IAM2440 - CEO and Founder Redefines Home Care Industry and Builds a Thriving Franchise

Amrit Dhaliwal is an innovative entrepreneur leading Walfinch, a premium home care franchise in the UK.

 

Amrit's entrepreneurial spirit began at a young age, when he was 8, and he started trading Ryan Giggs posters in the playground. After university, he worked in various businesses, including cafes and delis, winning business awards by his early twenties.

 

Walfinch now has a turnover of £18 million, with 36 locations and 32 franchisees. Amrit's leadership helped the company secure recognition on the UK's Fast Growth Index and in the Home Care Insight Power List.

 

Amrit stresses the importance of being selective with franchisees. He takes a hands-on approach to understanding each potential franchisee’s alignment with the company's values.

 

Amrit highlights the importance of having a mentor or coach. This advisor helps keep him accountable, offers advice, and warns him of challenges before they arise.

 

He emphasizes that leadership, problem-solving, resource allocation, and talent acquisition are essential traits of a CEO, referencing Jim Collins' concept from "Good to Great," which involves getting the right people on the bus.
