David Sandelands, Owner of Oven Rescue Derbyshire
Oven Rescue Derbyshire
“With 16 years in insurance, health and fitness management, vending solutions, and health and safety, I’ve built strong business development and customer relationship skills that have helped grow my business and brand.
Since launching Oven Rescue Derbyshire in November 2025, the business has experienced consistent growth. Between January and June 2026, Oven Rescue Derbyshire generated a turnover of £28,610, with June being the strongest month, with total turnover being £5,250.
From day one, we were consistently booking 2–3 weeks in advance, and to this day, we continue to maintain that, with a growing number of repeat customers and same-day rebookings.
During our first eight weeks, the business delivered consistent booking levels week after week:
Week 1 – £1,245
Week 2 – £1,360
Week 3 – £1,445
Week 4 – £1,500
Week 5 – £1,040
Week 6 – £1,080
Week 7 – £1,270
Week 8 – £1,475
Oliver was brought in from the outset after completing training with Mike. To support lead generation, we invest around £600 per month in Facebook advertising, using Oven Rescue’s proven ad strategy, which has consistently delivered enquiries and bookings.
One of the things that really stands out is the branding. From the professionally sign-written van and branded uniform to the high-quality marketing materials, the business presents itself as a premium, professional service. It immediately gives customers confidence and sets Oven Rescue Derbyshire apart from the typical one-man-band operators.
The investment has proven to be low risk and highly rewarding. The work is straightforward, enjoyable, and customer-focused, offering the freedom to manage your own schedule while delivering a service that genuinely impresses customers. Seeing customers’ reactions to the finished results is incredibly satisfying.
Looking back, I only wish I’d started sooner. The ongoing support has been exceptional, and you’re never left to figure things out on your own.”
