Rich Rochester has had to relearn the homeworking game from scratch. He first joined GoCruise & Travel in 2006, when the business focused solely on cruise holidays.
Working for a ski tour operator at the time – and already a keen cruiser – the franchisor gave him the chance to run his own business with the backing of an established network.
"The opportunity to be my own boss and take the business in the direction I wanted was a really positive thing," he tells TTG. "Being part of a franchise meant there was a support network, guidelines and best practice to follow, too."
