Countrywide Announced That Their Are the First Letting Agency That Have Formed With Heroes4Hire

Countrywide has announced that they are the first lettings agency that have formed with Heroes4Hire Handymen. The Heroes4Hire Handymen is an organisation that helps veterans of the armed forces to get back in to work. The organisation also makes the most of the veterans’ work ethic as well allows them to use their skills and attention to detail. The organisation is open to ex-servicemen and women, and they carry out a wide variety of services for Countrywide.

Countrywide has been working with Heroes4Hire Handymen for the past six months in order to try and create a maintenance concept that can be used by landlords and tenants. Each handyman involved in the programme goes through a five-week residential training course that covers a wide range of different skills including painting, joinery, plumbing, building and plastering.

The roll-out part of the programme is being tested with local handymen in Greater Manchester, South Manchester and Cheshire. This regional roll-out will be followed by a 12-month national roll-out that will allow the business to support even more veterans. It is thought that the handyman service will be of great benefit for the maintenance services as it will be able to get driven ex-servicemen and women in to more jobs. This contractor partnership with Countrywide is a project will help get armed forces veterans in to work. The Heroes4Hire Handymen service was founded by Nigel Blanchard, an ex-serviceman himself.

Countrywide plc. Works across both commercial and residential sectors as part of the largest network of estate agents and letting agents in the UK. The company has become the first partners of Heroes4Hire Handymen via their Bridgfords and Entwistle Green lettings businesses that are located in Manchester and Cheshire.  As the project expands, more and more of the tenants and landlords under Countrywide will benefit from the services provided by the handymen.
