E-Blast: The Jim’s Group National Franchise Training held in BDA’s Office due to COVID-19

Due to the COVID-19 barriers, Jim’s Group led by Divisional Franchisor Pest Control, Manie Van Vuuruen, held their first National Training Franchisee Induction Program in BDA’s Perth Conference and Training Room.

The Jim’s group, headquartered in Mooroolbark, Victoria is a new Franchisee for Jim’s Dog Wash and and Jim’s Pest Control. This company enjoyed 3 days of intensive training in Perth’s BDA offices from 7th-9th December 2020.

Jim’s Divisional Franchisor – Pest Control, Manie Van Vuuren, said, “it was wonderful to be able to host the training in WA for the three-days intensive induction training, for what we would normally have to fly to Melbourne and undertake. With all the issues surrounding COVID-19, it was really important to us to be able to get our new franchisees inducted and commencing their businesses prior to the Christmas break. This has happened with the assistance of Mark and his team”.

We really appreciate the gratitude expressed by the Jim’s Group towards BDA. It was also an honor for us to be able to provide training facilities for our clients. We are definitely looking forward for more working opportunities in the future.
