of Just Shutters
Paul Wells has been running his Just Shutters franchise, alongside his wife Lisa, since 2019. Before joining Just Shutters, Paul had worked in retail, working his way up from sales assistant to Regional Project Manager. A desire to be self-employed in a business that he could benefit directly from his hard work, as well as providing a safety net and the opportunity for growth, Paul liked the idea of franchising. Accidentally stumbling upon Just Shutters on LinkedIn, Paul liked what he saw and started to explore the company and industry in more detail. After meeting the team face-to-face, he was keen to start and as they say, the rest is history.

For some franchisees, becoming a successful multi-unit owner can be several years in the making. However, for Sam Aujla it only took two.

His most recent gym in Drogheda, Ireland – opened in December 2023 - has since become the network’s fastest-growing club, reaching over 2,000 members its first full month of opening. However, despite his evident success in the fitness industry, like many franchisees when they first started out, Peter had no fitness industry experience before joining.
