Regional Franchisors for Jim’s Group New Zealand
Gary became a Jim’s Mowing Regional Franchisor in 2005, mowed lawns and re-learned business as a ‘Jim’. Since then Gary has learned what it takes to build and run successful Mowing and Garden Care businesses. Since 2005 the NZ North team have more than quadrupled in size, while demand for services has grown hugely, from no new requests unserviced in 2006 to over 1000 unserviced new client requests each year (so we really need more Franchisees to keep up with the demand).
Gary sees a Jim’s Mowing franchise as providing opportunity – to completely change your life. To regain the ability to choose your life - your time, your clients, your earnings. And that means (mostly) it is good fun too.
Darrell became a Jim’s Mowing Regional Franchisor in 2018. He started with Jim’s as a Test & Tag Franchisee in 2015, and in 2017 he was the winner of the Jim’s Test & Tag Franchisee of the Year Award.
The Bay of Plenty and Hawkes Bay Area is large in size and has a big demand for services; a lot are going unserviced which means there are great opportunities for new Franchisees coming in, as well as existing Franchisees to grow.
Darrell believes the relationship between the Franchisee and Franchisor is a partnership and his goal is to have happy & successful Franchisees. Working is grossly overrated (a necessary evil) but it’s something most of us have to do so why not do something that gives you flexibility about what and when you do it, and at the same time provides you with a comfortable income, for a modest investment.
When Darrell’s not working, he likes to spend his time with his family, friends, he enjoys watching cricket, motorsport and would like to spend more time on the river trout fishing.
Ricky Newby is the Regional Franchisor for Jim’s Mowing across the Waikato, Wellington, Christchurch and Otago regions, bringing extensive experience across franchising, business management, sales and marketing.
Before joining Jim’s, Ricky worked as a concert promoter and bar and nightclub owner and was also a co-owner of a nationwide music television station on SKY TV, giving him a strong background in business development, marketing and customer engagement.
Ricky was also a successful Jim’s Mowing franchisee, running his own business with a team of six before moving into senior management roles within Jim’s Group NZ. During his time with the business, Ricky held the positions of General Manager of Jim’s Group NZ and NZ Mowing Divisional Manager, gaining a broad understanding of both the franchisee and franchisor sides of the business.
As well as his regional franchising responsibilities, Ricky is a trainer and presenter at Jim’s Group NZ Induction Training, working with new franchisees helping them understand the systems, strategies and mindset required to build a successful business.
Outside of work, Ricky enjoys travelling, spending time with his family, and watching sport. Having spent many years behind a mower himself, he’s also enjoying the challenge of trying to keep fit now that he isn’t mowing lawns every day!
