Successful Franchise Owners to Lead Brands
January 21, 2010
Clockwork Home Services, Inc., announced at its November 2009 annual Congress meeting of the franchisees of One Hour Air Conditioning & Heating®, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® and Mister Sparky America’s On-Time Electrician®, that franchisees will now have the opportunity to elect a new president for each of the franchise brands.
These newly elected presidents will each serve a two-year term beginning in January 2010. Candidates for these positions will be nominated from existing successful franchisees of each brand. Tab Hunter who had been the president of Franchise Operations for Clockwork will be available to assist the company in a consulting role.
“When we looked at the criteria required of a president, it only made sense to elevate a successful franchisee to that post,” explained Jim Abrams, president and CEO of Clockwork. “Who better to lead the fastest growing franchises than our most successful business owners? We are extremely excited to have these highly successful individuals share their knowledge, experience, and strategies with all of the franchisees.
“In the end, Clockwork and the franchisees should benefit tremendously from this arrangement,” said Abrams.
The new presidents will lead three brands that have become highly successful in a short period of time.
