Trugreen Case Study

John C Davy
Northumberland and Carlisle

John C Davy shares his experience of running a TruGreen franchise business in Northumberland and Carlisle. "Prior to buying my TruGreen franchise,I was General Manager for a major motor retailer and based in the North East.The fact that I had been involved in motor retailing for over 30 years was a significant factor in my decision to become self employed, as I could not envisage a further 10 or more years doing a job which was failing to deliver personal satisfaction any longer."
