    Mar 20 2025

    In todays Cambridge Business Interview I had the real pleasure of interviewing James Neal, Founder of LDS Cambridge. LDS Cambridge specialises in leaflet distribution and has been in operation since 2000. LDS Cambridge is truly unique in that through innovative technology it can fully track where your leaflets are delivered. They also offer a unique guarantee - “Should your leaflets turn up anywhere untoward such as a skip or a wheelie bin, they will pay for a re-print and a competitor of your choice to deliver them.”We hear about the journey James has been on that has brought him to the really exciting point where he is now recruiting franchisees for territories surrounding Cambridge having successfully created 3 territories within the Cambridge area.James talks candidly about the challenges he’s had and particularly through Covid and how as a result fine-tuned his business to now become a successful franchise opportunity for someone ready to walk into a ready-made business with paying customers in the waiting!The beauty of being an LDS franchisee is that you don’t need to have previous business experience as James provides coaching and ongoing support as of part of the deal. What’s more important to James is that his franchisees have can do attitude and a real willingness to learn.So if you’re ready for a real change, get a work life balance and take control of what happens next and think that owning an LDS franchise might be right for you.To find out more you can reach James on: https://ldscambridge.co.uk/james@ldscambridge.co.uk
