no barrier for VIP
VIP Bin Cleaning
have continued their expansion overseas
by awarding the master licence for
Belgium to Edwin van der Hel. This
deal represents new and unchartered
waters for the company as it is the
first time they have launched the business
into mainland Europe and even more
importantly the first time into a non-English
speaking country.
The company already has operations
in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa,
California USA, and Ontario Canada,
as well as franchisees throughout the
UK. It was this experience and strong
brand awareness that convinced Edwin
to take the business into Belgium. More >
