Building a National Brand from the Ground Up

Daniel founded Your Man With A Van with a clear mission:
👉 to raise standards in a traditionally inconsistent industry and create a fairer way of doing business.

What started as a single operation has grown into a rapidly expanding UK-wide network, delivering:

  • Reliable man with a van services

  • ✔️ Fairness and transparency in decision-making
  • ✔️ A focus on doing, not just talking

Innovating the Franchise Model

Key features include:

  • Low entry cost with a £3,000 territory fee
  • 30-day rolling contracts (no long-term tie-ins)
  • A simple fixed monthly fee structure
  • No commission on earnings

This model removes common barriers and enables more people to start and grow their own businesses—one of the reasons Daniel’s leadership has been recognised nationally.

Driving Growth While Maintaining Standards

Across the UK network:

  • ⭐ Consistent 5-star customer reviews

  • 🤝 Strong support systems for franchise owners

This balance of growth and consistency is a direct result of strong leadership and clear standards.

Creating Opportunities for Others

Beyond business performance, Daniel’s leadership has focused on creating real opportunities for individuals across the UK.

Through the franchise model, operators are able to:

  • Build their own business
  • Retain control of their income
  • Be part of a supportive network

This people-first approach is a key reason why Your Man With A Van continues to attract both customers and entrepreneurs.
