Greensleeves appeals to people of all ages, locations and career backgrounds. The typical job of a Greensleeves franchisee is to analyse, advise on and treat their customers’ lawns, visiting at least four
times a year to ensure their lawns are lush, green and healthy. Services range from seasonal treatment programmes through to specialist applications such as scarification, hollow tine aeration and re-seeding depending upon the requirements of each individual lawn. Greensleeves offers a very
comprehensive franchise package that includes products, skills training, marketing services, business and financial planning and accounts support – everything you need to launch a successful business. Previous experience running a business or a background in lawn care is not necessary – the company has a fantastic management system in place to deliver the regular support and training that franchisees need to succeed. The company directors are all franchisees in their own right and therefore understand the challenges facing franchisees, putting them in an excellent position to provide assistance and guidance when required.
David Truby, managing director, Greensleeves
Greensleeves is a business that grows with its franchisees’ enthusiasm and hard work, with the opportunity to reap the financial benefits straight away. Many franchisees now employ staff and own more than one van to cover a much larger demographic area, servicing more lawns and increasing their turnover as a direct result. Greensleeves provides an excellent opportunity to run your own lawn care business without the fear of the unknown. The unique support you receive from day one is invaluable in helping you to establish and grow a profitable business. n
