Former software salesman Jack Warburton is director of the new franchise after successfully completing his training at More Than Loft Ladders’ headquarters at just 23 years old.
For the young upstart, a franchise opportunity was exactly what he was looking for. He had previously explored different roles before starting his own business, including a field representative for a pest control firm and an enterprise sales development representative for an AI content platform, but Jack’s entrepreneurial nature meant that he was destined for something more. “I’ve wanted to run my own business for many years, but I wanted to explore and find something that clicked for me, and that was utilising the franchising model and its benefits”, explains Jack. “Having a strong brand that already sports a tried and tested formula was a perfect fit for me.”
Jack further outlines his enthusiasm for the brand after learning of its recent and impressive 96% WorkBuzz satisfaction score, “a franchise with such a high and above average satisfaction score gave me the confidence to invest in a business that will have the right support and will last for long time”.
The franchise has achieved success with a range of partners of various ages and experiences. In 2025, one of its young partners – Lewis Perkins, director of More Than Loft Ladders South Midlands – was a finalist for the British Franchise Association’s Young Guns award.
As well as its newest partner being the franchise’s youngest in its history, this also marks More Than Loft Ladder’s first entry into the London market, providing loft storage solutions to the West London and the Thames Valley areas. Its new operations also extend to Slough, Windsor, and Maidenhead through to Marlow, Beaconsfield, Staines, and the surrounding areas.
This comes after a recent partnership with Ant Dybol as director of More Than Loft Ladders North Hampshire, who was the first to take advantage of MTLL’s new Franchise Training & Support Centre located in Long Eaton, Derbyshire. Jack was keen to take full advantage of the new training area, “I take genuine pride in doing the job properly, and this training facility gave me the freedom to make mistakes on a mock-up rig, rather than someone’s home.”
This marks a significant milestone for the franchise’s expansion plans, but this was far from a rushed operation. “It’s important for us to work with the right people and not just fill in areas on a map”, explains director and owner of MTLL Liam Hobbs. “I had been in conversation with Jack for a fair amount of time, as both of us wanted to be sure that it was the right investment for both of us. We might have been able to expand into London much sooner, had we not taken the time and care, but that’s not the MTLL way.”
The expansion into London also brings another first for the franchise – its first fully electric van, in the form of a fully branded Kia PV5. “With the number of options to recharge in the area, it just made long term sense to go fully electric with my new business”, explains Jack.
Hot on his electric heels though is the Franchise Training and Support Centre’s own fully-battery operated van, although it won’t be used for lofting. “Our new Volkswagen ID. Buzz Cargo will be traveling to all our territories, so naturally it’ll be fully branded and advertising the franchise’s investment opportunity”, discloses Liam. “As we travel across the UK for personal one-to-one meetings with our partners or for bespoke content shoots, we may catch someone’s eye who might be considering their own business but have no idea where to start.”
