With established methods, which are proven to help franchise owners improve their lifestyle and improve general wealth, we set chippies on a pathway to success. The constant support from our head office, training days and group meetings help to ensure all of our Smithies Franchise owners feel valued and looked after every step of the way.
Reons Journey
Our Story
Smith & Sons was formed in Queensland in 2007, with the first Smith & Sons office opening in Hamilton in 2008.
The Smith & Sons team quickly became well known for their prominent design centers, distinctive vehicles and most importantly outstanding customer service.
We are continuing to grow at a rapid rate with 25 offices now operating throughout New Zealand nationwide. As the network continues to grow, so does the reputation, and with no shortage of work the only way is up.
Recently celebrating 10 years, Smith & Sons now operate over 80 offices in Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
We call this our Design, Plan, Construct methodology.
SALES is key in every business, so Smith & Sons have developed a step-by-step process to lead clients from the initial enquiry to a completed project.
**This approach allows Smith & Sons Franchisees a much greater chance of winning the project and making profit on jobs**
