With a passion to spend more time with the family… – John Sheppard

After nearly 30 years in the finance industry, it was certainly time to try something a little different. With a passion to spend more time with the family, and a want to make decisions that impacted on us only, we decided to look for a small business that would suit our wish for a change in lifestyle.

I enjoy being part of a structured, well managed and growing system – Anton LeRoux

After graduating from Uni with a Bachelor of Engineering degree and working for 22 years as engineer and project manager in various companies, a lifestyle change seemed like a good idea. I wanted to work for myself and was looking for something that would offer a good balance between work and family time at as little risk as possible, hence I investigated multiple business opportunities. I enjoy being part of a structured, well managed and growing system, but most of all, being in control of my own time. I decided that franchising offered a safer way to get into business for myself. I sorted through the better known franchises and found that the Jim’s Pool Care group certainly offered what I was looking for.

It ticked all the boxes for me… – Simon Farmer

It ticked all the boxes for me. Flexible working hours, outdoors, physical work (but not too physical) I am more motivated now than I ever was when I was an employee, and could not imagine going back to working for someone else. Jim’s Pool Care has given me an opportunity to grow in so many ways that I would not have considered or achieved 10 years ago.
