There’s a ground-floor opportunity in workplace health and safety supplies and
services. Australian business spends more than $1 billion p.a. on safety, and policing
of regulations has created a boom market. Every year, more Australians are killed and
maimed in workplace accidents than are harmed on the roads and some of the fines
and payouts are defying imagination.
 Safety products are needed by a vast range of businesses, which traditionally have
sourced from monolithic suppliers fielding sales reps covering large territory who
provide impersonal service and poor advice - leaving a void,
particularly in the small to medium enterprise market.
The catch is that to carry the range required, compete on price
and have access to technical backup, you need to be big.
The solution is SafetyQuip – the only significant national
franchise network in workplace health and safety supplies and
consultancy. The business model offers buying power,
technical support and sophisticated systems, and when fully
developed, sees franchisees as white-collar managers of a
retail safety store/s with multi-mobile reach. The first
SafetyQuip business to reach this level was nominated a
finalist Franchise Council of Australia 'Franchisee of the Year'
(QLD) 05/06. Two others have been State Finalists, including
for 06/07.
With thirteen territories now operational, SafetyQuip remains the only significant
franchised network in full scope safety supplies and services. See our website (contact
above) and follow the franchise prompts.
