International Woman’s Day – Franchisee in the Spotlight
International Woman’s Day – Our Franchise Tracy Egan
International Woman’s Day – Tracy Egan – Stockcheck
Tracy, who purchased her franchise with us more than 29 years ago, admits business is booming with more than 100 accounts to cover every month.
Born and bred in Solihull but now living in Edgbaston with partner Kevin and daughter Ellie, she originally trained to be a beauty therapist. However, when the owner of the salon bought a bar, Tracy was asked if she would like to run it. She answered in the affirmative. More managerial roles in restaurants and bars followed, before she decided to call time on the unsocial hours and searched for new challenge.
“I had always favored the accounting side of the businesses to front of house side of the licensed trade,” she said. “But I found the stocktaking side of things interesting. I was very aware and controlled a tight ship.
So, Tracy took it upon herself to sit the Institute of Licensed Trade Stock Auditors exams and then looked around for the right opportunity. “When I spotted an advert in the Caterer magazine for a franchise in stocktaking with Stockcheck I look the plunge.”
This was back in 1990….and Tracy has never looked back. Today, Tracy operates with 3 employees and services over 100 monthly clients.
The majority of Tracy’s work is in the Birmingham, Coventry and Leicester areas – 20% involves national accounts brought in by Stockcheck and much of the rest owes a debt to our proactive marketing and referral systems.
“Things continue to move forward which is all you can ask, but I am fortunate to have such an excellent relationship with Stockcheck.”
On International Women’s Day we celebrate the great success of Tracy and all our female stocktakers.
