Company Overviews

About Kendlebell

Kendlebell have over 20 offices throughout the UK and one in Ireland. We are the single largest provider of Personal Telephone Answering services in the UK. Indeed the key to our success is the highly PERSONAL level of service that we provide. Our competitors are typically Call Centres so they accommodate all their staff in one building. The more clients they get the harder it becomes for them to continue to provide each and every one of their clients with the same personal level of service that we do. Kendlebell overcome this problem by setting up small offices where the atmosphere is more friendly and the staff have an opportunity to get to know you. The more successful we are the more offices we open and therefore we will always be able to allocate a team of just two or three PA's to look after you.

About Fitness Machine Technicians

At Fitness Machine Technicians, we pride ourselves on offering aspiring business owners the opportunity to build their franchise quickly and efficiently so they can thrive in their new career path.
As a service based franchise, we don’t have many of the expenses that burden the brick and mortar franchise owners. The benefits are:
  • You can work from a home-based office or small leased space (500sf).
  • You can lease or buy your technicians’ field vehicles.
  • Inventory is on demand direct from suppliers as needed for repairs, so minimal storage space is needed.

#208 in Franchise 500 for 2021.  Not in Franchise 500 for 2020.
