PRESS RELEASE: Jim’s Handyman Empowers New Business Owners to Thrive in 2023

Melbourne, Australia 2023 – Leroy Judge, a former engineering officer of the New Zealand Army, shares his remarkable journey as a new business owner with Jim’s Handyman. Judge, who had no background knowledge in business or marketing, highlights how Jim’s Group is revolutionising entrepreneurship for individuals like him.

Jim’s Unparalleled Proven and Tested System

Judge chose to start his handyman franchise with Jim’s, citing the brand’s long-standing reputation and his familiarity with their trusted services. “I grew up with Jim’s as a franchise, and it has always been a trusted brand,” Judge explains when asked about his decision.

For individuals lacking business expertise, Judge emphasises the importance of entering an established system or brand. Many business owners fail not due to a lack of effort but because they lack an effective system. Jim’s Group, a franchise company since 1989, has developed a proven system that yields consistent results. With over 5,000 franchises, it proudly stands as Australia’s largest franchise company.

“What stood out for me was the least amount of stress involved, and I genuinely appreciated their exceptional customer service,” recalls Judge, reflecting on the daunting transition from his 10-year army career to starting a handyman business in Papakura, New Zealand. He contrasts Jim’s service with other franchises he had previously explored and underscores Jim’s emphasis on customer satisfaction.

Comprehensive Training and Support from Jim’s

When asked about his training experience with Jim’s, Judge explains, “It was during COVID, so it was a little different. Everything was conducted online.” He credits the training for reinforcing his decision to join Jim’s.

“As someone with no business background, receiving valuable insights from experienced individuals, including franchisors and fellow franchisees, was invaluable. Jim’s provides abundant online resources, including stories from other successful franchisees, offering guidance and inspiration for establishing a thriving business,” Judge adds.

Judge summarises his experience with Jim’s by saying, “It has been an emotional roller coaster at times, but with Jim’s, it has been considerably easier. The support from my franchisor and fellow franchisees has been incredibly helpful. We meet every six weeks, exchange experiences, learn from one another, and ensure we don’t repeat the same mistakes.”

“Our impact on the community has been remarkable,” adds Judge, who serves the Papakura area. Dissatisfied with the quality of handyman services available previously, he has successfully implemented Jim’s formula for excellence, placing customers’ needs at the forefront.

Judge hopes that sharing his story, from being an army officer with no business knowledge to becoming a full-time and thriving Jim’s Handyman franchisee, will inspire more individuals to embark on their entrepreneurial journey. He believes the rewards are worth it, and as his own boss, he now enjoys more time with his family.
