Invercargill Regional Manager Glenn Cockroft appears to be future proofing his region’s business.
In the past two months, two franchisees from the team have given birth. Jackie Batoy has a new baby boy named Anthony Junior and Julie Cacdac has a daughter named Lovi.
To celebrate the births, Glenn presented them both with framed New Franchisee Applications with the names of their babies already filled in, pre-dated for 18 years from now.
“To save time, I filled out the application forms with the babies’ names – and dated them for their 18th birthdays when they would be eligible to own a business and become the next generation of Crest franchisees in the area,” says Glenn.
He presented the applications to the new mums at a recent family day, held for all the Invercargill franchisees. They shared a potluck lunch and had an opportunity to meet and greet new team members that have joined Crest recently – including the two newborns.
“I’m just confirming the next generation of Crest franchisees coming through,” jokes Glenn. “It always pays to look ahead, doesn’t it?”
