Just Cuts Awards 2009

One week away from the cold of the southern States is just what the doctor ordered for the delegates attending this year's Annual Just Cuts™ International Franchise Owners Conference in Cairns. Franchise Owners from Australia and New Zealand attended for a week in the sun!

Franchise Owners were welcomed on Monday night 6th July for a week of conferencing and one day on the Great Barrier Reef. The Gala Dinner saw an elegant opening and awards ceremony.

The 2009 Just Cuts Franchise awards were based on Mystery Shopper and Brand Alignment results, financial reporting, local area marketing and attendance to meetings and training days. The Franchise Owner/s must own and have been in the Just Cuts™ system for a minimum of 12 months, with the exception of the Rookie of the Year.

A total of 30 awards were presented with Just Cuts™ Eastlands TAS taking out the Australian Franchise Business of the Year award. Franchise Owners Damian and Cassandra Colefax said "To have our Eastland's salon recognised as a flagship within the franchise is humbling. We acknowledge the excellent support from Just Cuts™ and couldn't have achieved such status without the amazing commitment of our operations manager Shonah Luttrell, as well as the hard work and respect for the system from our Team Leaders and Team Members in all of our salons"

Just Cuts™ Hamilton, New Zealand Franchise Owner Linda & Paul Watts took out the New Zealand Franchise Business of the Year Award. Linda was thrilled and very proud of the team and what they had achieved. "It is an honour to receive the award and really the Team Leader, Susan and the team members must take the credit as they are the ones who on a daily bases make sure the Just Cuts™ system is followed and maintain the high standards".

Just Cuts™ CEO/Founder Denis Mc Fadden was ecstatic with the running of the Gala Dinner night and Awards Ceremony saying "Winning an award whether it be Rookie of the Year or the big gong National Franchise Business of the Year award, is a true indication of the dedication, commitment and support these Franchise Owners have for their business/es, Team Members and the Brand. The awards were well deserved and I encourage all business owners to take advice from these great ambassadors!"

Just Cuts™ Franchising would like to congratulate all the winners of the 2009 Annual International Franchise Owners Conference Gala Dinner night and Awards ceremony.
