RAAJ TUTT
SUBWAY® Franchisee
Raaj Tutt owns and operates a SUBWAY® store at Crystal Peaks Shopping Centre in Sheffield. Raaj now employs
nine full-time and two part-time members of staff.
“Running my own business had always been an ambition of mine and I was keen to get started in a secure
environment, which is why I chose franchising. I moved from a marketing background into the catering
industry, which was a huge diversion within my career path.
“Taking on the management of 11 staff and having the extra responsibility of being in charge of my own
business was always going to be a challenge – but I knew I was up to the task. At the beginning, I found
myself working long hours, however the rewards and satisfaction gained from it were well worth it!”
