MARRS - The Finishing Touch

Find your Creative Flair

Marrs have been an established part of the window furnishing industry for over 32 years. With brother and sister duo Sally-Anne and David Ferguson leading the way, this second generation partnership has immense industry and business knowledge to take Marrs successfully into the future.

Sally-Anne and David have developed a system that allows for franchise owners to have the flexibility and lifestyle benefits of being a mobile business owner, coupled with the opportunity for business owners to inject passion, enthusiasm and the ability to realise profits.

As part of developing the franchise model, Marrs invested in the experience of the team at PwC.

“In 2010, PwC assisted the owners of Marrs to design a franchise strategy and build a comprehensive franchise system. Marrs are now in the process of rolling out this franchise opportunity and we wish the Marrs team all the very best with their expansion plans,” says Greg Hodson, Partner at PwC.

The Marrs franchise system provides the framework for a premium level of service to be provided to the client directly by the owner of the business. Sally-Anne and David see this as integral in the window furnishings industry and a key reason why Marrs has been so successful in the past. The benefit of the Marrs franchise is that customers will receive this personal service whilst the franchisees also gain group buying advantages, support from an experienced team, an environment to be creative, and they are kept up to date latest trends and developments.
