Mac Tools is going from strength to strength with the introduction of a new and innovative Development and Training Programme. The new programme is spear-headed by Australian-born Franchise Training and Development Manager Stephen Gotz.

Stephen has over 20 years of experience in the franchise industry and joined Mac Tools 18 months ago as a National Franchise Manager. He is now looking forward to applying this experience to the continuous development of the Mac Tools franchise opportunity by ensuring that the high levels of training and support are developed even further so that franchisees have all the tools they need to develop a healthy and profitable business.

“Training is all about evolving and that’s why I believe that, just like our franchisees evolve through our training, the training itself also needs to continuously evolve so that the Mac Way can facilitate further growth for our franchisees and Mac Tools itself in the years to come.

“I know from my own experience that joining a franchise is one of the most important decisions in someone’s life and so we want to make sure that we deliver training and development that does justice to that decision. This new programme is committed to make the Mac Tools training experience second to none and delivers our business promise of being ‘Great To Work With’,” explains Stephen.

Mac Tools is part of Stanley Black & Decker, a £7+ billion global organisation employing over 30,000 people worldwide and owner of the world famous brands such as DeWALT, Facom and Britool Expert. Their new development and training programme ensures that not only Mac Tool’s franchisees but also their support staff at the Mac Tools headquarters in Sheffield, receive continuous training that allows them to fully utilise their skills-sets.

“I really enjoy working for Mac Tools, it’s great to welcome new franchisees and see them hitting the road with their vans. It is a gratifying experience to see the franchise model, our franchisees and our team go from strength to strength,” adds Stephen.

Mac Tools franchisees are the trusted tool specialists for the professional technician at to car dealerships, automotive repair shops, manufacturing units, and engineering companies. The Mac Tools line consists of over 18,000 professional tools including screwdrivers, ratchets, wrenches, and assorted air tools, as well as its own toolboxes.
