The awards for OPSM’s 2013 Franchise Partners have just been announced at a lavish ceremony held recently at Palm Cove, Queensland. The annual OPSM Franchise Partner Awards ceremony recognises Franchise Partners who have delivered excellence in their business over the past year.
Peter Baily, OPSM Franchising & Acquisitions Director, commented on the importance of OPSM’s Franchise Partners to OPSM’s business: “We are proud of the contribution our Franchise Partners make to our organisation. Our Franchise Partners are passionate about providing leading eye care and eyewear for their customers and these awards recognise and reward the efforts of them and their team.”
On receiving his Rising Star Award Theo Charambolous, a Franchise Partner at OPSM Pakenham, said: “It’s great for my team and I to be recognised by the well-regarded OPSM network for our hard work in providing our local community with the best eye care and customer service possible.
“I have enjoyed running my own optical business for many years but decided to convert it to the OPSM brand under a franchise model and have not looked back. The marketing and support have been outstanding and are really driving the growth of my business.”
The annual conference is part of OPSM’s focus on partnerships, where Franchise Partners are encouraged to share their practical experience and knowledge.
