Become a Franchise Partner

Can you make green work?

Green-Works is looking for Franchise Partners across the uk - in particular in the North West, North East, Edinburgh and the South Coast. The Green-Works Franchise is ideally suited to existing domestic or commercial furniture projects who are looking to grow in terms of financial income and social outputs. If you like - it's a bolt on to your existing business bringing cash into your business whilst using synergies in people and space. You would need around 7,000 square foot of space or perhaps 5,000 sq ft if you had good external space.

The Franchise Model

Our business model is designed to provide a top quality premium furniture removal service to blue chip organisations. We then reinvest these funds into our retail operation where we provide high quality furniture at

the lowest cost to those who need it most; helping people, businesses and the environment.

Your Role

Green-Works is looking for additional reception centers to receive lorry loads of furniture and process it according to our environmental standards.

You would receive an agreed gate fee from Green-Works to take delivery of each truck. We would then advise you how best to retail the re-useable items and support you with breaking into new markets. We will help you develop a strategic local network so you can make the most of your furniture within your community and assist you in recycling those items not fit for sale.

The Benefits

There are many advantages to buying a franchise. Some of these advantages are:

  • Corporate image - The corporate image and brand awareness of the company is already established and the market leader. Consumers are always more comfortable purchasing items from a familiar name or company they trust.
  • Marketing support - We will provide marketing support ensuring you raise your profile in your local area and get the most out of the brand name.
  • Training - We offer training support for the Green-Works process and systems both onsite and at one of our established locations
  • Savings in time and risk - Since we've been operating for 10 years this year - we've tried lots of different avenues to get this service right - so you won't have to!

It's a great way to enhance your existing business whilst adding new and profitable income streams.

Case Study

In April 2010 Green-Works Group took delivery of our largest primary school clearance working with one of our partners Transformations Unlimited.

One week later a South London school suffered extensive fire damage during renovation works and the facilities management team via the local authority came knocking on Green-Works door as a company that may be able to help get the school back open.

Combined with our own, we gathered the required stock from our franchise partners around the country - Kibbleworks in Paisley Scotland, Ct Office in Bilston Wolverhampton and First Fruit in Silvertown, East London.

In just 5 days we delivered over 1000 items of furniture to the school including making over 60 items from our on-site joinery department and our biggest ever retail order.
