The facts
In the ten year period to
2007, the percentage of males in the available workforce
between 25 and 34 will decrease by 22.5% whilst those
aged between 55 and 64 will rise by 25%. Even men over
65 available to work will increase by 8%.
The corresponding figures for women are even more amazing
with a 40% increase forecast for the 55-64 category and
+16% for over 65s.
Employers will simply have no choice. The balance of age
in nearly every company will have to change to match the
pool of available workers. |

Running a Wrinklies Direct
licence does not involve rocket science.
You need to be good with people and be committed to putting the work
in. You don't need a lot of money to start but you will need to convince
us that you're serious about being successful.
There may also be opportunities for running Wrinklies Direct in
your area under licence. This is ideal for a one or two person
operation at an affordable licence fee.
WHY LICENCE?
One reason must be that 94% of franchises are
still in profit after 5 years compared to only 45% of other independent
small firms.
There are some 568 business format franchises in the UK comprising
almost 30,000 franchisees all with a variety of former careers.
In general terms, the success of a franchise is in the adoption of
an idea that someone else has already had! But it still takes a great
deal of effort and usually a substantial investment. It's not an easy
option and it's not generally cheap. With Wrinklies Direct, the
formula is even more appealing than normal because the cost of both
start-up and on-going overhead is surprisingly low.
The objective for us is simple.
Recruit the right people to run Wrinklies throughout the country.
We want everyone to make money, because unless that is true there
will be no nationwide network. But we also want to find jobs for
as many people as we can; that's what Wrinklies is all about.
Keeping license costs low allows us to focus on the quality and
suitability of individual applicants rather than their access
to funds. Our aim is to ensure that Wrinklies Direct is represented
to a consistently high standard wherever we operate.
For employers, Wrinklies Direct will increasingly become the most
cost effective way of recruiting experienced staff.
For you, Wrinklies Direct could provide an outlet for your interpersonal
skills and a low-risk way of running your own business successfully.
