Recruitment news Top signing for Domino’s Pizza Robin Auld has joined ChipsAway, the leading repairer of superficial damage to vehicle paintwork, as marketing director. He was with Domino’s Pizza for over six years and its marketing director for four, a period when its pizza delivery stores doubled to more than 600 and its advertising budget grew from £8m to £22m. His aim is to help ChipsAway achieve a similar rate of growth. “The timing is absolutely right for ChipsAway,” he said. “Those who know the brand rate it extremely high with 85 per cent saying they would use its services again and recommend it to others.” He added that in addition to its van-based, mobile workshop franchises ChipsAway offered static car centres which gave franchisees the scaleability to grow their business. “The key is to recruit franchisees who are committed to the significant growth and development of their own business and the brand,” he said, echoing one of the reasons why Domino’s has become one of the most successful franchises in the UK. “I’m definitely up for the challenge and looking forward to the ride,” he added. He will meet ChipsAway’s franchisees during the forthcoming round of regional meetings. Anne Blee, who has been group marketing director for ChipsAway’s parent company, Franchise Brands Worldwide, a franchise investment firm, becomes marketing director of another of the group’s franchises Ovenclean, the on-site oven valeting service.
Promotion at Cartridge World Adam Davison, 44, has been promoted from a business development manager to the newly-created post of UK field manager at Cartridge World, the leading franchised retailer of refilled printer cartridges. He joined the firm in 2007 to cover the stores in the North-West, Yorkshire and Scotland and he will now lead a team of four UK regional business development managers. An Australian system launched in 1988, Cartridge World has 1,600 stores in 60 countries of which 250 stores are in the UK. The units refill all the major brands of inkjet and laser cartridges in-store, offering customers substantial savings over the original manufacturers’ prices. “With our ongoing investment in our infrastructure and unrevealed range of support services to our franchisees, we are in the ideal position to maximise the opportunity to deliver cost-saving printing solutions that meet the needs of local customers and businesses nationwide,” says Davison. The concept offers a major environmental advantage as, according to the International Imaging Technology Council, thrown away cartridges can take up to 1,000 years to decompose. Some 45 million are sent to landfill sites a year in the UK, says the UK Cartridge Remanufacture Association. |
