FRANCHISES : Overview | Success stories
a change of career after 25 years
Hi, my name is Phil Murrin. After being a baker for 25 years, I wanted a lifestyle change that enabled me to work out doors and balance my family and work commitments. Over an 18 month period, I researched many franchise opportunities and in particular gardening franchises. It became apparent to me that after meeting David Allington from Allingtons Lawn & Garden Care that this franchise was for me. I came to this realisation after numerous discussions with David regarding his passion and vision, along with the high standard of workmanship expected from all his franchisees, followed by the ongoing training and support.
Twelve months on, I enjoy meeting people and helping them create /or maintain their gardens to suit their lifestyle. Within the summer season my day covers many aspects of lawn and garden care including: trimming and hedging shrubs, coring and scarifying lawns, fertilising lawns and gardens and repairing and
modifying irrigation systems. In the winter months to come I will also be pruning many varietys of roses and fruit trees.
Phil Murrin owns Allingtons Lawn & Garden Care Flagstaff Hill and services Flagstaff Hill and surrounding suburbs in the south of Adelaide he can be contacted direct on 0407 728 774.
from the classroom to the garden
Hello, my name is Gerard Flanagan. After many years as a teacher I decided I needed a change. I needed a new job offering me the flexibility to work around a hectic family life.
So after spending considerable time investigating various lawn and garden franchises I opted to join Allingtons Lawn & Garden Care, and I havn’t looked back.
I decided to join David for several reasons and I am more than happy with my move. The number one factor in joining Allingtons was the man himself. Straight, honest and personable and I quickly learnt he was a man who knew and loved his business. Not only is his knowledge second to none, he is more importantly able to pass this knowledge on in a very effective manner.
David’s on the job training and training manuals enabled me to quickly set up a profitable business, and the training never ends. David is only ever a phone call away with advice on how, what, where and when. And if it can’t be settled on the phone David will meet me on the site, which is invaluable.
It's a pure joy to be outdoors working in a garden. Sure beats the classroom!
