Feedback from franchisee's on John

“In 2005, my wife and I were looking for a change in lifestyle. In August of that year we meet John Crowe after making an enquiry regarding a Jim’s Mowing franchise.

From the onset we felt John answered our questions honestly and gave us an excellent overview.  Subsequently, we did buy a Jim’s Mowing franchise and have found the business immensely enjoyable and John’s support invaluable.  We have no hesitation in recommending John Crowe; he will provide you with honest, practical and sound advice (with a touch of humor!)”

"The Waikato region is lucky to have John Crowe at the helm. He is honest ,trustworthy and a man of his word.He is someone that will go the extra mile and has demonstrated this many times over the time I have known him.I am proud to be an associate and a friend of John and look forward to the same association in the years to come.In my opinion you could not get a better franchisor than John Crowe"
“In 1996 I was tired of traveling long distances to work, tired of working long hours and weekends too, and generally dissatisfied with working for others.  It was then that I made the decision to buy Jim’s Mowing Franchise.  I liked the idea of having a territory to work .  I was fortunate that at the time a franchise opportunity was available right where I lived.  No more travelling!  I could choose the hours I worked and I’m the boss.  I successfully ran my Jim’s Mowing Franchisee for 5 years then went to work as an independent contractor.  After a short time, I went back to my previous job;    But not for long!  I worked two years back in the rat race before I once again returned to Jim’s Mowing.  I looked at other franchise systems but realized that I couldn’t go wrong with Jim’s Mowing.

I have owned my current Jim’s Mowing Franchise for 48 months and have considered my decision to return to Jim’s Mowing to be one of the best I have ever made.”

Most importantly there is training and contact with other franchisees which gives you fresh ideas and motivation to build your business to the level of income that you want, while working the hours that suit you and gaining the satisfaction of working for yourself.”
