Testimonials
“I chose to invest in an Interlink Express franchise because I had used their services in the past and always found them very professional. The local depot had a well-deserved reputation for providing excellent customer service, so when another franchisee told me about a potential opening in Luton & St Albans I didn’t hesitate in pursuing the opportunity. It’s far more fulfilling than working for someone else.”
Kate Gray, Luton & St. Albans
“I joined Interlink Express in 1984 as an agent operating the Market Harborough franchise. Two years later I bought the business and became the youngest Interlink Express franchisee ever. Today, I own a second franchise, have merged the depots and control a business which employs 23 people and has a turnover of nearly £700,000. Without the expertise and reassurance from Interlink Express, this would not have been possible.”
