Rescue residential and commercial property owners

Manage insurance claims, secure payouts and oversee restoration projects

It’s so rewarding rescuing property owners who need to claim on their insurance and restore their damaged properties. Working on their behalf, your business will assess the damage, manage the claim, secure the money, and oversee the restoration projects.

With Aspray your business will have the market’s leading FCA accredited brand and multi-award- winning systems and support. We’ve been doing this since 2005, are ‘Established’ members of the BFA (British Franchise Association) and have franchisees throughout the UK. There is still plenty of prime territory available – get in touch to find out more.

Franchisees can grow their businesses at their chosen pace, with demand unaffected by the economy. The market potential in your large exclusive territory is simply vast!

With climate change causing major adverse weather across the UK, properties are becoming increasingly susceptible to damage. The result is a constant demand for Aspray’s services, from both commercial and residential property owners.

Start off small and scale up. Our top 8% of franchisees are currently turning over between £1M - £2.1M with a race on to be the first to smash £5M!

Successful franchisees come from a wide and varied range of backgrounds. No experience in either property restoration or insurance is necessary, but you do need to be great at managing projects!

Our franchisees partake in the industry’s leading independent annual franchisee satisfaction survey operated by Work Buzz. This benchmarks us against the best of UK franchises, and we achieved the highest accolade.

Aspray Franchisees Shine as Finalists in the 2024 BFA HSBC British Franchise Awards

October 16, 2024

We are thrilled to announce that two of our outstanding Aspray franchisees, Joe McGuigan and Ben Taylor, have been selected as finalists in the prestigious 2024 BFA HSBC UK British Franchise Awards.

This is a remarkable achievement that showcases the dedication, talent, and entrepreneurial spirit within the Aspray network.

Joe McGuigan: Business Builder Finalist

Joe McGuigan, who leads Aspray (Glasgow North and South), is a finalist in the coveted “Business Builder” category. Since acquiring his franchise in 2013, Joe has been dedicated to helping property owners navigate insurance claims with care and professionalism. His success is built on his unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional service to his clients. Over the last decade, Joe has become a leading franchisee, driving his business to new heights and earning respect within the Aspray network.

In addition to his business achievements, Joe is also known for his philanthropic efforts. Recently, he completed an eight-day charity cycle from Vietnam to Cambodia, raising £16,000 for Marie Curie. Reflecting on his nomination, Joe shared: “It is good to be recognised and put forward as a finalist for the effort my whole team has put in. Since joining the company in 2013, I have been committed to delivering exceptional service and support to our clients, and this nomination inspires me to continue striving for excellence.”

Ben Taylor: Next Generation Franchisee Finalist

At just 29 years old, Ben Taylor, the director of Aspray (Manchester Central), has achieved incredible success and is a finalist in the “Next Generation Franchisee” category. Ben's entrepreneurial journey took flight during the pandemic, when he pivoted from a career in recruitment to take the reins of his Aspray franchise. His dedication to excellence, alongside his close-knit family team, has earned him this well-deserved recognition.

Ben’s proactive nature was also demonstrated during the pandemic when he established a PPE production line, supplying local hospitals with essential equipment. Commenting on the honour, Ben said: “I’m incredibly honoured to be nominated as a finalist at the British Franchise Awards. This recognition validates the commitment and dedication I have given to provide an unwaveringly high level of service to our clients. Being under 30, this award also highlights the potential for success for young individuals, including those like me who have made a complete career change.”

Celebrating Excellence in Franchising at the 2024 BFA HSBC British Franchise Awards

Pip Wilkins, Chief Executive of the BFA, expressed her admiration for this year’s finalists: “We are delighted to be celebrating our 35th year of the BFA awards this year, and as always, another exceptionally difficult round of shortlisting. We never cease to be amazed by our entrants' ingenuity and tenacity. Their ability to adapt to changing marketplaces and amend their business model ensures they are always offering the best opportunity to their franchisees and customers. I’d like to offer my congratulations to everyone who made the finals; this is in itself a huge achievement and one they should be extremely proud of.”

Gillian Morris, UK Head of Franchise at HSBC UK, added: “My heartfelt congratulations to the deserving finalists in this year’s British Franchise Awards. Shortlisting the entries and choosing the finalists is one of the toughest challenges of my year, but it’s one I love. I was truly inspired by the brilliant businesses amongst this year’s entrants, and the finalists really do represent the best of British franchising.”

The winners will be announced at a black-tie gala following the BFA’s annual conference on 7th November 2024. We are incredibly proud of both Joe and Ben for their remarkable achievements and wish them the best of luck in the upcoming awards ceremony.
