Local business goes national

ABL Property Services has been selected as one of the first partner businesses of Meddo, which is launching its operation across six regions of the UK.

The new national business is built on the foundations of well established regional businesses operating in the sector, giving them the support of a national led company and each other.

Meddo’s aim is to bring a recognisably branded, refreshing level of service to property repairs and improvements in peoples’ homes helping to strengthen customers’ peace of mind about using local tradesmen.

Homeowners will have the reassurance that the people working in their homes have been vetted for high levels of customer service and quality of workmanship.

Tony Roe, managing director at ABL Property Services, said: “Being a part of Meddo opens up some exciting opportunities for us, because it gives us the strengths of a consortium and the power of a national brand.

“We will continue to provide the same high quality customer service which has made us successful as a regional business, and feel that this will be enhanced by the support and depth of Meddo as it grows across the country.”

Garvis Snook, executive chairman of Meddo, added: “I am very excited about the potential of Meddo to boost trade in these regions, allowing them to enhance their service and achieve new levels of success.

“When I first met Tony Roe, whose father founded ABL Property Services, it was clear that they cared greatly about excellent customer service, which fits with the Meddo ethos perfectly.

“The consortium style relationships between the regional businesses and Meddo as their national partner gives substantial advantages to all involved, most importantly the people who turn to us for work in their homes or business premises.

“Each business with which we have formed a relationship in the regions has already built up a strong reputation for good workmanship and customer care. This is what will form the backbone of Meddo as it continues to grow across the UK.”

Each regional business retains a high level of autonomy to continue providing the high quality of service for which they have been chosen and they receive the support of a national firm and a network of other specialists to assist them with matters such as recruitment, training and development, health and safety, and purchasing.

Meddo’s partner businesses offer locally based services in Scotland, Yorkshire, the North West, the West Midlands, North and East London, North and West London and the Home Counties.

The business will enjoy the benefits of an innovative consortium structure; the regional businesses each owning a share in Meddo, which in turn owns a minority share of the partner company.
