The founders
Dan and Cat Robson-Scarborough
Dan Robson-Scarborough
Founder and Co-Director
Dan started Your Man With A Van in 2010 as a music student who needed a van for his DJ kit. Friends and family started asking for help with their moves, and one lawnmower delivery later he had a business. He spent the next 14 years on the van himself, building a reputation on turning up on time, looking after people’s things and doing the job properly. He was a national finalist, top 3, for Business Leader of the Year 2025.
Cat Robson-Scarborough
Co-founder and Director
Cat spent her career in customer trust and retail leadership, including as UK Director of Retail and Customer Services at Orvis. She designed the Your Man With A Van franchise model, launched in January 2024, and personally speaks to every person who applies to join. She was named Entrepreneur of the Year at the Global Woman Awards 2026, and was a 2026 finalist in the Great British Entrepreneur Awards, the Woman Who Awards and the Best Business Women Awards.
Story ideas
Angles we can help with
Looking for a hook? Here are a few, and Cat is happy to talk through others.
Most franchises take a cut of turnover. Our branch owners pay a fixed monthly fee, so the harder they work the more they keep. Why we built it that way, and what it changes.
Our branch owners include a former long-distance lorry driver, a courier of ten years and a business owner who came out of retirement. Branch owners are happy to talk on request.
From a music student moving his own DJ kit in 2010 to a national network in under three years of franchising.
A trade with a reputation for no-shows and damage, and a network built on doing the job properly, with 3,800+ five-star reviews to show for it.
Cat designed the franchise model and personally speaks to every applicant. She was named Entrepreneur of the Year at the Global Woman Awards 2026.
