Dirk was an experienced builder in Iceland when he met Kaye 3 years ago. Kaye had been working at a children’s hospital in Romania and they were then on the plane every 6 weeks visiting each other. They decided to settle in the UK after the distance became too much and Kaye began looking for the ideal opportunity for them to work together and build a solid future.


How they got involved with The Garage Conversion Company

“One day in October 2006 I was reading the Daily Express and I came across this little advert for The Garage Conversion Company. I rang up to enquire and did some back ground research. By September 2007 we launched our franchise in Hull. We moved to the area because of the franchise,” explains Kaye.


Hull was chosen not only for its opportunity as a franchise zone, but because of Dirk’s dream to one day renovate a ship and take passengers. They hope that the franchise will facilitate this over the long term. “We are so pleased that we did this,” adds Dirk.


Kaye and Dirk’s top tips for individuals considering this franchise …
“We didn’t just jump into it; we did lots of research first, “ says Kaye who heads up the sales and administration for the business. Kaye and Dirk do different tasks on a daily basis but try to visit clients together. “It is important to have your own sense of ownership over tasks within the business,” adds Dirk. “We need some help up here!” says Kaye. Kaye and Dirk currently cover the whole of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire as there is a shortage of franchisees in their neighbouring territories.


What Phil Bateman, Managing Director of The Garage Conversion Company says:

“Dirk is an incredibly driven man with vast experience in the building trade. His attention to detail and eye for precision makes him an ideal Garage Conversion Franchisee. Together, Kaye and Dirk make a balanced team that are performing well in a large geographical area. We are actively searching for another franchisee to join them in the region as the potential is huge and we know that Dirk and Kaye are working all the hours possible to respond to all the enquiries and demand for garage conversions!”


“Yorkshire has vast potential & all the franchisees within this area should do extremely well.”
