The Franchise Council of Australia (FCA) recognised franchising's best in Western Australia at the FCA 2018 WA Excellence in Franchising Awards presentations in Perth last week, announcing Emily Slevin of Aussie Pooch Mobile as WA's 2018 Franchise Woman of the Year.
Slevin started out as an Aussie Pooch Mobile franchisee but when the chance to become Western Australia's Regional Master Franchisee for the brand presented itself, it was an opportunity she couldn't pass up.
"I didn't go into franchising with the ambition of becoming a Master Franchisee," she says. "It was a progression of me finding something that I loved and being supported through it all. The personal growth that I've had through franchising has been huge."
Aussie Pooch Mobile was created by another successful franchise business woman, Christine Taylor. Taylor launched the business in 1992 at the age of 23, becoming the first person to franchise a mobile dog washing business in the world and was inducted into the Australian Businesswomen's Hall of Fame in 2016.
The FCA Awards showcase the diversity and opportunity that franchising provides, recognising franchising success across a broad range of sectors, including mobile services, restaurants and coffee shops, courier and logistics services, and banking.
Other winners at the event included Manish Gupta, franchisee of Hog's Breath Cafe, Mandurah/Eaton, Hog's Express, Mandurah, and Funky Mexican Cantina, Mandurah, who was named the WA Multi-Unit Franchisee of the Year; Kenneth Ting of Jamaica Blue, Waterford, who took home the award for WA Franchisee of the Year, two or more staff; and Aaron Gunthorpe of Pack & Send, Midland, who won the WA Single Unit Franchisee of the Year, less than two staff Award for 2018. Bendigo Bank, North Perth, won the award for WA Franchisee Community Responsibility and Contribution.
