Franchise Background - Others

Prakash Dhana

My name is Prakash I have owned a Hire A Hubby Metro franchise since April 2005. My previous job was a roulette/blackjack dealer, with handyman projects on the side, as a hobby. These included building kitchen units, wooden furniture, built for my family and friends. Being employed day and night shifts was stressful, and impacted on my family and personal life.

I decided to buy a Hire A Hubby franchise because I wanted to be my own boss & I could combine my trade knowledge and experience but at the same time be supported by a well established organisation. After extensive research I decided Hire A Hubby was the most suitable franchise for me, and I have not looked back.

My skills have been self taught, reading magazines, past experience, a 'can do' attitude to solve challenges rather than leaving them.

Being a franchisee business owner allows me flexibility, which for a family man is a great advantage. Along with doing what I love, the opportunity of meeting different people. The support provided by the 'Hubby Network'. Ultimately, what I like most is seeing the satisfied looks on all my customers after a hard day's work!

I just completed 20 years of working underground in the Mount Isa mines and my wife and I decided to have a sea change, so we moved to Townsville (close to the Barrier Reef and the Bush). My wife transferred with her job but I myself wasn’t sure what I would do until I bumped into an ex Mt Isa friend (now living in Brisbane) who is a Hubby.

This sparked my interest after talking to him about Hire A Hubby, how they worked etc. This really interested me as I love all that sort of work around the house. I couldn’t imagine anything better than making a living from what you enjoy and being the boss at the same time.

It is nice to know that I am in control and I have none of the constraints and frustrations of working for someone else.
