"Daily Poppins is easy to run and can be grown at your own pace!"

Existing Daily Poppins franchise owners discuss their decisions to invest, the benefits of operating a franchise and their achievements to date

Aleksandra Koziol

After witnessing her cousin's success with a Daily Poppins franchise, Aleksandra Koziol decided to invest in one of her own in January 2009 and is now turning over £8,000 a month. "My cousin Agnes Gasecka, the owner of the Basingstoke territory, introduced me to the Daily Poppins concept," recalls Aleksandra. "Initially I worked as a cleaner in the business, and over time worked my way up to become a supervisor. I really enjoyed working with Agnes and I was impressed with her growing success.

"When I moved to Guildford I decided to seize the opportunity and start up my own Daily Poppins franchise. I knew the concept worked and liked the idea of being able to work for myself from home. Before the launch I attended a comprehensive training course and since then have had ongoing support from the Managing Director of Daily Poppins Nigel Bearman.

"Business is going really well, I have two cars on the road and I am now in a position to invest in a third. As my own boss, I have more independence and love the fact that I can work flexible hours around my family. The Daily Poppins franchise is easy to run and can be grown at your own pace - I would definitely recommend it!"
