Local Detective has solved the mystery of the dirty ovens

27 March 2015

Local Detective has solved the mystery of the dirty ovens and is all set to clean up in Chichester, Bognor Regis and surrounding areas of West Sussex and Hampshire.

Phil Bateman is launching his own Oven Cleaning Business as part of the Oven Wizards Franchise. Phil has lived and worked in Southern area of Hampshire and West Sussex all of his life, and, as he knows the area really well, he believes there will be a strong demand for his services.

Phil says “Having served as a Submariner in the Royal Navy and then as a Detective with Hampshire Constabulary, I was looking for a new business idea that would be something I would enjoy doing and that would provide a great service to local people. I came across the idea of an oven cleaning business and then started to research the market. I soon realised that becoming an Oven Wizard offered me a great opportunity, particularly with the support of a successful Franchise Brand.

John Graham, owner of the Oven Wizards business said “From the first time we met Phil  we knew he would make a great success of running an Oven Wizards Franchise, particularly because of his great passion for customer service.”

John went on to explain “There is a growing demand from people who want to have their ovens professionally cleaned because it is probably the hardest and most hated job in most households “.

Oven Wizards have provided Phil with comprehensive training which will enable him to professionally clean all sorts of makes and models of ovens.

As well as Chichester and Bognor Regis, Phil will cover most of West Sussex as well as bordering towns in Hampshire, including Petersfield, Waterlooville, Havant and Emsworth areas.

A recent Survey carried out, indicates that oven cleaning is one of the most hated chores in the home. Taking into account the fact that there are over 26 million households in the UK and that nearly each one has at least one oven and a hob, the growing domestic cleaning market therefore provides unlimited opportunities to delight our customers.
