2024 NZ Franchise Awards Results
CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE

59 Finalists. 17 Awards. 2 Supreme Winners 

Top names in franchising were once again holding their collective breath as the results of extensive entries, judging and years of hard work came to fruition for one night of celebration at the annual Westpac New Zealand Franchise of the Year Awards. 

On Saturday 9 November, at the opulent Cordis Hotel in Auckland, a record 350+ people gathered at the 29th Westpac New Zealand Franchise Awards to celebrate true excellence and achievement in franchising. This year’s two overall winners both came from the tightly fought Home & Lifestyle category: Driving Miss Daisy was crowned Supreme Franchise System of the Year and Steven Painter & Gerry Schumacher of Landmark Homes Taupō took home the coveted title of Supreme Franchisee of the Year.

There were category winners by industry, awards for excellence in topics from marketing to sustainability, and recognition for the service providers and field managers who lie behind every great franchise and franchisee. Winners from Hamilton, Taupō, Palmerston North and the outer edges of Auckland showed the strength of franchising in the regions and all but three of the winning brands were New Zealand’s own homegrown franchises, including the Supreme winners.

Westpac Supreme Franchise System of the Year
Winner: Driving Miss Daisy

“Driving Miss Daisy ticked all the boxes,” said this year’s judges in awarding the franchise their first Supreme Franchise System of the Year title. “They demonstrated a clear strategic plan and exceptional relationships and evidenced how they empower franchisees to accelerate growth. They are an extremely high performing business that continues to show very impressive growth and expansion.”

New Zealand’s number one companion driving service, Driving Miss Daisy currently has over 80 territories in operation. Pitching their franchises as an extremely affordable small business option, the service is going from strength to strength up and down the country.

At the core of its company, Driving Miss Daisy is dedicated to providing clients with a safe, friendly and reliable companion driving service. Values of integrity, empathy, professionalism, safety and importantly – fun, ensure the many thousands of driving services carried out each year are consistently second to none. 

Like many of the world’s best ideas, Jack and Melanie Harper grew this award-winning franchise system from a very simple concept after Melanie started driving her Aunt Trish to appointments in Havelock North.

Trish no longer drove herself and she enjoyed Melanie’s companionship as well as the peace of mind in being able to safely get to where she needed to go. In 2008, Melanie and husband Jack considered providing the service on a broader scale across New Zealand and soon developed a business system, which they named Driving Miss Daisy.

After extensive research they registered Driving Miss Daisy NZ Ltd and trademarked the brand in New Zealand, Australia and the UK. The business was officially launched in May 2009, and now has over 80 franchises successfully operating across New Zealand, as well as franchises in the UK and Australia.

On November’s awards night, Jack and Melanie Harper were on their way back from UK, so General Manager Andrew Kirkpatrick and Franchise Manager Ange Mill accepted the Supreme Franchise System of the Year trophy and shield on their behalf.

Andrew said, “It was an epiphany of Melanie’s that created the brand, then the combined vision, beliefs and determination of Jack and Melanie built the business to where it is today. They deserve all and full credit for all that has been achieved so far. However, this is only today and there are lots of exciting dreams to chase and we look forward to those.”

Westpac Supreme Franchisee of the Year
Winner: Steven Painter & Gerry Schumacher – Landmark Homes Taupō

With over 45 years of ‘building landmarks’, Landmark Homes was one of the first home-building companies in New Zealand to embrace the franchise business model. Its reputation for excellence in the market has been cemented further by franchisees Steven Painter & Gerry Schumacher of Landmark Homes Taupō being named Westpac Supreme Franchisee of the Year 2024. 

With his accountant and friend Gerry Schumacher, builder Steven Painter purchased a Landmark Homes franchise ten years ago, at the age of 30.

“Landmark has a reputable name and builds beautiful individual homes, and beautiful businesses, too,” he says. “The systems, the support and the financial rewards have all been superb. I’m regularly in touch with the support office and have continued to utilise all the resources available as we’ve grown.”

Judges of this year’s Westpac New Zealand Franchise Awards said of winners Steven and Gerry, “They have a holistic and robust approach in applying the franchise system, as well as purpose and drive for continuous improvement across all aspects of their business.

“Theirs was an exceptional submission, demonstrating that the owners understand and engage well with every stakeholder who plays a part in the success of the business.”

On awards night, Steven accepted the Supreme Franchisee of the Year award on behalf of the Landmark Homes Taupō team, filling the stage with colleagues who he paid tribute to as well as thanking key suppliers, without whom the franchise would not have achieved so much.

Steven told the audience that the Landmark Homes system is blessed to have a host of very supportive franchisees, who get on well and push each other to succeed. His ‘good chat’ brought laughter from the crowd.

Awards judges heaped praise on the partnership, “Steven & Gerry demonstrated that they understand how to create an exceptional client experience, develop staff and achieve sustainable success.”  

For the pair, this prestigious accolade is yet another - albeit grand - step on their way to building not only more great homes, but true franchise greatness.

