Franchise business reaches 500 reviews milestone
Stumpbusters has reached 500 reviews on Trustpilot, with a 96 per cent ‘Excellent’ rating.
The company’s 20-plus franchisees grind out tree stumps from a variety of locations, including golf courses, parks and private homes.
They also service national contracts with organisations such as the National Trust.
Franchisor and ex-Stumpbusters franchisee Darren Taylor says: “We’ve got a fantastic group of franchisees in Stumpbusters and these 500 reviews are testament to that. Many congratulations to them all.
“Luckily, as their jobs are outside, they’re still able to carry out many of their jobs in spite of COVID-19. All franchisees have received PPE and advice on working in a COVID safe way.”
Darren knows what it’s like to be a Stumpbusters franchisee, working long hours in all weathers.
He adds: “As a franchisor, I can’t change the weather, but I can give them the very best tools and equipment to do their jobs, from securing the UK import rights to Alpine Magnums, one of the most portable grinders in the world, to developing our own 38hp stump grinder, which six of our franchisees are now using in their territories.
“The investment our franchisees make in these most cutting edge pieces of equipment, coupled with their skills and experience, are clearly reflected in the reviews provided by our customers.
“My team and I will always do our utmost to support our franchisees behind the scenes and thank them for doing such a great job every day.”
Stumpbusters was founded in 1991 and is part of the Taylor Made Franchising group.
As well as Stumpbusters, the multi-franchisor also owns Thomas Cleaning, Wilkins Chimney Sweep, PVC Vendo and Traas Pest Control.
