“You are probably unsure which franchise to go for. When I was looking there were so many different great sounding franchises to choose from. However, there was only one that offered me a money back guarantee.

Initially, this combined working from home, flexible working hours and great reviews from existing franchisee’s convinced me to join Time For You.

By following the easy Time For You business model, I quickly built up my very own successful Time For You franchise. My family now enjoys a lifestyle that only a couple of years ago seemed out of reach.

“Was Time For You a good choice? For me, the best choice! Investing in Time For You has provided me and my family with an assured future.”

Caroline Kirby – Time For You Tunbridge Wells.

I now have annual gross profits of well over £120,000.

“I work my business from home to suit myself and my family. I never imagined it would work as well as it has. It’s a really nice, secure feeling to have.

Julie Goodyear – Bury St Edmonds Franchise Owner

Time for you changed my life!

“I invested in Time For You just 12 months ago. As a single parent and with little borrowed money it was important that whatever franchise I picked, was the right one. Although my family are fantastic, and would help whenever they can, I needed my new business to work around my mum duties at home. Time For You was ideal. A proven formula that you can work around your family, from home. By following the Time For You formula I was soon taking on clients and making a residual income.

Time For You has changed my family’s life. It truly is a great business!”

Case Studies

TIME FOR YOU MAKES A DREAM COME TRUE

As a single mum of two children, in 2002, Julia Willkins knew that she would need to earn more money than her old job in cycle proficiency could provide, especially when her daughter, Stephanie, announced that she wanted to pursue her dream of becoming an actress.

‘I realised then that I needed to have my own business’,explains Julia, who after doing a bit of research discovered that franchising was the safest route.

‘I was also doing a bit of cleaning for other people and discovered the Time For You’ she adds. ‘When I learned that as one of their franchise owners you don’t have to do the cleaning and send someone else to do it instead, I thought ‘this is the franchise for me’.

Ahead of the launch of her first Time For You franchise in Hampshire, Julia attended the company’s comprehensive training programme, which covered all aspects of operating the franchise.

‘The training was superb and I was amazed at the happy atmosphere the Franchisors, Freddie and Ruth Rayner, cultivate among their franchise owners from the very start,’ enthuses Julia. ‘Freddie is only too pleased to visit and help his franchise owners during their launches to ensure they have customers from the outset’.

With support not only from the Time For You Head Office, but also her fellow franchise owners, Julia was delighted that within her first year she had built up a regular database of 100 clients.

‘There is no invoicing involved in running a Time For You franchise, as it is mainly a standing order based business with clients paying in advance so there are never cash flow concerns,’ says Julia.

Within her first year, the franchise model ensured Julia was earning enough to put her daughter on the path to her acting dream as well as invest in a second territory in neighbouring West Sussex.

Recognising their mother’s hard work, Julia’s children, Stephanie and her son Matthew, have supported her every step of the way.

‘They were a big help in the early days and even now they are very hands-on whenever they can’ says Julia. ‘Thanks to Time For You, Stephanie was able to win a scholarship for the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York, from where she will be graduating in April’.

With the curtain set to go up on Stephanie’s career and Matthew travelling, Julia has decided the time has come to treat herself. ‘I am eager to go to Thailand and explore Asia, as well as move to a bigger house’, she beams.

A decade since becoming a Time For You franchise owner, Julia has no hesitation in saying it was one of the best things she has ever done.

‘I absolutely love my work! Not only have my office staff and cleaners been with me for a long time, so have many of my 700 customers’, says Julia.

Such loyalty has meant that Julia is about to launch a third territory in the Isle of Wight and extend the services of Time For You franchises offer.

‘Such is the trust we have generated and to meet requests from our clients, we are starting to offer home help services such as ironing and shopping’ explains Julia. ‘As a result of being a franchise owner, I have not only created time for me but also others’.

WM People Ltd has closed

Since launching workingmums.co.uk 18 years ago, followed by workingdads.co.uk and workingwise.co.uk, WM People has built a trusted platform for women, parents, and over 50s.

Over the years, we have published jobs from thousands of public and private sector employers across multiple industries, registered almost 800,000 candidates, and generated almost 2.5 million job applications. Beyond job opportunities, we have published more than 13,000 articles that offer guidance, advice, and support through our editorial content and online events, addressing the unique challenges faced by these critical talent populations.

For employers of all sizes and industries, we have provided access to an incredible pool of talent—experienced women, parents, and those over 50—while offering a platform to authentically showcase their employer brand. Through our research we have intentionally shone a spotlight on the barriers these groups encounter both in finding employment and navigating workplace environments. From the difficulties of returning to work after a career break, discrimination in the hiring process, to the gender pension gap, our work has helped bring these issues to the forefront, driven meaningful conversations and suggested practical approaches to improvement for everyone.

We have championed best practice in areas including flexible working, supporting returners, career progression for women, and attracting, recruiting, and retaining workers over 50. This effort has been reinforced by 14 years of annual Top Employer Awards, and accompanying, detailed Best Practice Reports, as well as our employer-focused roundtables and National Older Workers Week.

Throughout our journey, we have had to innovate and adjust our business models and strategies to keep pace with a constantly evolving marketplace. As a small business, we have grown and adapted, leveraging our websites, and expanding our reach through social media, all while navigating significant economic changes, including two recessions and the pandemic.

However, since COVID-19, the landscape is shifting more rapidly than ever before and as a result of this and other changing economic circumstances we have had to take the incredibly difficult decision to close the business. We know there is still such a need for what we do and we hope others will build on what we have achieved. We also hope in the future to be able to explore other avenues to continue to bring diversity in employment to the forefront of recruitment and HR.

We are immensely proud of what we have achieved over the last 18 years as trailblazers and pioneers, and we are deeply grateful for the unwavering support of all our stakeholders.

Together, we have made a lasting impact on thousands of lives, and have shaped innovative policies and practices in diversity, equity, inclusion, and flexible working across the UK.
