Most people buy a franchise for help and support. And to get going quickly while minimising costly mistakes! With Dream Doors you'll enjoy industry-leading training and support through a 13-week induction programme – covering all aspects of running a successful kitchen business – that gets you out selling and making money from the outset.
You’ll also have regular, ongoing visits from a dedicated in-territory support manager experienced in kitchens, sales, finance and business coaching. Plus, we’ll help you find the perfect kitchen installation team who, typically, work on a sub-contracted basis. This means you can focus on meeting your customers and making more sales.
Dream Doors only gets paid when you make a sale, through management services fees which are reduced once annual targets are met. This means the more you sell, the less you pay. And, of course, you only pay when you’ve been paid!

Latest peer-to-peer training sessions a hit with Dream Doors franchisees and staff
Even before most people had taken down their Christmas decorations, Dream Doors was hosting its first peer-to-peer training workshops of 2024.
These sessions, which are free to attend for all franchisees and any member of their team, were held at Neighbourly’s training centre in Northamptonshire.
Mark Edmans, a veteran franchisee who opened his Dream Doors showroom in 2010, admitted time out of the business – even during a busy start to the year – was well-rewarded: “The recent peer-to-peer workshop was a great opportunity to step away from the business and revisit how we manage the customer journey,” he said.
“Even after almost 14 years with Dream Doors, you can always pick up new ideas and processes. For me, it was great to learn how other franchisees approach new customer enquiries and lead development – something that is imperative to the success of our business.”
Croydon-based franchisee, Luke Limbach, who took over an existing business when the founder retired in 2021, said: “These workshops are an invaluable opportunity to share best practice and learn from fellow franchisees in a structured framework lead by the business development managers. After the most recent modules on the sales process, I came away feeling driven and with a list of ideas to implement in my franchise to boost sales.”
55 delegates attended January’s workshops, which were so well received that further sessions are planned in the spring. Dream Doors Managing Director, Rick Howcroft, said: “We have a large network of franchise owners, with talented employees, all with knowledge and experiences to share. And even though they are busy running their own operations, they always value time spent together. So, to be able to host these peer-to-peer workshops here in Brackley – in a dedicated training centre – is something we will continue to encourage, as it benefits everyone connected to the brand.”
Established in 1999, Dream Doors has grown to become the UK’s #1 kitchen makeover company and is now part of Neighbourly, the world’s largest parent company of homes services brands. It is also an Established member of the British Franchise Association. Dream Doors has almost 100 showrooms now open with just over 20 new territories remaining and a handful of existing businesses for sale. The company holds a 9.7 out of ten rating on independent review website Checkatrade, based on over 24,000 reviews.
