No you don't. Having the right personality, ability and characteristics is far more important. Our aim is to recruit franchise owners who have commitment, drive, ambition, and enthusiasm for the business and have some previous experience operating plant equipment, but this is not essential. We will assist you to obtain a greater understanding of how a good industrial training business should be run.

We are looking for committed, ambitious and motivated individuals who have the desire to own, operate and develop their own business, with or without experience from all backgrounds. As demonstrated via our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant we strongly believe that the characteristics displayed by those individuals leaving a service career could have the ability to operate a successful franchise with us. (Currently three members of Matrix are ex forces veterans / reservists).

Phoenix Industrial Training has developed its business model in line with modern systems and ideas to ensure that it captures, both current and future markets in multiple sectors. The opportunities for growth, depend entirely upon you, and how big you want your business to be. As with any franchise, success is due to the demanding work and dedication of the franchisee. The potential for growth will also depend on the aspirations of each franchisee! for example, whether you decide to recruit additional instructors or stay a "one man band". A number of our current franchisees are aiming to own more than one territory. The options are there for each franchisee.

Once you have received your franchise information pack and should you wish to pursue the matter further, then we will invite you to our main office for a meeting to discuss the matter in more detail.

Yes. You can sell the franchise at any point, and whilst we will work with you to find a suitable buyer we will also have the first option to purchase the business. Any potential buyers can only be confirmed by ourselves.

Your earnings will depend entirely on your hard work and business plan. All of our current franchisee's have diffierent aspirations and their business plans differ accordingly.

No not at all. depending on where your territory is located you would have the ability to book and use one of the network of training centres. However, if you decided to open your own centre, we would be able to offer advice, support and accreditation to ease the process.

Our franchise agreement lasts for five years with an automatic option to renew subject to minimum performance criteria. We are committed to offering the continuing on-going support for all our new franchise operations. We provide hands-on support whenever it is needed. We provide regular support visits, regular audit and review visits, training and development meetings in order to share ideas and experiences. Our Matrix Induction course offers a full week of training on our in-house systems, operations and services and our back-office services. We have a comprehensive business model already in place which takes away all the head-aches so you can focus on making profit. You can be reassured by the fact that Matrix Safety Training is accredited each year and is recognised for its high standards. It is also in the brand’s best interests to train and support franchisees, as the franchise only makes its money when franchisees are making money for themselves.

Only after we have met and decided that all parties are happy to explore a franchise opportunity with Matrix Safety Training. We are looking for talented and motivated franchise partners and, as such, have a stringent recruitment policy. Our franchisees are busy running their own businesses, and we respect that. They have been in the same position as you, though, and are willing to meet with genuine parties that have been through the correct channels. They also want us to make the right selection of potential franchisees because making the wrong selection can only be bad news for everyone. We work well as a whole team!

This depends on when we are schedulled to be running the necessary courses. However, the timescale also depends on the individual franchisee and what prior experience / qualifications the already have. The order in which courses are attended can also be changed in certain situations. That said, every territory will be different, and we will work with you to complete the necessary documents. We will assist you to finalise the business and marketing plans.
