With over 25 years track record of success, countless awards and more than 65,000 happy (and healthy) customers across the UK, Riverford’s now the UK’s leading organic vegbox delivery company. About us Our philosophy is simple. We bring delicious organic grub straight from the fields to our customers’ kitchens – it’s less than 48 hours from ground to plate. Who says fast food can’t be healthy eh? Starting off with just 20 customers over 25 years ago we now deliver to over 65,000 households. If that sounds like an impressive rate of growth, it is. At the heart of our success are our franchisees, people who share our passion for great tasting food and a top notch service. Whilst they come from all walks of life they all share one distinct quality – they’re not afraid of hard work.

About you

You’ll be delivering boxes of the very best organic fruit and vegetables around, fresh from the farm direct to your customers’ kitchens. You’ll be far from just a delivery driver though. Try MD, Driver, Marketing Manager, Accountant, PA and Customer Services…that’s more like it, after all you’ll be responsible for everything from building your business to running it. So you’ll really need to know your onions (although we’ve also got the Riverford Academy in the North West if you’ve got the drive but not the experience). You’ll need to be willing to live, breathe, sleep and eat the veg too, passing on your passion to your customers and growing a business you can really call your own. Like our fruit and veg it’s a tasty proposition, but it takes just as much hard work (expect early starts, late finishes and plenty of lifting and shifting of heavy loads) to produce the best results.

What do you need?

To become a full franchisee for a new territory you’ll need £9,000 (+van, office equipment and some working capital) and we’ll be looking for a 20% deposit to secure your patch. The cost to buy an existing territory will be dependent on it’s size and valuation. You’ll also need to live in (or be willing to relocate to) your chosen territory and you must have a fully equipped home office with a computer and broadband access. Working capital for your first few months of trading and finance for your delivery van are also essential. A few tasty recipes wouldn’t do any harm either.

What do you get?

In return for your investment we’ll give you:

the training week a launch package an exclusive protected territory with market intelligence and consumer profiling full operations manuals access to Riverford’s home delivery software stationery

corporate clothing marketing materials sign writing of your first van access to our website and online ordering vehicle selection and ordering advice on the selection of banking and business insurance

We also offer our franchisees unlimited ongoing support. As our founder, Guy Watson, explains “Our idea is to retain the social, environmental and economic advantages of small, local businesses, while sharing the advantages that scale gives. This brings business benefits like sharing IT and finance systems, but even more importantly, we can share knowledge.”

A management service fee is charged at 3% of your sales and includes:

website advertising, order taking and ongoing development customer call centre all the in-box marketing and promotions quality marketing materials meetings, franchise manager support, advice and further training samples, special offers and promotional gifts free hire of show equipment, banners and signs future developments to the systems and the franchise network

Profit potential

The more energy and effort you put in, the more potential profit you’ll get out. Work hard and you could have an annual turnover of £350,000 within three years. One of our franchisees reached a turnover of £3,600 per week, delivering to over 340 customers, in just five months! Profits can obviously be grown by adding new customers and increasing their average spend. Some of our top performing franchisees now gross over £600 per delivery round.

We have many new and resale franchises avaliable throughout the UK. Please contact us for our current listing - register your interest by filling in the form below and we'll get in touch with you as soon as possible!
