchen Makeovers in recent months – we couldn’t have done it without him.
