Metro Rod Franchisees Setting the Standard in Essential Services

The event took place at the historic Kimpton Clocktower Hotel, where franchisees with turnovers exceeding £1.75 million were recognised for their exceptional business growth. The evening was hosted by Peter Molloy, newly appointed CEO of the Water & Waste Services Division at Franchise Brands Plc, who also now serves as a Director on the company’s Board.

Bringing together high-achieving business owners and members of the central support team, the event highlighted the strength of the Metro Rod franchise network and its role in delivering critical services to customers across the UK.

Strength in Systems, Growth on the Ground

Founded over 40 years ago, Metro Rod has built its reputation on reliability, operational excellence, and a proven franchise model. Today, the brand supports a nationwide network of franchisees operating in both commercial and domestic markets—responding to everything from routine maintenance to emergency call-outs.

What sets top franchisees apart is not just the scale of their operations, but the consistency with which they deliver. By investing in training, vehicles, equipment, and local teams, many are expanding their reach and improving service standards across their regions.

A Resilient Sector, a Scalable Model

Drainage and wastewater services remain in high demand, and Metro Rod continues to provide a clear pathway for ambitious entrepreneurs to enter the sector with confidence. The franchise model combines national brand strength with local ownership, supported by robust systems and ongoing guidance from an experienced head office team.

For those with operational experience or a background in managing people and processes, the opportunity to build a Metro Rod franchise offers both commercial potential and long-term stability.

A Network Positioned for Growth

Metro Rod’s recent recognition of high-performing franchisees comes at a time when the business is focused on expansion, with opportunities available across several UK regions. The brand is particularly interested in speaking with individuals who bring leadership experience, commercial awareness, and a commitment to delivering quality service.

Franchise opportunities with Metro Rod are open now—offering the chance to join a well-established network operating in a vital, resilient industry.
