Who is the franchisor?

Dyno-Rod based its drain cleaning service on what were then new electromechanical techniques. After initial success, Dyno began granting franchise licences in 1965. There are currently twenty five Dyno franchisees in the United Kingdom. As the first non fast food franchised business in the United Kingdom, and the second franchised business of any kind there, Dyno-Rod played a prominent role in the formation of the British Franchise Association, of which it remains a full member.

Over time, the Dyno brand developed other associated businesses, Dyno-Secure was launched in 1987, to offer a range of locks and security services, while in 2001, Dyno-Plumbing offered a comprehensive plumbing service.

Dyno Group was acquired by British Gas, a subsidiary of Centrica, in October 2004. Since then, Dyno franchisees have developed larger territories and operate multiple brands within the Dyno group.

The group is now based in the British Gas Swan House Office complex in Staines.
