Our Training & Support:
At Granite & TREND Transformations we have a simple and easy to understand week-long induction course. In this week you’ll learn about the office-based aspects of running the franchise, and then it’s straight into the hands-on portion of the training; including sessions with our support and development team, at your own facility.
Our technical team will spend two weeks with you as the showroom is fitted out too and our ongoing support is there as and when you need it.
Who is ideal for Granite & TREND Transformations?

The Return on Your Investment…
You will only need to have £35,000 in liquid capital to start your business. Our franchise fee is £28,700 + VAT and the funds needed to open your fabrication workshop, showroom and for working capital can be funded by up to 70% by banks/third party lenders and / or Government Loan schemes. (Subject to their usual credit assessment.)
Most other franchise opportunities also do not offer you the ability to expand to other products and service areas as easily as we do. All you need is a little creativity and desire, we'll help with the rest.

Good luck to an old friend and a huge Granite & TREND welcome to our newest franchisee!
Which is why we are very happy to introduce Paul Watkins, the latest business owner to join our rapidly growing network.
Before joining us as a franchise partner, Paul was very new to the kitchen and bathroom renovation sector. Though he had always had an interest in DIY and home renovations, he actually came from a well-established career as a management consultant for a well-known accountancy firm.
“I wanted something that was better for the long-term, something more sustainable.” Paul told us. “My previous job was very up and down, depending on what was happening with the market and especially recently, but this is a much more stable way to make a living. Also, I really wanted to spend a lot less time on video calls and more time doing practical things.”
A Granite & TREND Transformations franchise not only gives you a route into a more hands-on working life, but also empowers you to take control of your career and fulfil your ambitions to be your own boss. However, unlike going it alone, it also offers you the very best of both worlds: the independence and freedom of running your own business, but also with all the support and backing of a large, successful brand.
“This franchise strikes a great balance. You’re never on your own, never left adrift – you’ve always got the franchisor there to help and the rest of the network to lean on. Since joining Granite & TREND, I think about my working life in a much more positive way. I feel like I can solve any problem, finally make all the important decisions and be in control of taking the right action – something that is always missing in corporate roles.”
While a Granite & TREND Transformations franchise provides a tried and trusted way for new and aspiring business owners to make the move to self-employment, some people, like Paul, opt to purchase an established territory instead. With that desire to break into home renovation already in place, the Nottingham resale was simply too good an opportunity to miss.
“Instead of starting from scratch, I wanted to be involved in something that was already off the ground and where I could learn all the right new skills from the current owners. I already knew about Granite & TREND, so when the Nottingham territory came up for sale, I knew it was a great location and I could clearly see that the finances were viable. With a new franchise, you can’t always be sure how it will work in a new area but, with an existing one, you can really hit the ground running.
“I’ve got all the key staff in place already and they’re really great, so I’ve been able to pick up from where the previous owner left off straight away. I’ve really benefited from all their experience of running the business.”
Paul has big plans for the future of his new franchise. With the established business that has already been built up over the years, he has a solid base from which to continue to grow the franchise from strength to strength. He has plans to grow his sales by 50% over the next year – an ambitious goal, but one that is well within his grasp with the power of the Granite & TREND brand behind him.
By offering a highly unique range of products, such as the Top that Fits on Top and a huge selection of worktops, flooring, glass mosaics and other secondary products, we ensure that our franchisees can always stay well ahead of the competition. Through our constant innovation in bringing new products and services to the market, all our franchisees can feel confident that their investment will continue to grow in value for many years to come.
“What really attracted me to Granite & TREND Transformations was the product. Once I had seen the quality of it, I could see that our customers would be very happy with it too. It was something that I would buy myself, so it was something I could believe in and sell.”
As most of our franchisees stay working with us for a long time, openings like this don’t come up very often but, if you are also interested in buying into an established territory, watch this space for all the latest opportunities!
Is it time you found a new career that you can really believe in? Whether you want to step into a business that is already trading, or prefer to build your own venture from the ground up, the Granite & TREND Transformations franchise gives you everything you need to succeed.
We had a great first year and this has been the catalyst for us to expand. Our first 12 months trading turnover was over £400k, we’ve exceeded our projected business plan by 18% and we employ 2 fitters, 2 fabricators and 1 full-time equivalent in our garden centre showroom. This year we will be creating a showroom within our factory site plus we have recently opened a second garden centre showroom in our new Liverpool territory.
Granite & TREND just get it. They bent over backwards to do what they could when they could, to give us everything we needed. They even helped us get the funding for leasing which we needed. Everyone at head office is awesome – they all genuinely want the best for their franchisees. I have nothing but positive feelings towards Danny and his team. I am really glad we went down this route.
