Geelong asphalt and pavement maintenance franchising business Crackmasters, has sold their first franchise which will operate in the Gold Coast, Queensland.

Crackmasters founders have a combined total of over 60 years experience in the industry and after running their own business successfully for over two years made the decision to franchise in late 2010.

Jason Cobb, Crackmasters Founder and Director, said he has been working with Sherpa Group throughout his franchising journey and is excited to be growing the Crackmasters network with his first franchisee.

“It’s exciting that our network is growing successfully and we are well on the way with our franchising journey, expanding our customer offering nationally through committed and talented franchisees,” Mr Cobb said.

“When I first started franchising I was given some bad advice; but after being introduced to Vicki Prout and her team at Sherpa Group my confidence and beliefs in franchising have really grown. I highly value my close working relationship with Sherpa Group and their support throughout the franchisee recruitment process.”

With training and preparation well underway Crackmasters Gold Coast Franchisee David Townley is looking forward to opening his doors for trading at the end of July 2011.

“I have a solid background in self employment and I was looking for a new challenge and opportunity with growth potential,” Mr Townley said.

“I see the value and demand of the products and services on offer by Crackmasters and I am thrilled to be joining their franchise team and offering these services to the Gold Coast market.”

Crackmasters offer asphalt and pavement maintenance solutions to both the commercial and domestic market. Franchisees enjoy an outdoors lifestyle, comprehensive training and support, a business that is financially simple with strong cash flow and cost effective techniques and simple technologies.
