Mobile franchises Mini-Tankers moves into Greenfield area

John Biewer worked for one of Australia’s major fuel companies prior to becoming a franchisee with mobile franchises, Mini-Tankers Australia . As the companies project manager he completed an analysis on the driving franchise and liked the concept Mini-Tankers offered.

Two years later when he moved to Geelong, VIC and was considering different options for starting his own business or establishing his own independent tanker business, he remembered his analysis.

John chose to join the Mini-Tankers mobile franchises due to three invaluable features;

• With a great reputation, Mini-Tankers had an established customer base and the ability to attract new customers
• The mobile franchises take the risk out of credit control, an issue which is huge in the independent tanker business and could equate to a businesses failure
• The franchise supply drivers to cover John’s region allowing him to take holidays when he likes.

Setting up in a Greenfield area, franchisors, Greg Storm and Tony Hartin assisted in producing a business plan and provided invaluable support.
 
Years later, John’s driving franchise is a success and his favourite part of the job is the autonomy he is afforded. Mini-Tankers Geelong has been involved in the construction of a large gas plant and the Geelong Cement Works demolition among smaller local projects.
