VIP New Zealand Today
The demand for professional home services continues to grow in NZ and the VIP Home Services' system is a proven winner with our customers, who show a clear preference for VIP franchisees over the many options available to them. Our franchisees offer not only the security and peace of mind that comes with a large company, but also the personalised service of a small independent business owner. It's a win-win-win for everyone.
In addition, the demand for high-performing business opportunities is also strong in NZ and VIP Home Services' franchises are a winner with our franchisees. A recent comment from one of NZ's better known bankers suggested that VIP is one of the very few home services franchise systems to properly support its franchisees.
To ensure continued growth and support for customers and franchisees, VIP Home Services is developing a strong Regional Master Franchise base. There are currently five Regional Master Franchises overseeing VIP's NZ activities in the Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Wellington and Christchurch regions - recruiting, training and supporting a fast growing network of indoor and outdoor franchisees.
We continue to innovate and introduce improvements to all areas of our operation. One such innovation is our newly introduced Root Boost - designed specifically by VIP Home Services to strengthen your lawn and plants in dry and drought conditions.
Another enhancement to VIP's business is our sharpened focus on the impact our franchisees can and do have on the environment.
This symbol reflects our commitment to the environment. It reminds us of our promise to our customers. V.I.P. has always stood for "Very Important People" (our very important customers) and still does. It now also stands for "Very Important Planet" because we think it's time somebody stepped up to be counted.
VIP Commences New Zealand
John & Estelle Logan
Operation
Having perfected "the VIP System" as a highly successful franchise, VIP Home Services commenced operations in New Zealand during 1992. Initial efforts focussed on the main centres and soon grew to offer VIP franchises and services to more than 70% of the NZ population.
In 1994, VIP caught the eye of current National Franchisees, John & Estelle Logan, who started by purchasing a Regional Master franchise.
VIP Home Services' Origins
Bill Vis
When Bill Vis began mowing lawns part-time in Adelaide during the early 70's, he had no idea that he was laying the foundation of what would soon become Australasia's foremost home services franchise system. Bill's business became very successful, but he soon found that the profits were being eaten up on the time wasted travelling between customers. He also found that other private operators weren't willing to cooperate in an effort to eliminate crossing paths with each other, or reduce lost travelling time.
That led Bill to first employ help and then to seek other people interested in operating their own lawn mowing business as a franchise. Today, there are some 1,100 franchisees offering a full range of home services to millions of Australians and New Zealanders.
