“Tired Of Reading About Meaningless Franchises?
Build A Real Business Of Your Own With Cloudy2Clear”
The Business
Thousands of double glazed windows are replaced each year because the glass has failed, either steamed up, broken or damaged. So why not replace just the glass and not the complete frame as well? Our system is saving householders £££ whilst helping them avoid dealing with double glazing salesmen. That’s the brilliantly simple idea behind Cloudy 2 Clear.
The Candidate – Do you have what it takes?
If you are successful in your application to become a C2C franchisee you will prove to be an integral part of your community and a valued partner of a national company. However, we don’t accept everyone, therefore applicants must be aware that to become a C2C franchisee is highly competitive and not every application is successful. Does the following apply to you?
-
 You prefer to take a hands on approach to business
- Whatever field you have worked in you have been successful
- You are willing to promote your business at all times
- You have good team leader skills that are designed to get the best out of people
- You understand that the money is there for the earning and NOT the taking
What Does A C2C Franchisee Do?
There are two successful models that are being used within the franchise. The first model sees the franchisee taking the orders, providing the quotes, and fitting the glass. Whilst the second model sees the franchisee in a management style role from the beginning, employing staff to do the quotes and fitting, whilst he/she is responsible for the sales, marketing, and management of the business. In both cases the franchisees are provided with on going sales, marketing, and managerial support by their designated franchise support managers.
What Do Our Franchisees Say?
 ‘It’s a great business, simple with high demand for our services. As soon as the first advert was placed the phone started ringing with potential customers!’
David Boothman, Blackburn
‘Perhaps the most life-changing decision I have made was to buy a Cloudy2Clear Franchise. When I heard of the business through a friend I thought ‘what a terrific concept’ as I had 5 failed double glazing units in my own house. Now, 9 months on, I will soon need to employ staff just to keep up with demand…’
Trevor Skidmore, Northampton
‘
The business concept behind Cloudy2Clear is fantastic. It’s great to feel part of a larger team whilst owning your own business and the knowledge and experience we pass amongst each other through the management team makes a big difference’
Chris Lucas, Gatwick
Support/Training
C2C franchisees will learn how to provide this unique service by embarking on a five day training course. The course is designed to cover all aspects of running the business, from answering the phone, to sales and marketing strategies, and covering in detail the technical aspects of the business. On going technical and managerial support is provided by the C2C support team who are dedicated to support the franchisees at all times.
Why Us?
The service that you will be providing is in huge demand, failed units are everywhere…you’ve probably seen one yourself! There are only 3 things in life that are certain, death, taxes, and your double glazing will fail. In addition to this C2C is a really simple business, easy to generate enquiries, and even easier to fit the glass.

Cloudy2Clear Franchisee Success Story
Tony Telford, Newcastle Upon Tyne
In 2006 Tony had reached a crossroads in his career. After 15 years
the company he had worked for gave him a choice, move 250 miles to
Watford or take voluntary redundancy.
“I’d been a highly successful Sales Manager for a large electronics
manufacturer but when faced with the prospect of moving I thought it
was time to take a good hard look at my life and where I was going.
Although I enjoyed my job I was covering the whole country and Ireland
in my car, racking up 40,000 miles a year. I stayed away a lot and it
meant I wasn’t seeing much of my family. And although the pay was good,
if I looked at the profits I was earning for someone else it started to
grate a little that they could then decide my future with the stroke of
a pen.
“I looked into franchising as I felt confident that I wanted to
start my own business but I didn’t really know what that entailed. I
knew I wanted to take control of my life, work locally and earn my own
money but I knew that I needed help and support if I was to succeed.
The attraction for me was to be ‘alone but not alone’.
“After looking into various franchises the Cloudy2Clear business
really stood out. The concept of a business that actually saved people
money on their glazing was more than sound and after I’d done my own
market research it became more and more obvious that there was a real
need for the service. The other thing that attracted me was that the
business is sustainable, every house and business has windows and they
fail. It’s a fact of life. And unlike other franchises which seemed to
be a bit of a fad, this one is a real long term business which is
always required. It’s also very easy system to learn!
“Once I’d met the team and the levels of support were outlined to me
the decision was easy. In the first year there was a lot to learn but
the team guided me through and everything has pretty much panned out as
they said it would. It’s always a leap in the dark when you place your
faith in people and I’ve heard of other franchises where the promises
didn’t amount to much but I have to say that the team at Cloudy2Clear
are brilliant. They’re always looking for ways for us to get more
business and we all meet regularly to ensure we swap ideas. I’m now in
my third year and the business has exceeded all expectations with
demand on the up as people are also looking to ‘improve not move’ in
their houses. I’m achieving all the goals I set for myself both in
terms of profits and lifestyle and that’s the best thing of all.”
