Welcome to Gilmore Consultancy Limited

Gilmore Consultancy Limited is a specialist provider of consultancy services for the hand car wash and valeting industry. Gilmore helps landlords and retailers to set up their own hand car wash and valeting services and also offers a free recruitment service to entrepreneurs looking to find a car wash business opportunity.

Gilmore's directors have many years' experience running businesses, in both the car and car park industries as well as the car wash market specifically. We have a clear understanding of the market and the customer proposition and, importantly, why the industry has changed so much in the last few years. We use this knowledge to help our clients set up and operate car washes and to recruit high-calibre operators.

Gilmore has developed a modular range of services that can be chosen depending upon client requirements. These services include:

Site selection and feasibility studies

Site set-up: installation, building project management etc.

Equipment and consumables supply (initial and ongoing)

Marketing and signage: development of signage and localised marketing      campaigns

Compliance: intellectual property for specifications for set up and      compliance

Recruitment: advice and candidate selection

Training: initial and ongoing

Intellectual property: provision of comprehensive training and Operations      Manual

Operational control: advice on supervision and control; and / or on-site      support

Usually, these landlords manage to recoup most or all of these costs from the incoming operator (again, Gilmore can advise on this) as well as earning an ongoing monthly rent or fee.
