Testimonials
“In my working life I have worked with many business owners, both as a paid employee and a business associate. I have been a GreenBizCheck business owner for 2 years now and I can honestly say I have never worked with 2 better people than Tony Hall and Nicholas Bernhardt. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They continually go "above and beyond". Their depth of knowledge and previous experiences has left them with the credentials to be highly effective franchisors.
Every business has occasional hiccups or issues and I cannot speak more highly of the assistance and guidance afforded to me by Nicholas and Tony. Head office management are also top notch. Holly, in her role as General Manager, and Denise, as Sales Director, have also provided me with many hours of valuable assistance and help.I cannot speak more highly of the GreenBizCheck team. They are a pleasure to work with.”
Les Napper, Melbourne Cheltenham GreenBizCheck Franchise Owner
I am the owner and director of HydroKleen Australia and currently have franchisees in nearly every state and Territory of Australia. We made the business decision to have a relationship with and become GreenBizCheck accredited.
We met with Steve Kondra at our office on the Gold Coast and found that he was not only professional and passionate about his business but a really nice gentleman. His attention to detail impressed us not only at the initial meeting but throughout our continued relationship.
Our initial concern was the enormity of this job and the time it would involve to achieve accreditation. This concern was soon dismissed once we met with Steve and understood the process.
HydroKleen Australia set out, initially, just to achieve accreditation to add value to our business when applying for particular tenders and large corporate quotes. We found that this accreditation achieved us and our franchisees far more. It gave credibility to our corporate responsibility and our culture. It presented to the consumer a third party independent endorsement that we are doing what we say we are. But more importantly it has opened the dialogue of the environment and what we want to achieve as a franchise group.
Our franchisees have embraced this accreditation and have become extremely proud of the achievement. So much so they have implemented the accreditation into other businesses they also own.
Steve & GreenBizCheck have supported us enormously, we are very detailed clients and let me just say we are not considered the easiest customers to some businesses. Steve has never faulted with his service and his genuine care for our business has been refreshing.
