Tickety-Boo does a Franchising Double

Tickety-Boo MusicTime class leaders Julia Creaton and Rebecca Shrewsbury have enjoyed the experience so much since starting in September 2006 that they have both decided to take on their own Tickety-Boo MusicTime Franchises for Solihull and Bearwood and Sandwell.

The 2 moms have found the flexibility of running classes around their families, coupled with the fun and enjoyment of the programme makes for an easy decision to become the first Tickety-Boo Franchisees in the UK. With both having helped develop the Tickety-Boo MusicTime programme in conjunction with Musicate a music education company based in Birmingham. Michelle & Colin Nevin the founders of Tickety-Boo are both extremely flattered, that at such an early stage in Tickety-Boo’s development they are showing so much confidence in the brand and are confident they will both be great ambassadors in pushing forward the Tickety-Boo programmes.

Tickety-Boo Franchises are available now across the UK for both the MusicTime and PlayTime programmes, Sutton Coldfield, Solihull, Redditch & Leamington Spa have active thriving Tickety-Boo PlayTime sites and could be considered for the first territories, for enquiries please contact Colin Nevin on info@tickety-boo.uk.com or ring 01676 530752 for more details.

Couple Team Up With Kids In Mind

When Michelle Nevin’s husband told her he wanted to spend more time with the family, she just expected him home a bit earlier from work.

But Colin Nevin, a company director, decided he wanted to change his executive lifestyle, relocate and start a business with Michelle as his partner, with other families in mind.

The end result for the Balsall Common couple is the launch of Tickety Boo, a children’s adventure play programme they hope to turn into a UK franchise operation and Arabesque School of Dance.

Aimed at six-months to school age, Tickety Boo will operate at weekends and through the week, with classes in Sutton, Solihull, Warwick, Bournville, Redditch, Wylde Green and Balsall Common, all geared to fun, adventure, play and fitness.

<<Back

Whilst Arabesque, headed by Michelle, a Royal Academy of Dance registered teacher of 13 years standing, will provide ballet and new pre-school dance curriculum at venues in Wylde Green, Leamington Spa, Solihull and Mere Green.

“I used to help on weekends when Michelle ran ballet schools in Birmingham and Sunderland. I liked the social interaction with other parents and families and the fact that I could spend quality time with my wife and daughter after a busy week away.

“So, I thought why not do it for a living. Exchanged my car for a van, sourced the latest play equipment, used my corporate skills to develop a business plan and marketing strategy, then we set about finding venues.”

The Nevin’s timetable looks pretty hectic for the year ahead and ambitious franchise plans for Tickety Boo will mean Colin’s experience as an executive will come in handy, but at the moment he’s happy with his official title of ‘Man with a Van’.
