WO: Tell us about yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n

RW<\/strong>: I\u2019m a Scouser born and bred with Irish Roots. I was born just metres away from Everton Football Club in the Walton area of Liverpool. I went to Holy Family High School based in Thornton, Liverpool and decided to then miss out on any further education moving forward. Education really wasn\u2019t really my thing.<\/p>\n

I went straight to work at sixteen and did any job I could to earn my pennies and live life to the fullest without any responsibilities. Throughout my working life I have worked as a Milkman, a Taxi driver, within a Bank, British Telecom and of course, in logistics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

WO: How did you learn about the franchise opportunities that World Options offers?<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
\n
\n
\n
\n

RW<\/strong>: I was on paternity leave from my previous employer Kuehne + Nagel so I decided to have a look at what was available in terms of achieving greatness for myself rather than within a corporate environment where you are just a number. Best thing I did!<\/p>\n

WO: What was it that attracted you in wanting to buy a World Options franchise?<\/strong><\/p>\n

RW<\/strong>: Flexibility in the main however I had other interests such as wanting to learn further and dabble in the parcel market.<\/p>\n

WO: How did you find the process of purchasing a World Options franchise to be like?<\/strong><\/p>\n

RW<\/strong>: Simple if I am honest. It all happened so quickly for me, I was suddenly, a business owner and didn\u2019t realise it almost! The hard work began from day one.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\"\"WO: What do you feel is the key to being a successful franchise owner?<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
\n
\n
\n
\n

RW<\/strong>: Determination, knowing your customers, knowledge, loyalty, and most of all honesty. In this game, people buy from people. Of course, you must have a good product to sell and in World Options<\/a> we have a product, however, it\u2019s the relationships in business that get you where you are.<\/p>\n

Be the best person you can be, and it\u2019ll always work out just fine.<\/p>\n

WO: What can we expect to see from your franchise in the coming months?<\/strong><\/p>\n

RW<\/strong>: I am gearing up to try and make myself a top-five franchisee consistently throughout 2023. It\u2019s intense as we have a lot of superb prospects now so let\u2019s hope we can close then.<\/p>\n

WO: Do you have any advice for someone looking to buy a World Options Franchise?<\/strong><\/p>\n

RW<\/strong>: If you have confidence in your ability then it only comes down to hard work. That will determine whether you succeed or not.<\/p>\n

WO: What is your favourite holiday?<\/strong><\/p>\n

RW<\/strong>: Ibiza!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

WO: What are your Hobbies?<\/strong><\/p>\n

RW<\/strong>: Football, family time and holidays! I wish I had time for more hobbies though.<\/p>\n

WO: Who is the most influential person in your life, and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

RW<\/strong>: My Grandad. He recently passed however it\u2019s unfortunate sometimes because it\u2019s only when you realise the influence they have on your life. Such a hard-working man who painted all his life to serving his number one priority and that was his Family.<\/p>\n

I come from quite a poor background in the main, however, I guess it\u2019s the family work ethic that has led to my success. For me, it\u2019s the bare minimum in life!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
