I've always loved the idea of being my own boss but I'd never had an idea of my own that I felt so convinced would work that I was willing to take the plunge, either psychologically or financially. I've always loved the outdoors too, but ideas around opening campsites or buying some forest to use for...something...always felt so vague and risky. The Outdoors Project was a business I'd known of for a while and I always loved what they did. Getting kids outdoors and active is an objective that it's hard to feel anything other than incredibly positive about. When I heard there was an opportunity to take on a franchise it just seemed to make so much sense; here was a business completely in-line with my personal interests and goals, which operates with a social conscience and has been proven to be commercially viable. The Outdoors Project has been going long enough to know what works and what doesn't, what should be prioritised and where time should be focussed in those crucial first years. My experience as a franchisee is feeling the autonomy of running my own business combined with the comfort of knowing I can access support from an experienced HQ team when I need it. It's an exciting adventure without a blind leap into the unknown, and it's the best decision I ever made.

Life before becoming an Outdoors Project franchisee was tough and relentless, 3 children under the age of 6, 2 parents working full time and both commuting 4 hours a day from Brighton to London. When my youngest children started school it quickly became clear that our current work/life balance just wasn’t sustainable, my children needed me around more and I felt guilty not being there so we took a family decision that I would quit my job and do something different that enabled the ‘holy grail’ of being around for my children whilst also having a successful and rewarding career. Right from the start I believed in the brand and the proposition, it seemed like no other clubs offered anything like it and I was able to see first hand how much the children enjoyed it. I started working some of the clubs to build my confidence and I soon realised that it wasn’t a scary as it seemed. The sessions and activities are so well planned, tested and organised that you don’t need to be children’s entertainer to deliver them. With only 3 weeks to find a venue, recruit and train a team, buy all the kit and navigate COVID procedures, I was up against it. However, with the support of HQ we got the clubs on sale within 24hrs of deciding to go ahead and by the time I ran my first club in mid July most of our clubs were full. I couldn’t have asked for a better start to my franchise journey: great location, awesome team, fabulous weather, brilliant activities, all made better with a great bunch kids and parents. One thing I hadn’t accounted for when making my decision was the sense of achievement I felt when I knew I’d had an impact on a child. There are lots kids out there that need a bit of extra help and it was an amazing feeling to see them developing with the help from me and my team. I am confident I have a business that can roll with the punches and still deliver a much needed service for children and parents.

The Outdoors project have got what I think is an amazing product with loads of potential and very few rivals, It's a great model for a kids activities business. No franchisor is perfect and does everything for you but I can honestly say Sam and Joel do a lot more than much more expensive and experienced franchisors and it's a great model for a kids activities business.
