Greensleeves serves an ace at its first in-person conference for two years
Held on the pristine grass of Wimbledon’s Centre Court, it was the perfect venue to celebrate and share the successes and achievements of the past two years and discuss future opportunities and growth for the lawn care franchise.
“We’ve been in constant virtual contact with our franchisees and their teams over the last 24 months, but it was fantastic to be back in a venue with so many of them again. Nothing beats the atmosphere of a Greensleeves conference, where the sense of collaboration and pride is so evident. It was a great day and very well received by all,” said David Truby, Managing Director of Greensleeves.
Attended by franchisees and key suppliers from across the UK, the conference was the first time the network had come together in person since January 2020. The event created a valuable opportunity to celebrate the growth of the brand, unite post-COVID and welcome 16 new franchisees, all of whom joined in the last two years.
The overarching theme of the conference was ‘Further Together’, and this was exemplified in all the inspiring talks delivered by Greensleeves head office and the keynote speakers. Managing Director, David Truby, kickstarted the conference by sharing ideas and best practice for the brand, followed by Cheryl Harper, Business Manager, who spoke about growth mindset and how success is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
To engage and entertain the delegates, there were also a number of guest speakers, including Wimbledon’s Head of Courts and Horticultural, Neil Stubley, who talked about the history of the venue and how they maintain the courts. Very apt for a lawn care franchise. The icing on the cake, however, was Olympic athletes Roger Black MBE and Steve Backley OBE, who together with their experienced business coach, Paul Mallinson, delivered a unique and impactful workshop which energised all the franchisees to continually strive and compete successfully, like Olympians.
“The conference has been a great success and we’re all so excited about the future of Greensleeves – next year we will be celebrating our 25th anniversary, so our conference will be even bigger and better,” added David. “The African proverb, ‘If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go further go together’ summed up our business landscape, and we are now all feeling recharged, motivated and full of positivity to take Greensleeves to the next level of growth. Without our fantastic network of franchisees, we wouldn’t be here today, so thank you to everyone who has contributed over the past 24 years.”
Mark Warrington of Greensleeves Preston and Southport District was one franchisee who attended the conference. “Just a quick note to thank you and all at HQ for a great event at Wimbledon. I think these have been missed due to the pandemic and are a way of bringing everyone together and giving everyone a boost. There was obviously a lot of effort from everyone organising, preparing speeches etc, and I’m sure it hasn’t gone unnoticed by everyone who attended. Thank you!”
Established in 1998, Greensleeves is a lawn care franchise with 108 territories in the UK. Delivering an all-year-round lawn care service through a network of franchisees across the UK, the brand had a record-breaking year in 2021 and is on track to achieve similar results in 2022.
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”
