Multi-unit Greensleeves franchisee wins major franchise award
26-September-2024
Developing an existing lawn care business into a profitable multi-unit operation in under 5 years has helped husband and wife team, David and Danielle Davison, win a whichfranchise Great British Franchisee Award.
David and Danielle have been running their Greensleeves Lawn Care franchise since 2019. They initially bought a franchise resale in Surrey North before acquiring Twickenham a few years later.
Deemed as one of the highest honours in the industry, the award recognises outstanding franchisees’ ability to perform exceptionally well in all areas of their business.
The judges were impressed with this growth through acquisition and their ambitious growth plans for the future.
They were also very impressed with how they have used their initiative to effectively add additional revenue streams that have helped turn quiet months into busy months which is important when running a “seasonal” business.
“David and Danielle are great advocates for the business. They have a very strong partnership that combines their skills to make them excellent franchisees. They have exciting and ambitious plans for the future.”
David and Danielle have extensive sales and management experience and skills that they have leveraged well when focusing on the growth of their business.
They are financially astute and are therefore able to model, and execute, growth plans. They have done this through financial modelling tools which have allowed them to make informed and proactive decisions around all areas of the business.
‘We’re delighted that David & Danielle have been chosen as very worthy winners of this prestigious award,” commented Cheryl Harper, MD of Greensleeves.
“It’s a testament to their commitment and hard work as Greensleeves Lawn Care franchisees over the last 5 years. They have achieved fantastic growth in both customer numbers and turnover in that time and are great advocates for both their business and our brand. We look forward to seeing their continued growth and success in the future.”
David and Danielle were equally as delighted with the recognition.
“We are absolutely thrilled and honoured to receive a Great British Franchise award. The last 5 years has been an amazing journey, one that has involved huge sacrifices, hard work, dedication and resilience, but one that has delivered unbelievable results. We are passionate in delivering first class customer care and are so lucky to genuinely enjoy what we do.
This is testament to our amazing team, everyone at Greensleeves and all our wonderful customers. Thank you to everyone at the whichfranchise for recognising us with this award – we will be proudly sharing this with all our customers!!”
