Complete Weed Control

Time to weed out a successful new venture!

Persistent weeds = persistent profits!

30 years of successful franchising

Complete Weed Control, the leading amenity weed control contractor has franchises available immediately in a number of locations offering you the opportunity to develop a business that is both secure and lucrative with repeat business year on year in your own exclusive area.

Launched in 1972, CWC made its first franchise areas available a decade later. Today, 47 regional franchisees offer true national coverage, not just for weed control, but also for the application of fungicides, growth retardants, fertilisers, pest, disease and moss control agents. They spray golf courses, sports pitches, industrial sites, pavements & highways, historic sites, theme parks, waterways and many other leisure and amenity areas.

The company’s franchising success was recognised in 2001 when it reached the final heat of the British Franchise Association’s ‘Franchisor of the Year’ Awards.

Managing Director and former franchisee Ian Graham commented: “Our franchisees have a wealth of expertise and work to a very high standard - professionally, safely and cost-effectively. You’ll receive all the help you need to achieve this, including two weeks of specialist training and ongoing assistance with marketing and business development, mentoring from experienced staff, corporate safety clothing and chemicals. We have a very diverse customer base that includes sports clubs, local authorities, theme parks and industrial businesses, so the work is always interesting and varied.”

The company’s research and development programme means that you’re always one step ahead of the competition. Innovations such as the Weed-IT, the most advanced application technology available for weed control, led to it achieving award-winning status for its environmentally-friendly methods of weed control.

Simon Catchpole, 44, became a CWC franchisee after purchasing the Kent area in May last year. Formerly a commission-based salesman in the gift trade, joining the ranks of workers in the great outdoors couldn’t have provided a greater contrast: “I am having fun” said Simon. “It’s lovely to work outside and I’ve lost a stone in weight. The Managing Director and other franchisees have been incredibly helpful and I’ve learnt so much. I wanted to be involved in a job where what I got back was in relation to the effort I put in. In my old job I spent a great deal of time working away from home. Owning my own franchise business has enabled me to build something for myself and my family rather than someone else and those weeks working away from home are now just a distant memory.”
