Two new franchisees for Rosemary Bookkeeping

Leavesden Park’s Rosemary Bookkeeping has welcomed additions to its franchise network in Guildford and Nottingham.
Richard Swansea, pictured top right, in Guildford has worked as a financial journalist in Hong Kong and London, as an editor and supervisor of research reports at leading investment banks  and speaks French and Chinese. It was Rosemary’s strong management team that gave him the confidence to invest in this franchise.
 “I came across Rosemary at the British Franchise Exhibition in Manchester, in June 2013. I chose Rosemary in preference to other bookkeeping franchises because of the breadth of its management team; this gave me confidence that my relationship with the team would not be influenced by issues of personality.”
Mark Webster, pictured bottom right, in Nottingham specialised in IT for over 20 years and has been a house husband taking care of his three children.  Now that his children have reached the teenage years, Mark decided to rejoin the workforce.  Desiring a flexible work/life balance Mark explored various franchises and Rosemary fitted his skill base in project solving and attention to detail.

“I’d always thought a franchise would be the right choice for me and having been to a few of the franchise fairs I ended up on a number of mailing lists. Nothing had really clicked into place, Pizza parlours, pet grooming, house/oven cleaning, courier services etc. never really appealed. Until the day that piece of “junk” mail dropped into my inbox regarding Rosemary Bookkeeping. Everything about it just seemed to fit and I immediately enrolled on one of their Discovery Days. The Discovery Day just confirmed what I had hoped for, a highly professional and ambitious team providing an interesting and exciting business opportunity with a reassuring level of support and so I decided to join the team.”

“I am excited about this being my business, I make the decisions but I have the support of Rosemary in the background with all their wealth of experience. I’ve tasted success in previous projects but rewards seem to have gone to others, this time I’m looking forward to reaping those rewards.”

“If you are thinking about starting a business from scratch it is a big undertaking but with the team at Rosemary Bookkeeping helping you, you can avoid the mistakes and pitfalls that others have made. Why make it hard for yourself when you can tap into a world of experience.”

The Rosemary Bookkeeping™ franchise responds to the increasing need in the UK for an affordable, professional bookkeeping service that supports both the client and the accountant. Mark and Richard will be working in harmony with their clients’ accountants, providing them with exactly what they need in the format they want saving his clients’ time and money.

The franchise is based on a business concept that has been established and refined since 2002, providing a unique bookkeeping system within a fully supported franchise package. Mark and Richard will be able to obtain great flexibility and the potential for a superb work-life balance.

The franchise is backed by four successful entrepreneur business women, Claire Watson-Bardot, Joanna Dennis, Sarah Cook and Lisa Curteis who have over 60 years of business and bookkeeping experience between them. As an Associate Member of the bfa, Rosemary Bookkeeping has a proven ability to sustain a franchise network successfully.

Rosemary Bookkeeping has recently opened up more territory opportunities in the Midlands, North of England and South East. For more information please call 0845 8620072 or visit the website
