Oltco Bath

Oltco Bath is run by James Gardner who, after meeting with Oltco’s Founders, Tom and Johnny, realised that Oltco ticked all the boxes for him.

Everything about our franchise opportunity resonated with him – from our values and high quality products through to our outstanding customer service ethos.

Launching in 2019, James has a five year plan for his franchise and plans to continue to build on Oltco’s already successful business model. In the future, James hopes to introduce two or three new territories to Oltco’s growing portfolio along with having his own office and showroom.

Oltco Lancaster

Headed up by Roger Hardaker, Oltco’s hub in Lancaster delivers resin driveway solutions to customers across Lancaster and the South Lakes region, including the major towns of Morecambe, Carnforth, Barrow-in Furness and Kendal.

Roger joined the Oltco team after a successful career as an IFA, running his own business for 25 years. Three years into his retirement, Roger decided he wanted a new challenge and as an experienced businessman wanted to run a business again and Oltco’s franchise opportunity provided the perfect solution.

Oltco Ipswich

Headed up by Mark Betts, Oltco Ipswich delivers premium resin bound solutions across Ipswich and the surrounding areas including Aldeburgh, Felixstowe and Stowmarket.

Before joining the Oltco team in 2019, Mark had 35 years’ experience running his family roofing business and working within the construction industry. Like Roger, Mark decided it was time for a new challenge and was excited by Oltco’s Recycle Bound product and decided it was the right business opportunity for him.

Mark’s business experience and his skills, he was perfectly equipped to take on an Oltco franchise and the Ipswich area is going from strength to strength.

Oltco Colchester

Headed up by Liam Dorian, Oltco Colchester is the first franchisee working across Essex.

As a hardworking young businessman with a background working across the construction industry, Oltco provided Liam with the perfect solution to work for himself, with a credible brand and the support of the Oltco team behind him.

The sales and installation training has provided Liam with the skills required to successfully deliver Oltco’s high-quality resin bound driveways across the area, providing excellent customer service.

Oltco Northwich, Cheshire

At the Helm of Oltco Northwich, Cheshire is Nick Evans who works alongside his trained team of specialists to deliver superior resin bound solutions across Northwich, Cheshire and the surrounding areas including Nantwich, Sandbach, Crewe, Middlewich, Holmes Chapel and Congleton.

Nick’s career began in the hospitality industry in 1991 when he worked in a pub whilst studying Biochemistry at university. From there, Nick worked his way up through the ranks over 29 years. As part of this journey, Nick spent 15 years working alongside franchises including Pizza Hut and KFC, focusing on the growth and development of the franchises, and the individuals behind them.

After 29 years in the hospitality industry, Nick decided it was time for a new venture and after hearing about the opportunity to join the Oltco family by coincidence on two separate occasions, he decided to find out more about the business.

Nick’s brother, a local business owner, who Tom and Johnny have supported and a business contact of Nick’s, who happened to be our Franchise Consultant and Director, Nick Carnes, both felt that Nick would be the perfect fit for the business and shared this opportunity with him.

After realising that his values and ethos were totally in line with Oltco’s, and that his experience as a Franchise Coach could bring a totally new skillset to the team, Nick launched Oltco Northwich, Cheshire in 2019.
