Leicester, United Kingdom (PressExposure) August 19, 2010 -- Jim White discovered the CityLocal franchise whilst searching on Google for franchise opportunities. Initially he was attracted to the walking man logo but as he investigated the internet business further, it really aroused excitement in him.
Prior to joining CityLocal, Jim "was a managing director of a home insulation business in Birmingham. He set the business up from scratch in 1999."
Jim liked the franchise opportunities so much that he bought CityLocal Nuneaton. Jim loved the fact that he could offer high internet rankings to local businesses, even if they did not have a website of their own. Jim said "From my research so far CL is certainly becoming a major feature on Google."
He described the communication with Head Office in the run up to buying the franchise as "First class! I was very impressed, right from the start."
He found the initial training "intense, but also fulfilling." There is a lot to learn initially, but the good thing is that the 3 days training is also captured on video and can be watched again at home. It certainly helps knowing that once training is over, the videos are there to constantly remind new franchisees what was taught initially.
Jim is now the proud owner of CityLocal Nuneaton and is in the starting phase of launching his new internet business.