Retail & Hospitality

Retail & Hospitality Franchisee of the Year 
Winner: Nilupa Weerakoon, Bakers Delight, Hamilton East

Judges praised Nilupa Weerakoon’s ‘incredibly strong commitment to customers and the wider community’, with an entry which ‘clearly reflected the passion of the owners.’

For Nilupa Weerakoon and her husband Darshana Hewage, the journey towards owning their Bakers Delight franchise business is a dream that began half-way around the world, in Dubai. From hotel front office worker and pastry chef respectively, the couple have made their bakery business rise to great heights since arriving in New Zealand in 2007.

The Hamilton East Bakers Delight owners ensure staff are well trained to provide quality service, noted the judges. “The outcome of this is evident in high levels of customer satisfaction, as well as business and revenue growth,” they remarked. 

The couple also enjoy much in the way of rewarding interactions with the community and schools, and love to get involved in local events. They say they now have full confidence in the security of their future in the country they have been grateful to settle in.

Being named Retail & Hospitality Franchisee of the Year marks a milestone full of pride and joy for the pair, 13 years after their far-flung dream of business ownership in New Zealand became a reality. 

Finalists

Kathryn Darroch, Rodney Wayne, Whangārei
Gaye McLaren, Rodney Wayne, Sylvia Park

 

Retail & Hospitality Franchise System of the Year 
Winner: Coffee Culture

Judges commented, “Coffee Culture has demonstrated extremely strong business performance, with impressive sales and profit figures. No easy achievement in the challenging hospitality sector.” 

Coffee Culture is one of the South Island's most well-loved boutique groups of coffee shops. With over 22 years' experience, the franchise says it offers ‘support and training that's second to none’. COO Sacha Coburn and founder Chris Houston have been the driving force for the culture and continued growth and development of Coffee Culture.

In the lead up to the event, Sacha commented, “I'm so used to being a judge, or the guest speaker, or the MC at business awards that it feels weird to be an entrant, and now a finalist. Feeling nervous, but very proud of the team who for nearly 30 years have served our loyal guests coffee made with love.”

Famous for having high standards, Chris is passionate about delivering a top-quality product with outstanding service to everyone who visits a Coffee Culture store. He loves getting onto the tools when he gets the chance and is excited to have developed the business to its current heights. 

Adding additional praise, this year’s judges said, “Coffee Culture provided evidence of strong franchisee support and relationships, as well as positive customer engagement and loyalty.”

Home & Lifestyle

Home & Lifestyle Franchisee of the Year 
Winner: Steven Painter & Gerry Schumacher, Landmark Homes, Taupo

Steven and Gerry of Landmark Homes Taupō won both this category and the Supreme Franchisee of the Year title. The category was hotly contested, as always, and winning is a testament to the pair’s complementary skills, experience, passion and business acumen.

“Their strong customer and team satisfaction, along with their financial and other performance results are evidence of an exceptional business,” said judges.

Franchise co-owner Steven is passionate about building beautiful homes. And with 20 years of building experience, he knows what he’s doing.

Originally from Hawke's Bay, Steven entered a building apprenticeship from high school. He then moved to Taupō to build his parents’ home and never left — his parents are still in that home! After running his own building company for several years, Steven and co-owner Gerry Schumacher teamed up to take on the Landmark Homes Taupō franchise. Gerry is also the customer service side of the franchise. An accountant and the former business development manager for Landmark Homes NZ, he’s an expert on budgeting and planning.

“Being an experienced builder definitely helps you understand the risks around key areas, and that’s important when you’re speaking to clients,” he says. “I take them through the process, right from the design stage, and tell them what works.” Whoever bowls into their Taupō office can expect a smile, a happy vibe, and a positive experience.

Home & Lifestyle Franchise System of the Year
Winner: Driving Miss Daisy

‘Always a pleasure, never a chore’ - Driving Miss Daisy won both this category and the Supreme Franchise System of the Year title. 

Judges said the franchise’s submission ‘presented an excellent and well-run business, delivering outstanding results across the board’. They also paid tribute to ‘a strong brand, very happy customers, excellent financial performance, and happy franchisees’.

Encouraging clients to ‘make a friend and keep your independence’ Driving Miss Daisy empowers people, ensuring they are ‘in charge, free to go wherever and whenever you want’.  Whether driving customers to a medical appointment, to collect groceries, visit relatives or go for a coffee catch-up with friends, Driving Miss Daisy is much more than a driver; they’re trusted friend. 

The service has the companion driving contract for ACC, so can provide transport for approval injury claim requests. It is also the transport provider for the Total Mobility Scheme in most regions throughout New Zealand; a subsidised transportation scheme administered by local regional councils and government.

Franchisees are supported by rigorous systems, meaning that despite the complexity of the regulatory environment, no previous experience is needed and franchisees are encouraged to grow their businesses by building a fleet of drivers.

That initial vision has translated, 47 years later, into 14 franchises and a host of accolades, with this latest scoop for its award-winning marketing campaign highlighting 45 years of building Landmark homes.
