Estate agency recruitment specialist Rayner Personnel has revealed ambitious growth plans, aiming to double in size over the next 12 months.

The company will achieve this by increasing the number of licensees working in its regional franchises, which now cover most of the UK.

The licensee role involves taking the Rayner Personnel service to a particular territory, building business by promoting the brand within the area and ensuring a good customer experience for candidates and employers alike. Licensees retain up to 40% of the income they generate.

A licence differs from a franchise in that there is no outlay for the licence, making the proposition a limited risk.

Rayner Personnel managing director Joshua Rayner said licensees can realistically expect to earn upwards of £50,000 annually and that several existing licence holders will generate an income of £65,000 or more this year .

He said that one is on course to earn £95,000.
