“Cafe2U has given me the opportunity to completely change my lifestyle. Long hours were preventing me from spending quality time with my family and the credit crunch brought added stress and the possibility of me losing my job as a manager in the financial services industry.” Doug Durnford, franchise partner of Cafe2U Milton Keynes since January 2009.
“In my last job I was starting to feel a kind of boredom, not only earning the same wage but also doing the same tasks. With Cafe2U each day is a different one! I’ve always loved serving people but I also figured that I would spend my life working for others. One day though I just realised, why not work for myself and do what I am good at? As a result, I am now enjoying the satisfaction of supporting something that I truly believe in – offering quality products to customers and providing excellent customer service.” Antonio Petrosino, franchise partner of Cafe2U Merton London since May 2011.
“I have never been happier in my working life, since becoming a Cafe2U franchise partner. My background was in retail management but in shops, not out in the open air! I needed a break from the daily grind of working long hours for someone else. I needed something that would suit the lifestyle of a growing family, but it had to be financially rewarding as well as being enjoyable.” Jeff Peters, franchise partner of Cafe2U Belfast Harbour since 2007.
