Pauline May supplies clothing to the elderly. The core business is selling into Care Homes via a mobile shop, but sales are also generated by supplying the general public and the housebound.

Over the past 35 years the UK population increased by 8 per cent, but the population aged over 65 grew by 31 per cent during the same period and is increasing, so you will be servicing an expanding market.

Pauline May plugs a gap in the market, many traditional manufactures of clothing for the elderly have turned their attention to the younger market and Pauline May is truly a one stop shop for the elderly and able to dress ladies and gentlemen from top to toe in stylish affordable easy care clothing. This is a much-appreciated service by care homes, the relatives of the elderly and the elderly themselves.

The Pauline May Franchise is a well established business which will enable you to get started in your own, successful profitable business using tried and tested techniques developed by Pauline May over the past 16 years.

During research carried out by Professor Julia Twigg of the University of Kent when preparing a paper on clothing for the elderly, she commented that it appeared that Pauline May is the only company in the UK with this type of operation for the supply of clothing to the elderly.

The franchise does not require previous experience or special skills other than being able to drive and be comfortable with the elderly. There is a certain amount of telephone work in the early states but full training is given. 

This simple to run business is suitable for single people, couples or partners of any age or background who enjoy meeting people and want to be in charge of their own destiny.
