Mike Love and Wayne OÕNeill, franchisees of the Kwik Kopy store in Knoxfield, have been hailed Franchise of the Year 2006 at the annual Kwik Kopy awards held in Melbourne. The successful store managed to stave off competition from 106 other Kwik Kopy franchise stores across Australia and New Zealand.

David Bell, managing director of Kwik Kopy Australia, said, “The award is judged on a range of criteria including input into the Kwik Kopy Australia system. Kwik Kopy Knoxfield scored highly as they continue to go above and beyond the call of duty within the system.”

Both Love and OÕNeill were thrilled to win the award and believe it will add credibility to their business. “The award means a great deal to us. We strive to continually improve our own performance within the system and this award is recognition of all our hard work,” said OÕNeill. He added, “Kwik Kopy is an established business with a good name and we havenÕt looked back since we started five years ago.”
