Hi, I’m Kelly Hobbs, and I’ve been on an unexpected and incredible journey with More Than Loft Ladders. Back in 2012, my husband, Liam, approached me with this seemingly ludicrous idea of buying a More Than Loft Ladders franchise. I remember thinking, “How many loft ladders can you fit? It’ll never work.” Well, I’ve never been happier to admit when I’m wrong.

Liam went ahead and started his franchise in 2013, and to my surprise, it thrived. The demand for creating functional loft spaces was far beyond what I had initially imagined. Fast forward to 2021, and Liam dropped another bombshell—he wanted to buy the entire franchise. This time, I didn’t argue. Instead, I knew I’d be needed to support him in this significant step.

Leaving my job of over 20 years was a leap of faith, but it was a decision I made gladly to stand by Liam’s side. In October 2022, Liam acquired the franchise, and by then, I had taken the reins of his original franchise for a few months. Suddenly, I found myself at the helm of a business with six vans, five installers, a full-time sales surveyor, and a small office managed by one customer care advisor handling all the admin. It was a significant responsibility, but one I was ready to embrace.

I’ve put my own mark on this business, introducing staff wellness events and regular get-togethers with the team. More Than Loft Ladders, under Liam’s ownership, has become more than just a business; it’s a community. It’s not just about installing loft ladders; it’s about creating an environment where the team thrives and feels valued.

Liam’s unwavering support has been the cornerstone of our success. He provides not just guidance but genuine care for each franchisee. The support and training in various areas of business management have been invaluable. It’s not just about running a business; it’s about constantly improving ourselves as business owners and human beings.

Working with More Than Loft Ladders has been an unexpected joy, proving that sometimes the most unconventional ideas lead to the greatest successes. If you’re considering a franchise, let me tell you, More Than Loft Ladders is more than just a business venture—it’s a journey of continuous growth, support, and surprising successes.

Here’s to loft spaces, unexpected triumphs, and the remarkable community that is More Than Loft Ladders. Cheers to Liam, the entire team, and the exciting future ahead!
