Leading infection control company, Bio-Rite, has officially launched as a franchise. This new development will now enable Bio-Rite’s quality service and standards to be offered by a select group of franchisees in strategic locations throughout the UK.

“The healthcare decontamination sector has seen rapid growth in recent years,” confirms Alan Wright, managing director, Bio-Rite Ltd. “The challenges faced by healthcare providers is only set to continue as they struggle to cope with the increasing threat from infections such as MRSA, C.Difficile or Norovirus.

“As a group, we have more than 40 years’ experience in infection control providing tailored services to the NHS, Local Authorities, care and nursing homes,” continues Wright. “As well as area decontamination, we provide equipment recycling which enables beds and mobility apparatus to be decontaminated safely and effectively. We also supply a mattress decontamination service that meets the needs of NHS hospitals, private clinics and nursing homes and complies with all infection control guidelines.

“For the past year, from our ISO9001 accredited facility and offices in Alton, Hampshire, we have been meticulously preparing to expand and replicate our established business model through franchising,” continues Wright. “We are now looking to offer suitable candidates the chance to become Bio-Rite franchisees, running their own successful franchised businesses. We have recently attended both the British and International Franchise show at Olympia and the Franchise show at Excel and the interest so far, has exceeded our expectations. People immediately recognise this is a genuine business opportunity with a ready customer base, with real needs.

“We believe the candidates who will become successful Bio-Rite franchisees will be self-motivated and get on well with people. Ideally they will have management and sales experience. However, as full training and help with set-up will be provided, the franchise could be suitable for anyone with a broad background in business and who is determined, prepared to work hard and has the enthusiasm to succeed.”
