Everyone shares stories and advice and best practice.

Greensleeves has netted the 5-star Franchisee Satisfaction Award from WorkBuzz for the second year running!
In March 2022, Greensleeves franchisees took part in an independent survey assessing the franchise brand this year. WorkBuzz, who has been gathering objective feedback from franchisees across 200+ brands since 2011 for their Franchisee Satisfaction Benchmark Survey, announced that Greensleeves had received 5-star levels of franchisee satisfaction status for a consecutive year.
WorkBuzz invited Greensleeves franchisees to rate their franchisor, its products and services and its infrastructure. The results of this survey produce a benchmark of satisfaction scores, and high-scoring franchises are then in the running for awards held later in the year. Greensleeves achieved a record-breaking network turnover for the second year in a row in 2021, something which the horticultural franchise attributes to its great relationships with its franchisees. As well as receiving 5-star franchisee satisfaction, Greensleeves’ good rapport with its network can be demonstrated by every franchisee re-signing for another term as they enter into their renewal period.
The WorkBuzz survey is a great way to show how well we're performing and set a strategy for the future. As it’s conducted by an independent 3rd party, and is entirely anonymous, we can be sure we're getting honest feedback. You can also be confident that you are getting an accurate picture of just how well we perform, and the results speak for themselves.
- 88% of franchisees said they felt proud to be a part of Greensleeves
- 83% of franchisees said they would recommend Greensleeves to prospective franchisees
- 95% said they planned to renew their franchise agreement when it came up
- 84% expect their profits to increase over the next 12 months
Just as importantly, if not more so, is that a whopping 94% said they felt Greensleeves understood if franchisees are successful, they will be successful. This really is what franchising is all about, and Greensleeves have got it nailed.
David Truby, Managing Director of Greensleeves (pictured) said: “What an unbelievable start to 2022! We are delighted to receive the WorkBuzz 5 Star Franchisee Satisfaction Award again - it is a great tribute to all the head office team at Greensleeves and the fantastic work they do. We have worked hard during these challenging times to expand the network, maintain our standards, and create a brand people are proud to be part of. I’m thrilled to see our efforts reflected in the report and it’s a real credit to all the team here in head office who support our franchise partners,” said.
“After the WorkBuzz survey results last year, we identified areas where we could improve and as a result we have worked hard to address these issues over the past year. Communication was an area we decided we wanted to develop, especially with the pandemic throwing up challenges around meeting franchisees face to face. We enhanced and added to our communication by providing our franchisees with more Zoom meetings, regular Question and Answer sessions and introduced a new franchise forum. It’s amazing to now see all of our hard work paying off.
“We’re proud to receive a 97% score from our franchisees agreeing our team is willing to go the extra mile, but we won’t be resting on our laurels any time soon. There’s still plenty we can do to ensure we continue to provide our network of over 100 franchisees the tools to succeed over the coming year,” added David.
By joining a franchise like Greensleeves, you’re not only investing in a fantastic business opportunity, you’re also becoming part of a team that is 100% dedicated to supporting you every step of the way.

After 38 years in the corporate world, I was looking for an opportunity to run my own business. I wanted a professional company that would leave me alone to get on with it but always be there to offer advice and support when it was required. With the passion, enthusiasm and honesty of David Truby I knew that Greensleeves was a firm I could work with. I have subsequently discovered that Cheryl Harper and the support team are even more incredible and nothing is too much trouble.”
Once I had decided to buy a franchise I was unsure which direction to take, all became clear when I met Greensleeves. The business model is solid and combined with the experience and personalities of the head office team I knew that a Greensleeves lawn treatment franchise was for me. I love being my own boss and the satisfaction I get from transforming a customer’s lawn is fantastic. The support that I have received has been second to none, it is reassuring to know that I have a team of business experts at my fingertips. ”
The initial support and training were excellent and the ongoing support is there for you, but not invasive. In particular David Truby and Cheryl Harper, have been great and are, just as they appear to be, passionate and professional, with a desire to help you build the business and brand. It is key to have a plan and work with it, striving in both short, medium and long term goals. This business works well, but planning, marketing, work ethic and people skills are all required to drive it to maximise its opportunity.”
“We found Greensleeves to be very approachable and flexible throughout the joining process. Their staff were always available to answer and deal with the many questions we had and they were and still are extremely accommodating and accessible at all times. The friendly and helpful relationship was invaluable during the early stages and has continued unchanged through our early months of operation”
