Tuesday 22nd October saw the nation’s most prominent and successful Franchise systems come together for the annual Franchise Council of Australia Awards.
In one of the night’s most prestigious awards, Just Cuts™ Franchising founder and CEO Denis McFadden was inducted into the Franchise Hall of Fame for his contribution to Australian Franchising.
Denis has built a Franchising empire second to none based on a simple philosophy of providing your Clients with a first class experience and offering a quality Style Cuts™ cut by a specialist cutter at an affordable price. Just Cuts™ is now home to 175 salons across Australia and New Zealand, doing over 66,000 cuts per week.
Humbled by the acknowledgement, Denis has thanked all of the Just Cuts™ Franchise Owners, Team Members and Stylists for making this possible.
“It was 23 years ago we opened our first Just Cuts™ franchise, I was 45 years of age, still cutting hair and had 5 salons. I put scripts and systems in place and realised I didn’t need to be there to run the business,
I had created a franchise prototype.
I didn’t know at the time but I had filled a need in the market with Just Cuts™, says Denis.
Franchising has paved the way for many small businesses to prosper and grow in a time of uncertainty and economic instability. It is thanks to the pioneers of Franchising in Australia such as Denis and his peers that have allowed for multi-site franchise owners to succeed in such economic turmoil.
‘The Hall Of Fame to me means sharing a place in history, a place alongside the great men and women who shaped franchising in Australia, and the winning brands who continue to innovate, says Denis.
Soon franchising may run the world and well, maybe it should.’
2013 has also seen the launch of Just Cuts™ exclusive professional hair care line; JUSTICE Professional™. Exclusive to Just Cuts™, this 14 product styling and care range caters for your every need, enriching the Just Cuts™ experience.
