IAN COLLINS · YOUR FOUNDER & MENTOR
I'VE BUILT
THE BUSINESS.
LET'S BUILD YOURS.
I’ve been the salesperson, the franchisee and the independent business owner. That is the experience I bring to your launch.
My career includes more than £5 million in sales across fitted interiors and kitchens. I’ve worked face to face with homeowners, designed and sold projects, and dealt with the practical decisions that follow a customer saying yes.
I went on to build and sell Spray My Kitchen, then helped establish and manage a kitchen department. I understand the work behind a business: suppliers, pricing, surveying, installation planning, marketing and developing a team.
With the Academy, you work directly with me to put that experience to use in your own business.

FROM THE FIRST SALE
TO RUNNING THE BUSINESS.
Each stage has given me a different perspective on what it takes to win customers and deliver their projects.
I’ve paid the ongoing fees
As a kitchen makeover franchisee, I experienced the training and structure, as well as the fees and operating requirements. That gives me first-hand insight when helping you weigh up an independent route.
Built and sold Spray My Kitchen
I developed an independent business offering kitchen spraying, replacement doors and worktops, and later sold it. I’ve made the decisions about the brand, products, pricing and customer experience that you will face.
Putting the operation together
My work has included showroom setup, supplier buying, sales, surveying and project coordination. I’ve also interviewed staff, managed people and mentored a new Kitchen Manager.
WHY I CREATED THE ACADEMY
YOUR NAME ABOVE THE DOOR.
MY EXPERIENCE BEHIND YOU.
Starting independently means making a lot of decisions. You can work through them with someone who understands the business.
I’ll help you connect the pieces: what to offer, where to buy, how to quote, how to sell and how to organise the work. We build a plan around your experience and the role you want to take.
The aim is to give you a clearer starting point, practical tools and someone to talk to as you put them into use.
