A PRIVATE investigation and baliff firm is to franchise its operation nationally.

National Enforcement Services, at Lingfield Point, Darlington, will provide franchisees access to a computer and data system, individual websites, a blog, as well as key contacts and the capability to generate new business.

The bailiff companies set up will trade under the National Enforcement Services brand.

The company is using the services of How2franchise.co.uk in planning for the business.

Chief executive Andy Coates said: “The high demand for bailiff services allows us to invite potential franchisees to come forward.”
