Another two franchisees took to the road at the end of July following three weeks of training with Mac Tools. Launching their exclusive territories are Adrian Griggs in Ipswich and Craig Thorne in Bristol.
The new franchisees join a UK network of over 100 distributors and are keen to get out on the road after completing their training within the UK and at the Mac ‘Tool School’ in Ohio, USA. During their launch and opening weeks, they’ll receive hands-on support from a Regional Franchise Manager and regular support from a dedicated team of staff at the European Headquarters in Sheffield.
Mac Tools is part of Stanley Black & Decker, an $11+ billion global organisation employing over 30,000 people worldwide and owner of the world famous Stanley Black & Decker, Facom, Britool Expert and DeWalt brands.
The Mac Tools line consists of over 8,000 professional tools including screwdrivers, ratchets, wrenches, and assorted air tools, as well as its own toolboxes. Their franchisees are trusted distributors of what many consider to be the best quality tools on the market to customers such as car dealerships, automotive repair shops, manufacturing units, and engineering companies.
Adrian has spent 22 years as a Crew Manager in the Fire Service and was the leading firefighter appliance driver as well as having worked in the motor trade for 27 years! He explains why he chose to give all that up to run his own Mac Tools business, “I want to build a secure future for my family and having spent many years using Mac Tools, I’m confident that I can do that with products that I love and believe in. This franchise gives me the chance to be in charge of my own destiny.”
Craig has also spent a long time in the motor trade but as a motor technician for 19 years, “I use Mac Tools on a daily basis and they are the brand that I trust. I wanted to develop my skills and taking my knowledge of tools within the automotive industry and my enjoyment of interacting with people as a base and then adding the Mac Tools training and support has given me a great opportunity to start my own business. I chose Mac Tools against other tools franchises as I think they have a stronger product group.”
With a potential UK market of over £150 million, Mac Tools is a great franchise for someone with the drive, passion and desire to work for themselves. If you are ready to take the driver’s seat with Mac Tools, please
