SOUTHAMPTON'S Drain Doctor Plumbing franchise has crowned a successful 2004 by being named top franchise in the national group's annual awards ceremony.
Group founder and chairman Freddie Mitman presented owners Allan and Jacqui Rook with their award at a gala awards night at the Hilton Dunblane Hydro. They were also among 15 franchisees to win a four-day break at a five-star hotel in Venice in July.
After launching their Southampton Drain Doctor Plumbing franchise in May 1996, Allan and Jacqui have built a 19-strong team with a fleet of 11 technician vans and two vans for managers, plus additional specialised vehicles.
Despite boosting turnover by 19 per cent last year, they have no intention of curbing their ambitions.
"There's plenty more potential for future growth," said Allan.
